my first 4 lds in 1 night, some questions :D

**Ziadbadr127** · 07-07-2013 01:17 PM

okay so every night I sleep 2 am and try WILD I've been doing that for3-4 weeks and never had a lucid dream but last night i slept at9:30 pm and did my alarm on 4:30 to do a WBTB when the alarm rang i was too lazy to get up so I just closed it and slept directly a bit later I had my first dream.
red= lucid
black = normal dreaming

my first dream : I was behind someone on a motor cycle he was going very fast and idk how but i realised I was dreaming and I became lucid we was going to crash to a giant hill so I kept shouting fly above it,fly above it the motorcycle floated but not high enough and crashed to the hill and i got up I was happy that i got my first lucid and slept again and had a second dream

my second dream : I was in the school and it was the break time, I went and bought myself some juice then I found everyone clapping happily and shouting went there and found that there was a new stage or something was being built, everyone was celebrating so i started to dance and then i jumped and did 5 backflips then I was like WOW I can't do that I must be dreaming!!! then i rubbed my hand it became more vivid and kept doing more insane flips then I said maybe i could go talk to my friends, I walked towards them but I couldn't stop I just kept walking I tried to stop again and couldnt I got angry and wake up then I decided to sleep again so I slept and got another dream but the weird thing that I was lucid from the beginning of this dream

my third dream : I was like in a bus station I decided to go and do my parkour practice above the buses and it wasnt so vivid so i rubbed my hand it got a bit better but wasnt that good I jumped above a few buses then kept rubbing my hand to make it clear then I just wakeup

now for the questions:
1- what technique did I use to get lucid in dream two?
2- how was my third dream automatically lucid?
3-why couldn't I stop walking at dream two?
4-why didn't the motorcycle fly before crashing at dream one?
5-The most important question why did I always fail to get a lucid dream when i sleep at 2 am and I got 3 when I slept at 9 pm, does lucid dreaming have something with time?

thanks, Hope you help me guys

Edit: sorry for the title meant to write 3 ><
AGH please any mod move it to the right forum, so sorry :S

I'm no mod, but I would move it to 'General Lucid Discussion' if i were

. Maybe you can just re-post it there, if no mod shows up.

Anyways, first off congrats with the lucids :bravo:
So your practice finally shows some results after 3-4 weeks, nice to hear that.

I'm no expert and not so experienced with LDing either, but these are my best guesses:

1) Becoming lucid in the dream is DILD. It was triggered by your awareness to weird circumstances, as you say, so to get more of those you should maybe check out this one: ADA/DILD by KingYoshi.
As far as I can tell, your first one wasn't a WILD either, because you also went lucid from within the dream. Perhaps DILD is the way to go for you (people suggest ADA/DILD for beginners and/or MILD, which I am doing at the moment).

2) Hmm you say you practice WILD, which kinda implies being lucid from the beginning of the dream, as you 'consciously' fall asleep.

3 & 4) Don't know. You experience your subconscious, so what you expect to be true is what you will experience to be true. There are many related topics and guides in the dream control sections. So the motorcycle floated, which is good and which shows that you can already manipulate your experience by believing in it. But better dream control will come with time and practice (if so desired), don't be so hard on yourself in the first few experiences, go easy about it and enjoy the fact that you were at least able to make it float by using your intent.

5) I don't think it's the actual clock time, it's more the timing. If you went to bed consistently at 2 am for a long period, then your subconscious behavior may be used to the fact that you dream at specific clock times. Adjusting the sleep cycle can then be used to trigger lucidity, the method is called Cycle Adjustment Technique (CAT).

I hope this helps, keep it up

I can only comment on no.2 really as it happens to me very often.

If I get a lucid dream, I'm very likely to become lucid in any other dreams afterwards almost instantly. Sometimes the dream will outright tell me it's a dream; I once begun a dream (after a lucid and waking) and a message came into my vision saying "Lucid dream" and there was an alarm. While I could be wrong I feel that once I get a lucid, my mind is suddenly very tuned for it for the rest of the sleep session and will adapt to more dreams after very quickly.

Last night I had 3 or 4 lucid dreams, after the first the rest were lucid from the onset. Sounds similar to what you got, I don't know if this is common for people or not.

First of all, congratulations. Now then, your questions:
1.DILD
2.You used a WILD there. Again, congratulations
3. and 4.Like the art of lucid dreaming itself, dream control takes practice. When I first started out, I could barely fight my id. Now I can conjure up rocks and make them fly into my hand. (my personal stabilizing technique.)
5. Yes, it relies on your personal sleep cycles. Specifically, the rem stage.
