Thread: How long did it take you to have your first LD?

Today I took a nap and when I was, I felt my conscience slipping and even though I was lying on my bed, I felt like all distorted and as if I was walking and standing up with some kind of sheet over me even though I felt I was on my bed. it was so realistic and I felt like I could summon someone, so I tried to summon a girls hands and I felt like I could hodl it breifly before it faded away and I woke up? What does this mean?

2012 and still trying to, wooooh!

Any tips on how to make a persistent dream world? That is something I really want to do

Quite a few months, actually. But it's my most memorable. It didn't last long so I didn't get to do much, but the rush of excitement I felt when I woke up made it amazing.

Took me 15 days, started 31.7 and had 13 LDs since then.

I began lucid dreaming around 4 or 5 years old, having no idea what it was. At about 15 or 16 I started having trouble remembering dreams in general & only in the recent years do I remember them. My first notable recent lucid dreaming experience was about a year ago, when I was 19. Since then I've lucid dreamed maybe 2 or 3 more times(=

I had two dreams with the same guy in it a few weeks ago. The first he was a stranger waiting for septa with my little sister & I inform of an open field in broad daylight. My sister commented about his appearance saying he didn't look like a person but I declined noticing it was just a Boyle on his face. The night following he was in my dreams again. I was in a dark room at night with a twin sized bed to the left of me(white covers with a dark cover sprawled out) & I was crying a lot & hyperventilating & the lights in the room were out, but there was a single candle towards the back center if the room that lit everything up pretty well. Suddenly the man from my previous dream appeared in front of me & wrapped his shoulders around me hugging me. He rubbed my middle back as he pulled my head into his chest & spoke something quietly but I couldn't make out what he was saying because of my crying.

This probably isn't the kinda of dreams you're looking for but I believe he was in it again because before I fell asleep I thought about the guy & wondered about the situation. A quick conscious thought that poured into my dreams I suppose.

Hope this helps a bit(:

Kamenriderbaron, I haven't made any persistent realms in my near 100 intentional lucids (nor any of the others when I was decades younger as a juvenile). However I would think the best approach would be visualization. Start with some place simple or some real place you know (also simple) and then visualize it every time you go to sleep. And also set it as a prospective memory recall goal every time you see an RC trigger in day work. So you see a cat in real life, count your fingers (or what ever RC) and visualize moving thru the same scape, that you visualized several to many times every time you go to sleep. Use the assume an uncomfortable position technique when going to sleep so that you can get thru the whole scene/scape/complex what-have-you, only then relax and go to sleep after the third plus time. Then when you become lucid you will likely remember from all the prospective memory training on your RCs to attempt to find the place, use the around the corner / eye aversion / or door techniques to initially enter the place. Of course since you seem H-ll bent on WILD if you visualize on WBTB maybe you'll just pop into the place and not have to enter.

later on you can add stuff to each room once you have some success like an armory with light sabers, or a Summer Glau, terminator robot factory room, etc
