Yesterday I got my LD kinda

Hello everyone !!

After months of lurking on this forum and reading tons of stories about LD, I finally manage to live that experience. I spent a lot of time reading and watching videos on how to induce lucid dream but never had any luck with it as I would sometimes realise I was dreaming but instantly get too excited and wake up.

BUT, yesterday was different ! As I got a new part time job where I work From 2AM to 6AM and go to college at 8AM, I get like 1hour of Sleep after waking up and going to work in the middle of the night. Turns out this 1 hour of sleep gets me very vivid dreams day after day and yesterday got me a nice lucid dream where I was able to stay in !!

It was really awesome, when I got aware I was dreaming and didn't wake up, the first thing that came to my mind was to fly. But how ? I started thinking about the way I was going to achieve lift off and start flying but after 5 mins of asking myself how lucid dreamers are supposed to fly I just said fuck it and jump while picturing myself going higher and higher and guess what ? It worked !! Well it did until I asked myself how I was going to land and then proceeded to fall and waking up from the fall.

Now, it gets weird, as I woke up, I felt really heavy and couldn't move so I turned my head to look and got the scare of my life as I saw a really dark ( Shadow like ) goblin on top of me. For 10 seconds I tried pushing it off me and scream but nothing. Then suddenly, I woke up again in my bed and got so relieved the goblin wasn't real ( lol ) . So I started getting up, showering and having breakfast, I start hearing this familiar sound but it takes me about 5 seconds to realise it was my phone alarm !!! Turns out the hole time I was not awake for real, it was all a dream !!

I just wanted to share my experience with you guys, where I dreamt of being lucid, waking up to sleep paralysis and having a false awakening all in one. After that, I was still skeptic about being awake for real lol. This was really exciting for me as I would always only remember small parts of a dream and never get lucid.


That's it, I wanted to share my experience with you all and thank everyone on this forum for the awesome dream journals, stories and tutorials on lucid dreaming.

P.S: Sorry for the poor grammar and all, since english isn't my native language.

Oh wow! LD+sleep paralysis+false awakening! Congratulations! When I was young, and lived a night life with totally chaotic sleep pattern, i had some sleep paralysis experiences. It always scared me in the moment. Not afraid from it, just I do not desire it. Now, that I have a (relative) stable sleep shedule, sleep paralysis is very-very rare. I was writing this, because you have a hard changing in your sleeping, and because of this, (I think) you had a paralysis experience.
I am the lazy talent. I know my skills, but I am bad with endurance and patience. I feel many times very stupid because of this. Lucid dreaming is one of the best "hobby's" you can choose. I think, even if you are looking just for the hedonistik stuff, you are one step beyond the "average" mass (I respect te individual, but the mass not). You want to have flying-sex-food adventures? You must work with your self-awareness, memory, and intention...hahaha...peoples want joy and entertainment, and for this they must make exercises that are related with meditation, self-knowing, focus, relaxation etc...monk stuff... :D All things, that make your life better. Maybe I am to optimistic, but I have the feeling: peoples who begin to play with lucid dreaming, step on a path of "deepening" and "rising". They are growing in quality. Be patient and persistent, and know, that you are doing a wonderful thing.

Sorry for my english too.

Sounds like a wild first lucid adventure :) Congratz! It was cool to read about all the different parts. Like Gyalogos said you had a lucid, then you found yourself paralyzed and then a false awakening too! Must have been pretty crazy. If you managed to have an OOBE experience too that would have been the cherry on the top :D
