Had a VERY vivid LD last night!

[Volume]

I'm new to this forum as well as LD'ing so please, if you point out any good/bad points in my experience please share them. So, just to give a little background about yesterday and the night that followed... as soon as I got home from work at about 5pm I passed out on my bed (as I was terribly exhausted). I woke up for about 2 hours and went back to sleep around 1am (may be important to note I had an earl grey tea half hour before bed, so caffeine may have played some part). Slept great until I began having a regular (non-lucid) dream. What was special about this dream was that it was very emotional (action, stress, adventure, horror, mystery). I woke up in the middle of the night (assuming so, as I did not so much as sit up let alone check the time). I subconsciously have it beat to my head to lucid dream whenever the opportunity presents itself, so almost instinctively and fully aware, I closed my eyes and began to go back into my dream world (same setting and everything). To induce my LD, I envisioned and recognized my own body laying in bed (from a first person perspective in my mind's eye, and an interesting thing to note is that I envisioned myself wearing what I wore earlier that day) and transferred my physical and mental being into the dream. Once I was in the dreamworld, I was back in the room from the the dream I've been having all night. I made myself run at a big window in the room, jump through the glass, and with both arms in the air superman-style, ascended. I clearly remember seeing cloudy matter speeded past my vision as I raced up higher and higher. I remember my ears (in my physical self) becoming pressurized like that feeling you get taking off in an airplane. I also remember hearing the actual cloudy matter flying past me, kind of like being in a wind tunnel. It was an insane experience... After flying as high as I could, I would find myself either back in the room or awake, but with no problem of re-inducing the LD with pretty much the same method as before. I began to explore all my possibilities in the dream, ranging from normal conversational, to sexual. I found that anything sexual would bring me back into an awakened state a bit more quickly than other things (bummer, huh?). Then, things got scary. The longer I would stay in my LD, I would hear laughter. Evil laughter. I would find myself unable to move and it took all I had in me to shake myself free. I read a little bit about this phenomenon in the past, so taking advice from what I've read, I continued my LDing in a sideways position, not flat on my back (although flat on my back was a little easier to LD). So, that's my report on that. Please do let me know if there are any interests, tips, or concerns you more experienced dreamers may have.

Sounds like you had a lot of LD's and you did DEILD quite a few times. And at the end it sounds like you experienced Sleep Parylysis. Congratulations though and welcome to Dream Views.

The laughter must've been an enjoyable experience.

Hey, well done man, i really do get jealous sometimes of all of you who get really vivid lucid dreams, i'm yet to have a vivid lucid dream which gives me the motivation to continue.
