Thread: Finally...

Hey Dreamviews, I had a lucid dream last night. It wasn't as satisfying as I would have liked it to have been, but w/e. It was my first one since my last post ( a long time ago).

Ummm....as far as I can remember it was a strange dream. I went to sleep really tired. THe first part my body felt really weird. I thought I was one drugs. I think because of the physical sensations I was semi-aware I was dreaming the majority of the dream. The other parts of my dream included my cat turning into a bunch of cats (lol) and missing the bus and running after it or something.

While I was on the sidewalk I realized I was in a dream. Immediately I got to thinking "oh crap I'm finally in a dream I gotta do something." So i thought about what it was I wanted to do when i LD'd (involves finding my 'Dream Remote Control'). So I turned around and tried to imagine a cupboard behind me. THen I closed my eyes and tried to really visualize it. I felt a spinning sensation and figured "good I'm dream spinning to my place" but I never went anywhere. When I opened my eyes I was back in my room. I closed my eyes and went back to sleep.

So, I think it's good that I got a LD. But it's been so long that I started giving up hope. I haven't been writing in my DJ (although i ususally remember a lot of my dreams, but only during the night).

How important is reality checking? I don't really do it that often. Should I? Will that really help my chances of LDing?
