Hey. I haven't had a lucid for nearly 2 months, and I was starting to get extremely pissed. I would listen to lucid mp3's every night, do reality checks, and read the forums alot before I went to sleep. So last night I tried to put on an mp3 to listen to as I slept, but my ipod died. so instead i went to sleep without an ipod, thinking i wouldn't have a lucid...

in the morning I was in a dream where I was in a shack in a jungle in Africa. All of a sudden I realized, "wtf am i doing in africa!?". I didn't believe I was dreaming, so I did the nose pinching RC and it worked. Man, what a great feeling it was. The first thing I tried to do was spawn a dagger, and for the first time it worked! I went outside, and just for fun, decided to stab this random guy with it Next I tried to teleport to greece by spinning, but unforunately it didn't work. Then I remember I fell to the floor and slowly woke up

there were a couple of factors that were different that night which may have increased my chances of having an LD.

1)I wasn't worried/preoccupied about school like I have been lately since I didn't have any hw/tests.

2)I went to bed earlier than usual

3)I didn't listen to any lucid mp3's

4)I masturbated before going to bed... lol (this was the same scenario for another one of my lucids)

idk why this strange and unlikely combo got me a lucid dream, but im gonna try it again tonight
