Thread: first "real" LD!!!

Hello everyone. I just had my first 'real' lucid dream last night! I have had a lot of nightmares...but they ALL stopped that i remember in the last month. Probably because for a few months I was feeling kind of depressed...because we just moved out of state and I didn't have any friends for a few months. But I have been feeling really happy the last month, and I haven't been scared of having nightmares like I used too. Another reason I am sure of...before when I was having nightmares, I was really trying to have an LD...I would repeat mantras, do RC throughout the day, WILD, etc. So when I was repeating mantras in bed I couldn't help thinking of nightmare. I would think "what if this happened..." And then I would dream the nightmare I thought of. So the past month I just listen to music or play a game on my mp3 player until I start dozing off, and then I turn it off and fall asleep right away....even fallen asleeping listening to music. So that way I forget any bad thoughts and then fall asleep before I have time to think of any....


K, done with the long wordy part.... now for the LD!

well anyway... When I had my LD, I had a really wierd long dream...I was at my friends farm, then I was somewhere else, and then it was in the last part. We(me and some other lazy people) were in this building. We were at the end of a hall, where their was a bedroom, and a kitchen I think. Ok, so the entrance to the hall from where we were had two sliding doors that you close and then lock each one to the other. There were monsters/aliens down the hall from where we were, and the sliding doors were open. I knew some would come soon, because they came earlier and busted the doors open. So I had to walk over their and close and lock the doors. It was dark, and I was kind of afraid. About equal to if: Your front door was open wide, you were 20 feet away(inside), and you knew that their was a killer bear within a hundred feet of the house. You are not "nightmare" scared(like a bear chasing you), and you know that you half to close and lock the door, but the lock is broken so you half to take the time to put on a new lock. That's about what it was like in my dream....but I wasn't that scared. All of a sudded when I was trying to shut the doors, I saw a 2D image over my 3D sight. It was wierd...I saw what looked like a suduku puzzle that was 2D and took up all of my sight, but I could see right through it. I remember their was an 8 in each corner box. I just suddenly knew that I was dreaming. The 2D image dissapeared(i forgot about it so it dissapeared). I suddenly felt all tingly and excited, and my vision blurred, and I woke up 5 seconds later. In the five seconds I had, I am mad I chose to do that. I knew I was waking up, so I wondered what dream sex was like....so I grabed a ladys in the dream, pulled her quickly into the bedroom and asked here to get undressed, she did, and i found myself undressed...just as we were about to have sex I woke up.

It's normal for new LDers to feel tingly and excited, right? It stinks that I didn't think of spinning or rubbing my hands together... I wonder If I even could of stayed in the dream, because I woke up from the 5-seconds LD at 8:15AM, and I usually wake up at 7:30AM automatically. Strange...

I have had a few lucid dreams in nightmares but woke myself up the second I was lucid, so I don't count those as real lucid dreams...

Thanks for reading my reallly long post if you read this
