I was being chased around my parents' house by someone who wanted to kill me. I realized I was dreaming and closed my eyes and told myself to wake up. I was probably in junior high at the time. - Years ago I heard of lucid dreaming and wanted to try it myself. The first time I was able to induce a lucid dream was through DILD. But I remember being so scared because of having very little control, I never tried it again. - My most common lucid dreams are either triggered by sleep paralysis or false awakenings. - Saturday is my best day for recall. I usually wake up early because of my weekday routine, and then go back to bed and remember my dreams when I wake up naturally. - Started a dream journal, couldn't remember any of my dreams since I started it, until Saturday came around. I woke up and remembered music from a dream, wrote it down in my journal, then went back to bed and woke up remembering three dreams. - 02/23/2014 First MILD - 03/10/2014 Second MILD, achieved dream plan of flying, talked to a dream character, attempted task of the month - 03/28/2014 Third MILD, achieved dream plan of talking to a DC in Japanese - 05/20/2014 Fourth MILD, achieved dream plan of telekinesis, accomplished task of the month - 07/05/2014 Second WILD, first time a WILD has been exciting and pleasant for me as opposed to scary from lack of control - 07/18/2014 DILD, achieved dream plan of going to my mother-in-law's in Japan, lost lucidity at my mother-in-law's Current Techniques: - MILD after WBTB - WILD
