Hey there! first I suppose I should tell a little about my self and my experience with lucid dreaming.

I'm an 18 year old boy. I kinda randomly stumbled upon lucid dreaming through a lot of coincidences (I don't believe in faith, but damn?!). I'm really excited about lucid dreaming both for the sake of exploring a new and amazing world and for the sake of personal development.
As I wrote in my other thread I have had problems with consistency in pretty much all aspects. I'm not really good at working hard since I've never really had to work hard to accomplish anything before... guess I'll just have to learn!


My progress so far:

I think I'm getting pretty good at really questioning wether I'm dreaming or not whenever I reality check. I will usually do a couple different reality checks and then I will try to remember what I have recently been doing and basically ask myself if I'm dreaming while looking around for weird stuff. I do reality checks whenever I feel like somethings out of the usual but my awareness is pretty lacking so I only notice unusual stuff a couple of times per day.

My sleeping pattern has improved a bit but still sucks. I have tendencys to stay on the computer all night even though I have to get up 06:15 in the morning.

I would really like to get into the habbit of meditating but I don't know where to start. I have taken a look at Sivason's Dream Yoga but it's a bit overwhelming for me at the moment.

So far I haven't had a lucid dream but my dream recall has increased around 60x or something which is pretty awesome by itself.
I feel that my dreams have given me a pretty good peak into the lucid dream world that I have never felt before due to my bad dream recall.
The first thing I learned was nn my first night with a dream journal when I had a very vivid nightmare. The fear felt increadibly real and affected me a lot. It really gave me a sneak peak at how real dreams can get.
The second thing was a lesson in dream control. I was playing handball in my dream a couple of nights ago. I haven't played for over a year so I suddenly remembered I was in surprisingly good shape... BAM! instantly got tired to the point where I could hardly run anymore.
The third and last thing my dreams have taught me so far was actually this night. I was playing handball again and I jumped from the left wing to shoot but I didn't feel like my jump was good enough. So I imagined Anders Eggert (left wing from the Danish national team) jump and I kinda saw it in slowmotion and could analyze his jump in my head and apply it to my own jump. If I was still playing handball I would really like to test if this could actually help me irl. It was an interesting experience.

... So I wrote a wall of text afterall... Guess I had a lot on my mind after 17 days of experience
If there is anything else you wanna know just ask!
