Which brings me to the next thing I need to tell you about! I haven't journaled it yet, but I had a crazy LD chain last night and at the end thanks to your DJ entry I worked up the courage to try the eye closing teleport technique. Even though I didn't succeed at teleporting, I proved to myself that my fear of waking up was all in my head. I'll try to post that dream up soon, but I wanted to thank you for that one!
Hey CL!

I am so proud of you ! Remember the old saying, "If you don't succeed the first time..." This is truly one of my mantras for lucidity. You have already made this a success by proving to your brain that you are the master of your brain, not your brain being the master of you. I am humbled .

I have such a long way to go...I have tried to teleport 100 times and I believe that I finally done it. The problem is that I question myself so much in my dreams. What I am trying to say is that sometimes, I convince myself that yes, it is a dream, but my mind tells me to stay sleep and let the dream continue as a dream (instead of becoming lucid and taking control of the dream). I have to gain so much mental strength while I am dreaming to be able to change buildings, make DC do something, etc. (which I haven't done yet).

I also am confused at why some of the weird things happen that I don't yet have answers to:

1. Why do I hear music (beautiful music or songs that I never heard be) and I can't remember them when I awake?
2. Why did an 'invisible wind/tornado' pull me backwards during one of my WILD's?

There are so many other things, but I will save that for later. If you can answers these things, it would be much appreciated .
