[POSTED Nov 15 2015]
Good morning everyone! Big night.
I did it, a lucid dream. I'm shocked, but extremely happy right now that I could get one within my first week of trying.
I'm still trying to let it settle in, absorb every detail, make use of and enjoy the memory at the same time. Here's how it went down.
The day before was the day I was most naturally aware with my ADA practice. As in I didn't have to focus on being aware as much. Throughout the day I would do RCs, and repeat the mantras "I remember my dreams in the morning." and, "I have lucid dreams." While really trying to believe them. That night I repeated the same mantras constantly before falling asleep. I had a natural awakening about 5 hours later and couldn't go back to sleep for almost 45 mins. In this time I did the mantras, and periodic RCs. Sooner or later I must have felt something was off, so instinctively doing the nose pinch RC I realized I could breath through my nose still! I didn't even have time to be excited through the simple shock I experienced. I had to do it once more just to prove to myself this was really happening.
Here is an account of what happened, taken directly from my dream journal:
I woke up in bed, something must of felt off because I RC'd (nose) and I could breath through my nose! I was so shocked I did it again, and it worked again. Suddenly a short woman appeared and said "hello" and other things. She was very friendly. She told me to put on my glasses and look up. When I put them (the glasses) on my dream became super vivid, and my ceiling was covered in stars (breath taking). I asked her "so this is what it feels like to be lucid" and she nodded. Scene change from room to my porch outside.Short woman tells me she needs a harp, I try to make one appear but fail. I get bored of her request and make a massive wood structure (rectangular prism) my making a small tornado out of the leafs on the ground. I try to carve it into Obama with just my mind (not sure why Obama) and it looked more like Mr.Bean in a space suit. I continue messing with wood structures, short woman is saying stuff but I'm not listening. I decided to walk around the yard. It was like real life, visually, still felt off somehow. Eventually I could fell myself loosing lucidity, and had it completely torn away, almost by force, by short lady (or maybe someone else, not entirely sure). It went into a dream that was like a burger advertisement and then I woke up
The whole lucid part of the dream must have lasted 7-10 mins. I didn't really do much in the dream (I was more guided by a DC on what to do). I'v been so focused on getting a lucid dream that I never really got it in concrete of what I actually wanted to do. I think my subconscious knew that which is why that dream had my little guide in it.
I'm ecstatic, and a little in awe right now. This was a new experience for me, and it came completely out of left field. Heck a part of me can barley believe it.
I'm going to continue what I'v been doing and see what happens.
