it has been a while since i tried to lucid dream and last night i decided to try again. for about an hour before i went to bed i was researching induction techniques and the one that seemed most practical to me was DILD and WILD using eyelid patterns. that night i went to bed watching the patterns "on the back of my eyelid" and soon i found myself in my parents bedroom trying on a new pair of shoes. for some reason i felt that i had 4 legs and only 2 shoes! after a "while" trying to find my other 2 shoes i realized that it couldnt be reality, so i said to myself, i must be dreaming! sure enough i was back to having 2 legs and since ive always been fascinated by what it would be like to look into a mirror in a lucid dream, i walked to the bathroom and looked at myself. oddly enough my face was that of my little cousins, he is 9. the next thing i remember is trying to jump out of the window (maybe to fly) and waking up.. can anybody maybe interpret that, or tell me what i could have done to stay lucid?
