Thread: Not sure if I had my first Lucid Dream - Help

I got to know about lucid dreaming 2 days ago. I thought I had dreamless nights. But after some reality checks & exercises, I realised that I do get a lot of dreams which I never used 2 remember. The day i read about lucid dreaming itself I got about 2 dreams in the 1 hr nap i had and also about 3 dreams in the night, though I was able to recall only bits and parts of the dreams (This was 2 days ago). And yesterday I got something which I feel was a lucid dream. I was sleeping in my very own bed, but since the position was very awkward I felt I need to do a reality check, and I realised I was dreaming. But I hardly had any control on anything once I realised I was dreaming. The environmental & surrounding detail started fading. I tried spinning which made it a little more clear but my surroundings faded again in within the next few secs even before I could spin. The dream was over. I do not remember if I woke up from the dream or not. Was this was my first lucid dream, or was I just dreaming that I had a lucid dream. Please guide me regarding how I need to proceed. Thanks in advance.

YAY! YOU WERE LUCID!!!!!!

yeah you were lucid haha, its a low lucid dream (theres a technical term i have no idea what its called)

sometimes even after you realize you are dreaming, you cant controll anything at all, dont feel bad it gets easier from here on out (so everyone says)

i have only had one LD therefore am not an expert

Proceeding from here just do what you have been doing, and strengthen your skills, with practice you will gain dream control, and be able to be lucid for longer. Just like anythign else, practice makes perfect.

again congrats

Thanks thats great news.... motivates me 2 try further 2 have more n more lucid dreams now ... yippee.... three cheers 4 myself
