Sharing some progress:)

[grischkaja008]

Hi everyone! Like the title says, I made last night some progress! I just wanted to share because I'm so happy that I made some progress (even when they are just babysteps). I also want to thank you all for this amazing site which helped me a lot And thanks to everyone who read this message, 'cause it's a bit long Last night, before I went to bed, I read a sciencefiction book until I got sleepy. While reading, I imagined my self in the story and what I personally would do and at which moments I would do a RC. Before I finally went to bed I pluged my nose and it showed me that I was not dreaming (obviously). So I tried DILD. It took me long to fall asleep because I was too focused on my mantra, but my last thought before I started to dream was: Next time I dream, I will know that I'm dreaming. My dream started. Nothing was very different from real life. I was at home, did some allday stuff (cleaning the kitchen, working on my novel, etc.) But suddently I was outside in some landscape. I wondered how I came there and did a RC: I pluged my nose. That's the first time I did a RC in a dream^^ And it was showing that I was dreaming! I got a bit excited and than completly amazed. But I did a mistake. I ask myself: Did I really do my RC in the right way? So I did the RC another time. This time it showed me that I was not dreaming. I got more and more unsure about my dream so I performed for the third time my RC and it said again that I'm not dreaming. So I was convinced that this was reality The rest of my dream didn't make any sense: I dreamed of sandwiches I woke up, did several RC which showed me that I wasn't dreaming. I got a bit angry about myself and wrote my dream in my DJ. I went back to bed and thought: Let's try WILD. And for the first time ever I got into stage 3 and was close to enter SP. But I did a mistake: while in stage 3, I had the feeling that i was flipped up side down and that the room began to spin. But actually I turned myself slowly without knowing it. When I realized that I was moving, I went directly to stage 1... That's everything Feel free to post some suggestions what I could do better

Very cool :-) even if you do not get it right, it feels great to get your foot in the door, huh? How long have you gbeen practicing lucid techniques for?

[grischkaja008]

I started to read about lucid dreaming last year but I only started with my DJ and techniques after some random lucid dreams which happened to me a month ago

[grischkaja008]

And after another week of trying, I made some other progress: My dreams are now much more vivid and clear. Last night in some confusing dream ( I was in a restaurant eating salad, I met at the same time my old math-teacher who talked to his husband like a baby )i wanted to do another RC (nose plug) but I didn't performed it, because I couldn't do it discretely Does anyone knows some other RC which can be performed in hidden manner?

a more discreet one is watch checking, look at the time on your watch. does it match the sunlight? are the seconds remaining constant? then turn it away from you, wait a few seconds then look at it again to see if it majourely changed.
