Thread: Hello DV! This is my first LD - How do I go further?

Hello DV!

I had my first lucid dream last night and I have to say that it was pretty amazing. Words can't really describe it... it's like discovering a whole new world and it felt like I was told that Hogwarts exists. People who refuse to LD is missing out.

The moment I knew it was finally gonna happen was when my bed started shaking as if it was an earthquake. The next thing I knew, I was in my own bed in the same position and staring at the same side. I thought waking up back in my own house was pretty boring so I tried to alter my scene but I couldn't no matter how I tried. I also tried to fly by jumping on my bed, or off the chair. It was extremely vivid but when I tried to leave the house, I lost control of my dream (could feel my bed and hear the mp3). The next thing I knew, I was back in my house on my mac. But when again, I realised I was dreaming, I lost control and woke up.

How can I alter my dream?
Why do I lose control of my dream when I want to leave the house?
And if I jumped off my building, what would happen?
