Thread: Yay, an LD!

Well, I finally experienced my first real LD. I don't think I was completely lucid, but its the most awareness I have achieved so far. I slept for 5 hours, and got up at 3:00 am, and stayed up for about 30 minutes. I was attempting a WILD, so when I got back in bed, I closed my eyes and tried to remain conscious, sadly I my thoughts drifted a little and I became unconscious. However, I then woke up in my bed, or so I thought. I looked at my watch once, turned it away, and then looked at it again and noticed the time completely changed. First it said like 5, and it changed to 3 something after a 2nd look. And it changed after a 3rd look too, I even pinched my nose to see If I could still breathe, and I could, which was pretty cool =P. This definately made me realize I was dreaming, so even though I failed at the WILD attempt, I still achieved lucidity through a DILD. After realizing I was dreaming I got up from my bed and left my room to the kitchen. I noticed my dad was there, and so I attempted to make him realize he was in a dream (I guess I must have lost some lucidity since I didn't realize he was a dream character at the time). So first I showed him how the time on my watch changed, then I attempted to move my index finger through the palm of my hand, which I did successfuly(it was pretty cool looking, heh), I think I managed to convince him too. A small part of this dream after that had been lost. However I remember another part of the dream where I had a false awakening, thought I really was awake and freaked my dad out by telling him about the dream and how he had the same one. Then I woke up for real, lol. Anyways, through the part of the dream that I was lucid, everything still wasn't as clear as I thought it would be, so even though I was aware of the fact that I was dreaming, I didn't have a very vivid dream. Also, I didn't really do much either =/. But it was still pretty cool!
