Thread: Trying to have Lucid Dreams for 10 months...

Hi all

I think I tried to lucid dream 10 / 7 month's ago...(With pauses 12 weeks or something..)
I only tried DILD I do these reality checks: Looking at your hands and counting the fingers 2 times. Looking to Digital clock and looking away if it's the same. Asking during the day if I am dreaming. Looking at a text looking away and read it again.
Reality checks a day : 10 / 20

Well NO succes

I was so close... 1 week ago I was in a dream there I was in my room and looked to my hands and it was verry blurry then I said OMG I'm dreaming!!! then everything spinned and the dream ended... I didn't wake up.. I dont think it was a lucid dream I think it was just a dream that I dreamed to be lucid dreaming.

4 Months ago I had this:
I did a reality check in my dream I was on my room sleeping and in my dream I woke up so I did a reality check in that dream... I looked to my clock and everything was normal so I went back to sleep... The next day when I woke-up I was fucking angry... In that dream when I did a reality check there were 2 clocks next to me (a digital and a one with wisers) But in reallife I have only 1 clock a digital clock next to me...

why I still fail???
I started 1.5 week ago again and browsed everyday the forum hope it will work now...
1 week ago I remembered 4 dreams in one night
Now it's 1 per night I think...

I'm going to write down some keywords when I wake up on my iPod touch and then after having a shower i'm going to write it down on my computer the whole dream with all details.
Also is there a good app for making me lucid?
Something like a free app that you hear when sleeping a voice that says " you are dreaming " and then every 15 min while sleeping.
Or is there a free/cracked Timer app that makes a beep every 20min while sleeping? I can try to recognize the beep if I have a dream and become lucid?

All tips are welcome!!!

And does somebody know what this is?

I don't know if this was a sleep paralysis but this happened 4 month's ago.
I was sleeping at my nephew (spell fail?) and we watched Parenamal Activity for 20 min, and he said I can't see this film anymore so we then watched Alien v Predators...
So when AvP finished we were going to sleep.. I really can't get in sleep it was fu annoying... so maybe 2 hours later this happened:
I was lying on my side but watching with my head for me like I see my feet. Then there came a ghost or a verry dark shadow it was maybe 1.5/2m away from me. I felt never so scarred... it came closer and closer.. my sight was getting darker and darker I tried to move but nothing happened I tried to screem fucking loud as I can but no sound... when the shadow / dark figure was about 0.50m away from me and I almost saw nothing maybe 5% off the normal view and then there something happened and EVERYTHING was back normal my heartbeath was fucking high... It was just total terror maybe 3/4 hours later I fell in sleep finally...
