Thread: Newbie Here (intro)

Hello everyone on DV,

Ive been roaming this site for bout a month now and ive learned so much from every single one of you and ive had a couple lucids since ive came across DV.
I just want everyone to know im new to this shit and you'll see me now and then asking alot of questions n maybe jot down some of my own dreams ive been having... for all i know this forum seems very friendly and I hope I can get the help I need to become a master dreamer and soon to be able to help others like me also

ive had two lucid dreams that I know of recently, first of all the feeling of becoming lucid is unbelievable! its the strangest feeling ive been trying so hard ever since my last one because it only lasted seconds and I had one last night; Im just going to write abit bout my dream and let it go from there. ( english is not my 1st language and my grammar might not be so good so bear with me)

Last night I laid in bed thinking I wanna be Lucid so bad! and I remembered a trick from someone on DV I read earlier that day; count down from a hundred and repeat till you fall asleep at the same time thinking bout becoming lucid and using mantras.
So I laid in bed counting and hoping I will become lucid I counted down from a hundred twice now, I was thinking to myself "this is not gonna work :/" but I was a lil' bit tired so I thought let me just do it one more time... so I counted down n I got to about 20 and I stopped and was like "fuck this, it aint working" and bam! I had a hunch I was asleep already so I did an RC which was to pinch my nose and try to breath and it worked! I was so surprised laying there in my bed I thought let me try another one I put my finger in the centre of my palm and thought "if my finger goes through I think I might crap myself" I did it! and it was so real I felt the bones inside my hand move to the sides as I put it through, I was so shocked I got out of bed and stood in my room again thinking (its weird how clear you can think while dreaming) I'm abit scared that I will be walking around the house for real while sleeping but fuck it so I walked towards my door it was really dark I opened the door and suddenly on the other side there was like sunlight throughout the corridor and then I got even more surprised and woke up.

laying in my bed again thinking "damn!" I tried and RC again (nose one) and it worked! I was like "woaaa! im in a false awakening i've heard so much bout these i cant believe it feels so real" so I stood up again and walked towards my computer which is in front of a window that leads to the road outside, as I was walking I thought im not gonna stop im just gonna walk through and it happened I walked right throught my computer and wall and was in the road outside my home and then I woke up.

I tried the same RC again and it worked!!!!! it was false again; this time I wasted no time I jumped up and ran head-first towards my computer and smashed through like some Hulk and it was the best weather ever outside! I felt so powerful I then walked up my road to the main road where I was hoping to find some DC's to ask some very important questions i've been wanting to ask ( about myself and who they are and just study my DC's) but soon as I made it to the main road I saw everyone was wearing a suite everyone the same with masks, or something but I couldn't see their faces it was like shadowed... and I was just staring at them, they didn't notice me till a thought came into my mind bout asking them questions and everything and everyone stopped and turned my way they kept looking at me I felt like they wanted to hurt me I just had this feeling inside and I looked at one guy and said "who are you?" and everyone that was there took off there mask n revealed themselves and they was all me! my jaw dropped I was in shock and then soon as that happend they came towards me really fast and I woke up.

Laying in my bed again and did the same RC and nothing happend it was reality... that was the most intense thing ever my mind was exploding with all that information and knowledge coming into my mind.

Wow I wrote quite alot, thanks for taking your time to read this I hope i've entertained all of you with my dream story. Looking forward to having many more and making some new friends on the way on DV and in my dreams, any comments or anything will be appreciated

Welcome to dream views! Yes we are a very friendly community and I'm sure you'll be a master dreamer in no time. We shall train you!

Thanks for the greetin' Oreo, (btw OREO'S ARE THE BEST THING EVER!!!!)
and im here to train n learn so gimme all you got

TRAINING STARTS NOW!!! Drop and give me 20 LDs! Nah just kidding lol. You should have a lot of luck with tutorials or just asking questions though.

hahaha, i have read alot of tutorials and it has helped now i need help with people analysing with me and point me in the right direction..
on another note: can anyone explain why everyone in my lucid was "me" and why they tried fuckin me up??

I'm not into dream interpretation that much, but I'll give it a shot. You were wanting to learn more about yourself, so your mind created more of you. The reason they were chasing youmight have been because you expected them to hurt you. If you're really concerned about your dream, you should ask about it here: Dream Interpretation

That is an awesome dream. Most of the time I read people's dreams and it's kinda like 'meh...', but that was genuinely interesting. I think I'll have to give that counting trick a try...

I see the point where you mean my mind projected more of me because I wanted to learn bout myself but I had no intention of hurting myself, I was expecting to talk and learn from my DC's n the feeling i got when they were looking at me was that they didn't want me lurking around n asking questions :S

thanks man, yeah you should give it a try it might help...
now I do this every night because it helps me fall asleep also even when I don't become lucid

Lol your subconscience doesn't like questions? Kind of reminds me of someone who tried to control time in there dream, but aliens came and told him not to mess with time.

haha not that my subconscience doesn't like questions but like I think that there's alot on my mind right now because of how my life is going, I want to explore my inner thoughts and see what I discover and my subconscience is trying to lock some things away...
is this possible? can my subconscience keep things away from me?

I think it is possible that your subconscience could be keeping things locked up. I'm not really sure if the subconscience can really have a motive though...

I suggest you learn to shoot fireballs in case you need to fight your subconscience on your way to inner thoughts.

haha yeah but I've never thought bout doing something like that because while I was Lucid it was so real that I couldn't really believe it!
hopefully next time I'll try some shit like that

Wow, what a great dream. Good job catching all of those false awakenings. I probably would have been fooled by the second one, and started writing in my imaginary dream journal. Then I would have woken up an hour later with nothing in my real journal, and a missed opportunity. I hate when that happens

lol yeah that would have sucked!
but I've made it like engraved into my routine check every time I wake up

I'm sure everyone here will be willing to help. I can offer some advice too but I may not have all of the answers (I KNOW a lot about lucid dreaming but theory and putting plans into action are two seperate concepts). Anyway, some tips:

First, don't ever expect that something won't work, because then it won't.
And also, I'm not a hundred percent sure (I can't remember the exact reason right now) but your body prevents you from acting out your dreams. If anyone knows why and can explain that better, please do

Welcome to DV

Welcome to DV

The thing that you are referring to is sleep paralysis. Its a natural thing that your brain does at night to keep you from acting out your dream. There is a link in my signature to a wiki article i posted about it.

2 LD's already? Thats impressing. Im sure that this has be en mentioned before but im going to say it again. Read the tutorials in the wiki. They were written by many awesome people .

Good luck. If you need help just message me or any other amazing member on this forum for help.

oh thanks for the info guys this really helps I haven't been able to try any lucids lately I've been out partyin too hard maybe soon il be on track and make a Dream Journal too

Welcome to DV! (a bit late but oh well) If you have any questions, feel free to ask .

ShockWave.
