New dream after your advice

Ok so I joined this site yesterday, never lurked, just found and joined right in, I read some tips in the newbie part and so e people responded which I found very welcoming.
Last night I go to bed and close my eyes telling myself I will remember my dream, anyway the next thing is, I,m in a discussion with 2 colleagues at work, discussing IT, the surroundings were unfamiliar and I felt weird, at this point I thought, I may be dreaming, so I jumped into the air and gravity was not normal, I did it again and did the matrix pose lol. So I realize I,m dreaming and now it is a lucid dream. I remember this site and the tips so as i' following my colleagues to I bump into another guy on the way, I say to him, watch this, I go over to a fire on the ground, place my hand in it and pull out fire, no pain, he just smiles. I then continue walking and put my finger and thumb in my nostrils and blow out and breath in, all good, I begin to get excited at this point, I didn' t take the advicemon that one though as the next thing to happen was me waking up disappointed at doing so, so I wanted to thank you guys and this site for giving me some huge help in LD, I started a journal and will go again tonight, any more tips and advice would be greatly appreciated, peace.

Thats pretty much my first dream as well. I suddenly thought "Hey, this is a dream", did some reality checks without even thinking of them, they worked, I jumped up and sort of glided back for a brief second longer than normal, then I jumped out a window and lost my lucidity as I didn't stabilize. I woke up not as excited as I thought I would be, but still happy.

After reading your post the only things I can say are well done, your's seemed quite good, and to just keep it up really. Maybe put more focus on stabilization over what to do in a dream. I think that once it's stable, we won't have to much trouble thinking of stuff to do.

Make stabilization a priority along with R.C.s and whatever else you do, and you should be fine.

Welcome to dreamviews! Great lucid dream, I'm so glad the tips helped you! If you have any questions feel free to message me :)

Awesome lucid dream! I really wanna try something with fire in my next one.

I definitely agree with stabilizing part, it wasn't my first LD but it was the first time I had put some tips and advice into practice, so I was very eager to say thank you. I guess it was the first time that I had remembered something from my awake state and put it into practice while dreaming, it really amazed me. The people in my dream never responded like I expected either, before I found myself trying to prove it was my dream, this time everyone just had a grin, so I think maybe I had more confidence after some advice and tips. I can't wait to do more and share. Great site. Thanks
