First Lucid Dream

I had my very first Lucid Dream. It has been some time since I posted, after some failed WILD techniques I gave up. I was asleep, and had no thoughts about dreaming the day before. A dream began, as I remember, with my mum and I in a shop and everything started slowing down. People's voices, movements, everything but me. Then some kind of evil smiling face came around a corner, slowly and steadily. My heart rate rose, and I woke myself out of that situation.

I was now lying in bed, and I remembered something I hadn't thought about for some time. Lucid dreams. I laid back and slept.

This time, I was in my bed, and somehow remembered my thoughts when awake. I did the nose plug RC and quickly a buzz went through my body. I felt excited, then remembered what I read about getting overexcited, so I calmed myself, stood up and spun around. It was dark in my room, but my first thought was to go outside. And I mean't OUTSIDE. I opened my door, but instead of my hall, I was outside my house. People walked by, some people were biking but I think I slowly lost lucidity from there.

Any tips on continuous lucidity? I think I was just a bit too excited and distracted by the things around me.

Congrats! I read that "spinning" around in your dream is a good technique to keep focused. Also touching things and exploring.

I'm so excited to have my first LD , I think even too excited. Like you said, it happened after you let your mind off the topic. Might try that :P

Read in Wiki Tutorials about Dream Control and Stabilization, That will help :lol:

Hey Pickle,

Congrats on your first lucid!!! I recommend you read this tutorial in the wiki. Good job on calming down and spinning around! Keep it up! :)

congrats! spinning is usually used when you feel the dream is about to end and to generate a new dream scene. you must be careful not to lose lucidity when you 'wake up' in the new scene though.
