Wow! The second LD in less than a week. I’m so glad I found this site with all its tricks and tecniques. What seems to be working for me, is to fall asleep using a mantra that I will question my reality. I was a little sceptical that the idea would cross over or that I would “remember” to do it…but it works. I don’t seem to do any reality checks (like plugging your nose or counting your fingers). As soon as I think “Hmm this seems odd”….Bam! I know it’s a dream. A tell-tale dream sign for me is gravity. It doesn’t seem “right”. Not as heavy or strong. My connection to the ground is somewhat weak. I’m getting over the excitement that used to cause me to wake up right away and this last time I actually remembered to tell myself to stabilize and anchor to the dream. This is hard to explain but somehow I seem to be equating the “ground” to my waking conciousness. In this last dream I became aware I was dreaming and took off for a prolonged and very controlled flight. After a while I thought “now I should try and do something else”. I thought I’d go down and find some people. I soon as I started to descend, I knew I was waking up and try as I might, I just couldn’t reverse it or stay up. I’ve never actually made it back to the ground and still been asleep. In the past, I’ve just spontaneously started to lose altitude but this time I felt I could have stayed up forever if I hadn’t made the decision to land. What a drag! I know there are folks who’ve been trying and trying and never gotten this far yet. Maybe I’m just being greedy….but I want more!
