Thread: My First LD

You did it! Great! I always know I am dreaming when the dream starts as well. I hope your LDs are like this more.

Happy LDing ,

Yume

Congratulations.. may you have many more!

From what you wrote (and what I understood) you seemed to be half-lucid.

However, I hope now with your first LD you became addicted like us

Congratulations

Awesome Coolbot4k

Isn't that the truth. This is why it is so difficult to explain an LD to someone who has not had one.
And you will find that your mind is capable of any kind of magic you allow it to.

Yea, that's true. I always hear people saying "So what...you try so hard...just only to control your dreams? I just stay to my NDs and I am happy". So now how can you explain to such a person what's the actual difference. huh?

Thanks everyone! I feel much more motivated to try to have a other LD
though SweetMelancholy whats the diffrence between a Half LD and a Full LD?

If you know you are dreaming, then you are lucid. However some lucids can be very realistic and you will have alot of control, whereas other lucids may be blurry and you won't have much control. I think there are degress of lucidity, but I don't think they can be described as "half" or "full" lucid.

I agree with you aquanina on that. There are so many levels of lucidity and so many other variable to take into account half and full just does not do it justice.

Oddly enough when you say very realistic you mean vivid and a high level of lucidity, correct?
I have had a few lucid dreams that were TOO clear to the point I could not differentate the waking world from me being in a dream. So in a sense they were realistic to the point that they had no dream signs.

Hey Coolbot4k - congrats on your first LD! (ah, there's nothing like that first time....)

While some would say this is all part of learning dream control I think it is also due to your confidence in your dream. As corny and PeterPan-ish this may sound, I think it all comes down to how strongly you believe it to happen.

You might have gotten excited about the fact that you were moving objects which "distracted" you to the fact that you were in a dreamworld where you could do anything you wished.

Good luck next time!
