Thread: First Attempt At Recall. On The Verge Of LD?

My first attempt at recalling my dreams was quite successful! I recalled 2 different fragments as well as remembering hearing many voices and even being able to identify 2 of them!

I felt myself fall under sleep paralysis, and I think I even stumbled upon a small LD experience

So I fell asleep today repeating my mantra "I will remember my dreams" and it worked really well, i actually felt myself fall under sleep paralysis and i experienced some things that i would attribute to SP (traveling body tremors, voices and a deep loud tone descending in pitch). All the while still conscious and repeating my mantra.

This is the cool part.

Out of the blackness, a shot of webbing comes flying at my face! I distinctly remember "turning my head" to look over to find spiderman fighting venom in what looked like a bank. Now i say its the cool part because up until then i was only experiencing the SP but when the web shot across, i remember the feeling of turning my head as if i was in the actual world. This was the only movement i was able to preform. i only watched the battle for a few seconds, maybe a minute or two, before i thought to myself "i have to remember this" i think this distracted me out of the dream and brought me back to my physical body. i recalled what i could and jotted it down in my DJ.

I was able to recall one more fragment, but this was the most exciting moment of the night.

So what do you guys think? Did i experience lucidity in that moment when i turned my head to look? there were times when i was consciously thinking of trying to move, but i couldnt tell if i would be moving my "real" body or my dream body so i chose not to move in case it would shoot me out of the SP/dream. i also thought about talking, but didnt, for the same reason. should i have tried to move? should i have tried speaking?

The moment i was truly aware i was in a dream, i immediately thought to myself "i have to remember this". and it was at that time, i fell out of the dream. What could i have done differently, instead of repeating my mantra, that might have helped me stay in my dream? even if i wasnt lucid, i would have liked to continue watching the scene.

I now see what a large role my hobbies play in creating my dream world. It figures being a huge comic book reader, that my first 2 recalled dreeam fragments are of spiderman and batman :p
