Hey :) I'm Chelsea...first LD!

[Chelsea904]

Hello and good morning Just a quick introduction, my name is Chelsea (obviously) and I've been interested in lucid dreaming for a few years now although I've never attained lucidity. Until last night!! It was completely random; a DILD. Basically I drove to an area I didn't know then parked and walked to a house. When I got there I wanted to go back and get my car so I could bring it up and park it outside. I tried to think about where I'd left my car and my mind was blank. Then I thought to myself "hang on, how did I get here?" and for the life of me I couldn't picture how I'd ended up in this area. Then I realised I was dreaming. The words "oh my God, I'm dreaming!" actually left my mouth. I then walked over to a brick wall and touched it, making me overly excited, which in turn made the dream go blurry and then I was randomly walking down another street, apparently unaware I was dreaming. Damn. But anyway, I'm happy I did it and now I want to do it more often! Can't wait to learn more about this. So yeah, that's me, I ramble. Looking forward to speaking with you all and getting involved.

Congratulations on your DILD!!! Hey Chelsea, it's always great when you have a random LD which spurs you on again, so thats awesome! keep it up, can't wait to hear more about any crazy, lucid adventures. Best of luck!

Thank you so much! I'm really excited to get started with my DJ and induction techniques. I'll definitely post about my progress.

Hey Chelsea, welcome to DV! Glad to hear about your first LD, they're the best! But they get better and more controllable as you have more LD's. Just keep doing reality checks and you'll have lots more lucid dreams soon! ***Edited by melanieb for link***

Hey, Chelsea, welcome to the forum! My first Lucid Dream was three years ago, but I still remember it like it was yesterday. I didn't do much in my first one either, but they get longer with experience. Good luck with your techniques and your dream journal. Again, welcome to Dreamviews!

Your first lucid is usually the one that you remember most (and the most fascinating one in my case). Welcome to the forum and enjoy the community

Thank you all so much I woke up in the middle of the night for a drink and when I went back to bed, I attempted WBTB. I got close a couple of times, my body got heavy and I heard weird things but I kept getting excited and then I must have just passed out. I'm just going to do my dream journal and reality checks for a while so I can get used to questioning my surroundings and recalling my dreams.

I find it impossible to get an early night of sleep (stayallnightontheinternetsyndrome < lol) so when I wake up, it's like 7am and everyones dogs are barking and kids screaming their heads off, how long was you asleep when you done this?
