Thread: My strange introduction

Hey everyone at DV!

I signed up last night after becoming interested in Lucid Dreaming a while back. Like many I wondered if it was even possible, and if it was why isn't everyone in the world doing it?

Last night I opened up DV and started reading. I read all the tutorials I could find and signed up to the forum. I took out a blank jotter pad to start my own DJ. I've had very vivid dreams for years now, almost every night without fail. Even the nights I get drunk or otherwise I can't close my eyes without my mind going, so I learned to enjoy it. I've had bed dreams, but never a nightmare.

Last night I led in bed. I told myself I would have a lucid dream, followed the usual steps before drifting off and had a very vivid dream - but no lucidity. When I woke up I did a RC, but I was awake. I jotted my dream into my dream journal and went back to sleep. I had another vivid dream but again no LD. I woke up to see that only an hour had passed. I text my gf and went back to sleep without updating my journal. Once again I had another vivid dream. To my surprise I looked at the clock and the time hadn't changed...

I checked my phone and there was no sent message... The last time I woke was a dream. I wish I'd done a RC but I was groggy and it just didn't cross my mind, but I could still remember my most recent dream even though I hadn't jotted it down. So I updated my journal again and went back to sleep for the "third" time. This time I had another vivid dream, but it was much, much longer, and I remembered almost every detail.

The moment I woke up I did a RC. It then took me 3 pages to write it down from start to the point I can't remember what happened next...

It'd be great to hear from some of you, I'm loving this site already. Reading all your stories gives me a lot of hope in one day achieving lucidity.
