First Steps Into Lucid Dreaming
I first got into lucid dreaming after watching a film called Waking Life which is a really great film set from the perspective of someone who is having a series of lucid dreams. At that time, my sister also told me that she had had some lucid dreams and thus the quest to be a lucid dreamer began.
My first (and only) LD came when I was having a dream in which my boyfriend, my sister and I were sneaking into a rich house just to have a look. We were in the hall way when suddenly we heard the owners coming home. I freaked out and told everyone to run and we started running, the only problem was I was running in slow motion in the crouch position. I was trying so hard to go as fast as I could but I was trapped in this strange state. Then suddenly I realized that this absolutely never happens in real life - no matter how unfit you are! That's when I realized it was a dream! Slowly I started to bring myself up and moveing a little faster but then I woke up.
That was a while ago - lately I have been getting into it again. I have started a Dream Journal, and I have had two dreams in which I have questioned whether or not it was a dream (always with a no). My dreams have also been a lot more vivid and I remember them a lot better.
I am feeling like I am getting closer to having a decent LD.
Looking forward to learning more about Lucid Dreaming!
