Thread: A breakthrough perhaps?

Hello everyone
I'm an oldie and I got interested in Lucid Dreaming because I used it in a self-published ebook I wrote (my latest sales/reviews are.....zero) I cheated really, because I didn't really have a clue about LD...I just used it as a means of communication in a sci-fi novel.

But, now I'm hooked. I've read most of Stephen LaBerge's book, now run a dream journal, do regular daytime RC's, tried sleeping with headphones with/without music but with "Do a reality check" prompts...and I've had zilch. If anything I went backwards because I stopped having the occasional vivid dreams I used to get and I wondered if my experiments were damping things down somehow.

But I read a thread by Naiya last night and I might have had my first result...small though it is. She talks about persevering with things long-term (I'm too inclined to move quickly on) and about sitting bedside and planning a dream scenario. I thought about a beach on the East Coast with a holiday camp in the background, music, fireworks and really bright stars

What I got was a house I was trying to access, with help from someone who came from a nearby holiday camp and me trying to climb over a cliffside wire fence, with a beach behind me. Not much I know...although aspects of the house were weird, no first lucid dream connection...but I personally feel that it's a breakthrough of sorts...two definite links to what I had envisaged before I went to sleep and that gives my fresh impetus.

Re the fireworks etc...parts of the house were add-ons and one annexe had multi-coloured spots on - maybe a faint link (Incidentally, I've had three dreams this year with odd multi-coloured themes in them -God knows what that's supposed to mean)

Anyway, I'm now firmly hooked
