Hello,

My name is Brian. A 23 year-old from the Netherlands. I'm already familiar with LD through accidental DILD.
I always thought LD was a rare occasion until I recently learned it is possible to learn this as a skill.
A quick search with google was enough to stumble upon this forum.

I had a few short LD's these past years from which I almost immediatly woke up. In the last two LD's I had last autumn I was able tot stabilize my dreams almost completely, although not perfectly. These two dreams were the main reason I started gathering more information about the subject.
In these last two dreams I was able to summon objects (like a glass of water) and interact with them (drinking water while knowing it is fake still felt very real). Although I was not able to summon environments and DC's.
Also, in my last LD I was suddenly aware of my positon in my bed, which resulted in me floating in a room, unable to move (like that video on youtube of Stephen Hawking experiencing weightlessness).

I already have one question. I am actively trying to WILD since last week, although I haven't succeeded yet. I know It can take weeks or months until your first LD. But every morning since I discovered the forum, I do remember having dreams during the night (although not lucid).
Does this mean I'm onto something? Is this a sign of a subconsious raise of awareness?

Happy dreaming,

Brian
