New Initiate

Hey everyone!

I'll keep my intro short:

I've always had decent dream recall (usually at least 1/day), and occasionally I tend to have extremely strange and vivid dreams (though not lucid). When I was younger, up until university probably, I did have lucid dreams on rare occasions, but I often woke up immediately afterwards, or they wouldn't last long and the excitement would wake me up e.g. levitate, jump really high and across buildings, etc. Because of this, I never really thought much about lucid dreaming, but (somewhat) recently I learned that it's a skill that can be practiced, and very recently (5 days ago) I began reading about and practicing lucid dreaming, and here I am! :)

In the past 5 days my dream recall has spiked greatly (~5/night), and I achieved lucidity 3 times (all different nights), but the first two I woke up immediately. The 3rd time lasted a little longer, but I believe I lost control at one point and then woke up shortly thereafter.

I'm looking forward to more lucid dreams, and I'm glad to be here! :)

Hello Forward and :welcome: you seem tobe on the right track so Forward it is then :)

Welcome to Dreamviews, Forward!

Looks like you are doing it right.

Yes, being excited can wake us up. The excitement should subside after few more LDs. I used to wake up from excitement and sheer happines when I realized I'm dreaming even after many lucids. But I was loving it anyway, so no complaints here.
