Thread: The New Guy

Hi, I'm new here as you can tell and figured that I would introduce myself . I have been trying to lucid dream ever since I had an odd experience with a friend that I believe to be symbolic shared dreaming and his friend who was also in the dream claimed to remember something too.
Anyways that was around the end of January. I did a search on dreams because of this and ended up re-discovering lucid dreaming. Mind you I had already known about lucid dreaming for awhile and this experience made me concentrate on it more.
Anyways after about a week of practice I believe I had an extremely short lived WILD (about a second) where I became lucid in my visualization I was using to relax. Now on Friday I got one that was fairly short because of getting hyper which isn't really like me so I think I was in a low level of lucidity anyways. It was actually triggered by a short burst of lucidity I had where I programmed myself to become lucid once I did something soon to come in the plot.
On Sunday and last night I tried a method where you sleep on your side (I did my left side down which I think does have an effect.) I also was on my harder pillow and asked my subconscious for an LD. Both times it worked!
On Sunday I had two both of which were short but not very short. The first was about 2 minutes (give or take) long and was interesting because I noticed an inconsistancy and had doubts of me dreaming because I was in a dream version of my house rather than the usual make-believe environment. I looked out the window and asked myself if I could be dreaming and my dream dad piped up saying, "Of course you are, you're just in denile of the possibility."
I ran to my bedroom and tried to put my hand through my desk as a reality test because my dad has an odd sense of humour. Man that was fun, it was like putting my hand through a localized, thick goo. This is when the dream dad came in and said it was time to sacrifice me and I got a dream flash of a dungeon.
I started spinning in circles and asking to go into my favourite show then the dungeon came into my mind and I thought, "Not there," over and over. The area felt different but not like what I would expect the target to be. I stopped anyways and guess what? I was in the dungeon!
The other lucid dream I had that night was short lived because as soon as I went, "I'm dreaming!" the dream character version of my friend said, "Then you won't mind if I do this!" and grabbed me by the throat and slammed me against the doorway. I had three other dreams that night but I'm trying to keep this short.
Then last nights was long but with periods of low lucidity. To summarize it I tried to go into my favourite show again and instead manifested the main character who decided to try and kill me. I tried to manifest a sword and instead, after a few tries, manifested a cylinder-shaped stress ball that, when squeezed, had a light saber extend from it. I like to call it the squishy-saber. 8)
I then ended up defeated and ran to my dream relative's house. The cousin (who wasn't even based on a real cousin) knew that I knew I was dreaming and asked to come back to the real world with me as a split personality. I transformed him and he left me alone . Then I looked out the window to see the guy from my favourite show (inuyasha) sleeping with the neighbourhood dogs .
Well tonight instead of just trying to do spinning and closing my eyes and opening them I think I'll try the around the corner method. I hope that this wasn't too long or misplaced. Sorry, I'm new.

Welcome to the board! We hope you find it helpful here.

Hehehe Squishy-saber....

Welcome to the boards, and btw very nice dream.

Welcome!

I hope the people in your dreams start treating you nicer!

Welcome to the forum, LDGuy!

I see that you have alot to say on LD, and you have already been properly introduced to the EMOTICONS! Arn't they great!

First of all thank you for all the warm welcomes.
Seeker: Yeah, I wonder why they decide to go all, "Grrr... RUN AWAY!" on me. But yeah that is a little odd. I've heard of it happen before though. Everyone in my dreams seem to know that I know I'm dreaming and noone is any longer neutral to me. They're either nice or evil. Or in the case of the fake cousin nice but with a creepy agenda. Oh well I'm sure that my dream control will improve soon. Maybe I should try and remember to raise my lucidity before trying to do anything.

Welcome to the forums. Would you like my autograph? I am in fact...Charlie Chaplin in disguise. Yes, Charlie Chaplin. Would you like a suggesting such a thing. Goodbye.
