Hello :)
I just joined the other day to use the dream journal, something I wish I started ages ago. I had googled something and it led me here.
I've never had lucid dreams but I want to, sounds interesting. I did have a weird dream last night where I think I dreamed about being lucid or something and was wondering if it could be some sort of "prelude"... or at least I'm hoping so...
I read your Dream entry, and you saw a clue thing that awakens your conscious mind (most of the time) in a dream: seeing arm with shit ton of fingers, don't know how your mind didn't react to that. That is my main reality check, as soon as I see such thing, I am instantly aware that having palm with so many fingers ain't really normal, and therefore my lucid dream begins. :DQuote:

bluelightning!! Welcome!! :D
Thanks :)
I was thinking the same thing tbh, but all I remember is being scared and confused, maybe that snapped me out of it. Maybe I'm just too noob...Quote:

Then you gotta pay more attention to your body parts in waking life, few times a day take a look at your arms (palms), and always count your fingers and make sure it's 5. If it is, tell yourself "This is a real life", or something similar, to convince your mind to start taking note of similar things. SO when you're in dream enxt time, and take a look at fingers (and see shitton of 'em again), your mind might realize: wait, I am having more fingers than I usually do, or less, this isn't okay, it must be a dream!Quote:

You were most likely having an excess amount of fingers, you just didn't look at your hands in the dream.Quote:

Just be persistent, and it will come :)
Thats what I've been doing (counting fingers, trying to push thumb through palm, holding nose and trying the breathe and also taking notice of what I'm doing and what I was doing before that). But I just started doing it seriously again and I'm assuming it takes longer. I've tried a few times before in the past but kept forgetting. I have been doing it a lot more often now though, and that dream seems to be the closest I've got.
Maybe I did get lucid for a few seconds and got freaked out and lost it, but it was too short lived to remember :(
