Thread: First long LD

Hi dreamers!

This is my first post on the forum so a little introduction is probably a good idea. I have been LDing on and off for about 6 years now and during that time I've flown a lot, had numerous weird deaths, encountered many strange dream characters, turned into a dragon and generally had a good time living out various fantasies and alternative realities. Recently I've been thinking more about using LDs as a creative aid for my 'waking' life and hopefully soon I'll make some progress in that direction. I've always been interested in testing consciousness and believe LDs are the best way to explore the inner realms.

Last week I had my first long LD which probably lasted 10 or 15 minutes, although it's always difficult to tell. The dream had a narative quality about it and I was very much in control. It was actually the second LD that night so I was probably in a better frame of mind to retain lucidity than I usually would be. I won't go into all the details because it was a long complicated story but basically I managed enjoy myself and excercise a lot of power. The only thing I couldn't do was fly to Mars - I woke up trying!

Anyway I think I'll stick around this board for a while, it's the best place I've found for exchanging LD experiences and thoughts.

Peace.
