Hey! This is my first post on this forum! I live in Norway which is a small country and it's hard to find anyone here who knows what lucid dreaming is... Well here's my story: A friend of me introduced me to lucid dreaming and I have been trying to achieve some for a while now. I tried the WBTB-technique today and it somehow worked. I had one short lucid dream. My only problem is that it seems I have no control over when I become lucid. I have had two LD's lately and in both of them I realise that I am dreaming because I am about to die. In the first one, a doctor started drilling into my back and I found it all too insane to be real. In the second one I walked into an elevator without seeing that I walked onto the elevator roof. About to be squished between the elevator and the roof, I again realised that this can not be real. Turning nightmares into lucids isn't that bad I must say, but I don't have nightmares that often and I would like to become lucid more often. Please share Your thougths about my situation. To those of You who might suggest some reading, I can tell that I am currently reading laberge's book.
