Holy Crap, I Did It!

I just wanted to let someone (I don't care if it's a complete stranger ;) ) know that I just woke up from my first lucid dream. I did WBTB today, relaxed my mind and told myself I'd question my environment when I saw my boss(HUGE dream sign). I fell to sleep and I saw my boss. It worked! Then I stared at my hands and spun a little bit to gain focus and everything looked so clear! I ran inside and found my dad there. I said "Dad, I did it! I know you're not real, but I just wanted to tell you!" :) I kept my focus for what seemed like 3-5 minutes before I got all stupid and dreamy again.

The best part is now that I KNOW I can do it, I feel much more confident about it. (Think Harry Potter and his first fully formed patronus, if you're an HP nerd)

Thanks. ;) I have unbelievably common dream signs, so I'm glad I finally recognized one, or I would have started to feel silly, haha.

Thanks to everyone for the congratulations. I'm very excited and I don't think I would have been able to do it without this forum. ;) ;)

wow congrads... i havn't had a lucid dream yet.. mabye tonight


can you explain what you did like what tech. you did

TripleX, maybe you should read the tutorial section of this site. It has most of the information you need to get started with LD. If you should have any questions after that, feel free to ask. :D

Hey there. I just thought I'd say "Hi" and chip in that I'm a BIG supporter of WBTB as a recall technique and also to combine with lucid techniques. Highly effective, especially for those of us with naturally bad recall.

I have naturally bad recall, yet last night i went to bed not even really thinking about lucid dreaming. And i had my first lucid dream!
Anyway, congrats on the lucid dream!

is wbtb when you go to bed for like 6 hours and ake up stay awake than go back to bed, if it is i did it last night, and remembered clearly to dreams. Im proud of myself. So whats a good lucid dreasm tech i can combine with my recall tech. and like if its fild should i do it the first time im going to bed (6hours) or the second time(the rest of sleep 4 hours)

most techs work best after you wake up in the middle of the night.

Oh, well is there any one in preticular?

Yeah, you got it, man, that's WBTB down to a T.

I'd reccomend you look into MILD. There's a tutorial here. It's a technique that's perfectly suited to WBTB.

I like counting 1 i will fall asleep and have a lucid dream... or something else similar.

Great job on having your first LD, Jacqui! I know the feeling of just needing to tell everybody about success; Your doing the right thing.

BTW, I bow to your sig, Blue.

congratz!! im still w8ing for my first major LD ...................its taking forrrever but congradulations and all that jazz :)

Hehe! Congratulations!!! I know what you mean about the now I know I can do it kind of thing! May you have many more lucids to come! (I'm still trying to get my 2nd lucid)
