Thread: LD and SP

this is my first time coming here, but recently i've been researching and whatnot, and I've always have had good dream recall, but for some reason I can't induce lucid dreams through reality checks...i've only been trying for a week, and my dream journal normally consists of me waking up and talking to one of my friends about the dream i just had. But on the other hand, there were times when I've become lucid just based on what i was doing (making objects fly around a room ect)

But I've just learned about SP and I almost feel like kicking myself for not finding out what it was earlier in life. I always thought it was the "hag" or the "devil riding your back" thing...or just my body telling me to wake the hell up. I actually tried relaxing the last time it happened...and nothing really happened...i just kinda woke up. But the day before yesterday was amazing.

I'm lying in bed and i hear everyone in the living room...(work nights so i sleep late) and I try to go back to sleep, and the SP kicks in...I relax, and it ends, and i still have my eyes closed and everything and I reach out...and I feel my hand go through something. I open my eyes and my hand is going through the wall. I get out of the bed realizing that I'm dreaming and walk through the door without opening it, and get to the living room, and try to jump...and eventually fly...but then i wake up.

Maybe i'll keep trying the reality checks thing...but so far all I've had dreams about was a work, and it's a new job..and it's all time based...so i really don't have time to check my keys that often...and ironically all of my dreams have been about that place recently. I just want to know how often should i be trying reality checks? As for SP...that normally happens to me about once a week, normally when I'm sleeping for more than 8 hours, so doing the reality check thing would help me out a lot.
