Thread: Some questions on my first LD!

Yes everyone, it has finally happened, but I have some questions, firstly though, I will explain the dream.

Through some amaing coincidence, I managed to sleep for 6 hours, get up for 1, and go back to bed again, without me meaning to do it. After I got to sleep, I entered my dream world. I was walking down a street, and I find a car, with the back window broken, with a very very drunk Ashton Kutcher flopping out of it trying to throw measly punches at me. I started to say "Calc down mate, you've had a bit to drink", but he persisted. At this point, the scene changed to my room, and he was on my bed, but I didn't notice the change. He grabbed my leg, and started pulling me, trying to attack me. I started to get worried, and started shouting "Help! Help!", by which point, my throat was closing up (which happens relativelly often in my dreams). It was then that I figured that this was a dream.

I started throwing him around the room with my mind power to ensure I was dreaming (I was so pissed off at him, what else could I do? ). I then tried levitating out of my bed, and it worked. I was finally lucid.

I ran outside, and started jumping around, getting a feel for my body. I did a few frontflips, backflips, tried to fly (failed), met some in-dream characters, and saw my dog chasing after me. Everything was extremely realistic, more realistic than all my other dreams anyway.

But, then something weird happened. I entered this weird phase. I started feeling lghtheaded, then my head started to float up and down, pulling the rest of my body with it, as if I was under water or something. I then got a really tingly feeling around my body. I didn't mind it much apart from in my stomach, where I thought my clothes were on weird, and I couldnt fix them cos I was sleeping. It started to get really unpleasant around my stomach, so I simply thought "OK, I've been lucid, now my clothes are really annoying me, I think I'll just wake up and fix 'em". And so I did, and yes, my T-Shirt was all wrapped around me really tight because I was rolling in my bed.


Now, onto the questions:

1) How did I LD? Was it:
- - a) Pure luck/practice?
- - b) That I recignised that my throat only closes when I dream
- - c) That I slept for 6 hours, woke up for 1, and slept again (I hope it's not this one)

2) I didn't get full control of my dream, i.e. my dog, some characters, failing to fly, etc (Not that I mind), but does it mean anything, or is it normal?

3) What on Earth was that phase I entered near the end of my dream. In my dream world I thought it was a WILD, but now that I think about it, I dont think so. Whatever it was, it was very weird, and had my T-Shirt not been on weird, I would have been interested to find out what happened from there on.

And thank you to all the people who helped me have my first LD

Cheers
