What's up! This is Kokasion! I'm new here, not new to Lucid Dreaming. I've been practicing for about 2 years, and successfully had 3 Lucid Dreaming Sessions. (Though I've awaken many times and fallen right back in.) I have quite a weird experince with my first one. A "Body High" before I went lucid.

My favorite method of Practice is Wake induced, I feel like I'm an expert in it. I actually decided to get back into Lucid dreaming because it was so awesome! It was kind of just put aside. I have irregular sleeping patterns and I feel that may be hindering me from having a lucid dream. That's when I try. I'm going to start trying again, I promise! I'll bring you some of the greatest, most detailed stories. I'm good with words, and I enjoy describing my experiences. (I love talking about myself, bassically.)

Here's the first one, the other two are a little personal.

I had just gotten off the internet, and I was living with a friend in a small one bedroom apartment. I slept on the couch. The weird thing about this was that I had no intention of having a Lucid dream. After attempting many many nights in a row, while living in Germany. (Practically Isolation since I didn't speak the language.) It had been a year since I first heard about it. Of course I jumped on attempting Lucid dreaming the same night.

As I laid there, my roommate was taking a shower, the light was on and the couch was uncomfortable. I just wouldn't fall asleep, I laid there for maybe an hour before I thought "I'll probably have a lucid dream this way." This thought just popped in my head, I hadn't thought of Lucid Dreaming for a few months now. I had given up for the time being. But something just told me I was going to have one.

Not more than a few seconds later, I got this strange buzzing sensation deep in my brain! It was the weirdest feeling. (I remember feeling it when I would get really tired and start nodding off, but still stay concious. Usually when I was younger and doing forgotten homework late at night.) It kind of scared me at first, I was afraid something terrible would happen, but I could tell it was trying to build and I was stopping it somehow. It build pressure and audibility (In my mind) but waned. Then it built again. Without warning it didn't wane, but built longer, and I thought, "Uh oh, this is it." And it built until it felt like my head was going to explode. It was almost painful, but not in a way I could describe. More of an annoying twinge you get when your foot falls asleep.

It built and then there was a climatic POP! And nothing happened....

I was still laying on the couch, but someone was laying on the floor next to me, they kept reaching up and trying to take my covers. I really didn't know why, but I really didn't want them to. I started thrashing about wildly to keep them from doing it, and eventually opened my eyes, and no one was there.

I figured I was dreaming ( and I was) And thought, "It was so Realistic!" But I laid there, hoping I would get the same feeling. Soon enough the buzzing came back and the pop ensued. But I was still laying on the couch. I figured I should get out off the couch and do a reality check. I was still wrapped in the covers, so it was kind of difficult and my body kind of floated as I got out, I was all wrapped in the covers. I didn't find the floating unrealistic at all, but I knew that I must have been dreaming because I felt the pop. I didn't recognize anything wrong with the living room, the only difference was that the light was off. But I didn't notice anything wrong. Then I opened my eyes again and I was laying on the couch! "Dammit!" I thought, I should have walked out the door and done something.

Not long after thinking that I felt the buzzing come back and quickly clamed myself. I was ready this time, then the pop, I gently got off the couch again. Everything seemed to be in place, I was sure I was dreaming but it was so hard to tell. Even when I opened the door and saw that I was on the second story I thought it was totally normal (My friend lived on ground floor and stair case wasn't facing the right direction, all these things I didn't realize until I woke up.) I knew that I would need to jump off the stair case, this is where I was kind of anxious. It was a tall staircase and I might hurt myself if it wasn't a dream. I do it all the time in real life though, so why not? Once I lept from the top stair, I knew it was a dream. I didn't get the sensation of flying, but I hovered right above the stairs for such a long time, and the raillings flew beside me faster and faster. I couldn't see the ground either, it just faded to black. I thought that even though it was a dream, just thinking that it might hurt might hurt and I didn't want that. So I wanted it to go on forever, and just fall, I never hit the ground. But I did change to a profile view of me falling past the rails. Then I woke up.

I felt exhausted from keeping this up so I decided to just fall asleep normally, and there was no buzzing. the next time.

A few weird things that I'd like to point out:

I don't know if these pops were a figment of a dream that I continuously had false awakenings, but inbetween them I could hear the shower running. In the parts where I wanted to know whether or not I was dreaming there was no shower running, and thel lights were off. I've never had the popping feeling again, but I've only had one other wake induced dream.

Usually when I first lucid dream, they're so short lived! I can't stand it, each dream seems to last about two minutes. But I'm able to go in and out. Once I have it I'm able to do it again and again and again, but once I let go of the ability it leaves for a few months. I get mentally exhausted, almost like I can't take it anymore, and I just want to sleep and not have a dream. But really I don't!

I just want to have a long Lucid Adventure with all my friends in it where we do all sorts of amazing things.

I'm not sure if this Topic will ever end with me saying "In Conclusion!" I think I'm just rambling.
