Novice with succses

[Elsig]

Hi All. For about two month now I`ve been searching the internet for information about LD. I first now realized it had a name. In the last ten years these dreams have returned to me more often but still maybe only between five or eight a year (as far as i can recall). My LDs are most often OBEs when I take a nap during the afternoon or just before getting up in the morning. A few times I also had DILD where i suddenly realize I`m dreaming. The reason for my sudden interest now comes from one experience I had two month ago. I had one of my OBEs that always starts in the room that I`m sleeping in. I walked out of my room but woke up.. A bit irritated I wanted to go back to being lucid I suddenly felt like being sucked in great speed trough a dark tunnel. Every thing around me was suddenly extremely vivid, more then before and my lucidy lasted for about a 40 seconds (usually I wake up after ten seconds). I now realized that I could have some kind of control over these dreams so I started searching the internet for this exiting ability. I was surprised to find that so many others have experienced this things. Reading post here at Dream Views made me realize that many people have exactly the same experiences as I`have had.. I started doing RCs all day long hoping I could reveal my dreams so I could get lucid more often. I have always had a good dream recall so I did not have start with that. After two weeks I had my first DILD, but I woke up right away and ended up in a OBE... Just one week later I had my second DILD where I also woke up and went in to a short OBE. Since then I have experienced Both DILD and OBEs sometimes two times a week. Some very short other up to 40 seconds and really vivid. I have had great success in reading about others experiences and testing whats working for me. RC is the real secret even if I can wake up thinking "How could I not tell it was a dream?" My latest RC trick is to look at my reflection in any glass, window etc. I find it to trigger my lucid experience because I rearly see my self in reflections.. Elsig
