Thread: First Ld!!!

A week and a half after starting to work on my dream recall and this morning I had my first LD.

I had woken up about 5 times in the night to write down dreams. The final time I woke it was about an hour and a half before I had to get up so I decided to try to MILD.
I think I fell asleep though and I went into a dream where I was just walking up the stairs to my room (no idea how I got there). I started getting ready to go to bed, shut the door so I could get changed, tried to turn the light on and nothing happened. I tried all three lights in my room, none of which worked except one which gave off a tiny TINY amount of light that I couldn't actually see by. It was about this time I realised, "Hey, I'm probably dreaming.". I pinched myself to check and I couldn't really feel it. I could feel the pressure of my fingers but no pain (odd sensation. like getting surgery under local anasthetic).

I got really really excited because I've wanted to LD so badly ever since I first read about it. I think it was because I got so excited, the world started to feel..... less real. I could just tell that I was waking up without any real reason.
I tried the spin thing to stay in the dream as well as rubbing my hands together but by this point I had already started to be able to feel my body lying in bed again although I could still see my room from where I was standing in the dream.
I woke up about then.


Anyway, I'm so excited/amazed now that I know that I can LD.
Now just to master a proper induction technique as opposed to DILD.


Thanks so much to everyone who's given me advice/support over the last week and a half. I really appriciate it.

So long and sweet (lucid) dreams.

Nice 1st LD! You're on your way!

Tip for next time: Don't get over-excited. Acknowledge the fact you're dreaming, and just remain calm. Do insane crap while still reminding yourself subtly that you're dreaming.

Congratz!

Feels great eh?

bobthemonkey, congratulations on your first LD!

Now that you know LDs are possible.. may you have many many more!

Congrats on your first lucid!

I remember that feeling. When I had my first LD I hadn't even fully believed that LDing was possible at all, let alone possible for myself.

Isn't it wonderful to see all the possibilities that lay ahead?

congratz man! I remember my very first LD, i was shaking from being excited .

Congratulations on your First Lucid Dream!

I wish you many more in the future!

First lucid dreams deserve a banana dance!


Congratulations! May you get a nice stream of lucids ahead of you!
