Thread: I Did It!!! (Sort Of)

Congrats on your lucid!

To prolong the dream, try to touch/feel/sense your surroundings. Run your hands along the grass/carpet, rub your hands, look around and drink in every detail with your eyes.... That sort of thing!

Congrats! Mes Tarrant gives good advice. It also sounds like you woke up to sleep paralysis. That can happen when you wake up unexpectidly from a (lucid) dream. I've been there and done that.

And don't worry about excitement, with a few more or so lucid dreams, you will learn to calm yourself down.

Well done. Remember to never be disconcerted by Sleep Paralysis, in fact you can learn to love it.

congrats im still trying to get some dream recall.

Congrats on your lucid dream! Now you know you can do it--and it just gets better from here. With some practice you'll have much longer LDs.

What I do when my lucid dreams start to fade is to rub my hands up my arms. That usually helps. If the visual starts to fade. I just lay still and try to imagine the scene to come back.

Anyway..keep up the good work.

Sweet, thanks for all the advice... I'll definitely use all of those tips next time (tonight hopefully).

So with the sleep paralasys thing... does it ever last for a long time and you can't get out of it? How often does it usually happen to you?
