Thread: I kinda did it...

You brain entered a new realm of consciousness (the lucid dream,) and it had never done that before so it didn't know what was happening so it panics and aborted your dream to try and figure out what was going on. Once you get used to the fact that you can be asleep and be aware of it your brain will stop panicking. It shouldn't happen next time, your lucid dreams will just get longer and longer and more complex. I promise

And to DV! If you haven't already check out the Tutorial Section and specifically the DILD tutorial. You should also check out the homepage sections about reality checks and dream signs. Feel free to ask question.

We have bananas!

:O No cookies?

Oh, this makes perfect sense! Thank you very much for the quick reply! So, next time, I will be able to (hopefully) start actually "dreaming" while I'm lucid, right?

On the tutorials:
I checked all of them, I simply use DILD with a lot of willpower with it. Not sticking to a strict guideline seems to work for me, and just trying to spot signs of dreaming is good enough, that's what got me lucid both of those times.

Thank you very much!

None of the tutorials are supposed to have strict guidelines, that's bad for lucid dreams. All lucid dreamers are different so they all have to tweak each technique to work for them.

No, we can't have cookies because they get eaten by this guy

i doubt u woke urself up. u just awakened. dont just be like, "this sucks". take advantage and think of a dream scene / ur dream rooom... it should be an easy LD if u were in fact really lucid

Being in your room isn't as boring as you might think, look under your bed or in your closet, there is often some crazy stuff in there.

Congrats on the lucid, KenRaydon.
If you ever find yourself in the same situation, try to remain calm and slip back into another dream. When you are in a dream, you can visualize something happening, and the visualization will become real. Either visualize the dream you just left, or a scenario of your choosing. You can picture something easy, like running through your house, or walking down a set of stairs. This should dump you back into another dream.

If you get good at it, you can enter a lucid dream even after a normal dream ends.

I am new in this ..when I first wanted to try lucid dreaming this happened to me yesterday, But I didn't have any dream at least I remember not having a dream I just I feel that I know that I'm in a dream then everything went black and began to fade and then I woke up ..
