About 10 years ago I got into lucid dreaming for a short while with only a little success. My reality check was trying to breathe through my pinched nose. In about a year of trying, back then, I think I had a total of 10 lucid dreams, and maybe only 1 or 2 that were very interesting.

Well, I discovered this forum a few weeks ago and my interest was rekindled. I tried a WILD, based on a tutorial on this site, but I ended up keeping myself awake all night. Woops! I'll try again soon.

I'm posting my first message though, because last night I had my first (unplanned) lucid dream in about 10 years! I did my nose pinch, and what do you know, I'm dreaming! The dream lasted about 10 minutes before I woke up, and it wasn't particularly eventful. I kept it tame, knowing that I might get too excited and wake up if I tried anything funky. Instead, I just explored the dream world and marveled at looking at different objects close up. I absolutely love to see how the brain creates detail out of imagination.

Anyway, I'm excited to get into this again but hope I have more success than I did in the past.
