Thread: Another one of those HELLO topics...

Hey everyone! I joined a few days ago actually, but didn't have time to post...
Anyways, I found this site not too long ago, and became really interested in this whole lucid dreaming thing. I've had two so far: (Not realy in detail, just generally what happened

1. I'm at school. I put my finger through my hand, and my finger goes all the way through and comes out the back of my palm :/ Then I think, "Whoa, this is a lucid dream!" So I walk over to my friend and ask her, "Hey do you wanna fly?" We fly up in the air for a bit, but I couldn't control which direction I was going. It's like the wind was pushing me. I remember bumping into a bird that was sitting on top of a building, and I lost my lucidity after that


I had no idea how this one happened :/ I was trying to WILD late at night, but I couldn't concentrate, so I gave up. I was getting tired, and really wanted to change my position. I tried doing MILD, but I decide to leave it for another night. So I fall asleep, and have a lucid dream :]

2. I'm standing on the side of the street. (A lot of stuff happened before, but I can't rmember all of them.) Suddenly, this thought comes to me: "Okay, stop! Do a reality check." I try the hand thing again, but it doesn't work. My finger wouldn't go through my palm - just like in real life. Then, I think: "But this can't be real life, It feels like a dream!" (When I dream, I can sort of remember how they feel. In dreams, I feel dizzy and lightheaded, but at the same time, normal. I'm not sure how to describe it, but I can tell that feelign apart from real life, sorta. (Ignore this sentence if I'm just confusing you) Immediately, I plug my nose and try to creathe through my fingers. It works, but but barely. So I take a look at my hands, and try to count my fingers. I had about 6-7 fingers on each hand. Then I realize, "Hey, I really am dreaming!" For some reason, the second I become lucid, I immediately start to fly. The next thing I know, I'm flying over a huge ocean. I dive underwater, and see a bunch of seaweed. Then, I dive underwater again. (Yes, there was water underwater in my dream) After a few seconds of this, I become bored with it. So I think, "If I close my eyes and think about being somewhere else, I could actually teleport there!" Aaaaand the second I close my eyes, I woke up :/


I have a couple of questions, though:

Is it possible to be dreaming of being lucid? Like maybe one of the above dreams weren't really lucid dreams - I was dreaming normally, and I happened to dream of doing a reality check, etc.


Next question: Are you ever able to wake yourself up from a nightmare? Whenever I have a really bad dream, riught before something bad is about to happen to me, I think to myself, "No, I'm not gonna take this!" (Kind of becoming lucid at the last second of the dream and forcing myself to wake up) And I pull myself out of the dream. When I do that, I usually wake up in partial SP. (Can't move, but I can see most of what's around me) It takes a while for me to get out of it. It's weird :/

Well, that's it! I'm looking forward to meeting you guys!
