After a month of patience, I did it!

[apollocre]

It was indescribable! I never realized just how real everything would be. I've been trying for over a month now and the wait and effort was completely worth it. There was a time two weeks ago when I realized I was dreaming, but I woke up instantaneously. This one had to last a good 10 minutes. Anyway, enough celebration, here's the dream. The induction method I used was a WBTB-WILD combination. After laying in bed for what felt like a half-hour, I started to think that SP wasn't going to come, so I gave up and decided to stop concentrating. The moment I decided that, my entire body was engulfed with a "foot-fallen asleep" feeling and I realized I had fallen asleep. With a little effort, I rolled over and stood up. I just sort of knew I was dreaming. I walked into the hallway where I thought I saw my friend's cat Snape, but it turned out to be Persian, my girlfriend's cat since high school, who never came home one day. Seeing him confirmed my suspicions, but in order to be certain I did the nose RC. I could still breathe so I knew. I had to take a moment to calm myself, because I read that you don't want to get too excited. I tried to push my finger through my hand, but that didn't work, so I tried to jump through the walls. I kept smacking into them and falling to the ground. Then I ran out of the front door and jumped off the balcony (2nd story apartment) and took flight. It was effortless. I could spin, speed up, slow down, anything I wanted. After flying for a while, I spotted some women by a pool and decided to see what oral sex would feel like. Skipping the specifics, it felt just like real life. Then I had a false awaking, where I woke up and told my girlfriend about it. After which, I woke up. To anyone who is still pursuing a lucid dream, but hasn't had one yet: Don't give up! When the moment comes, all the frustration and waiting will mean nothing. Just keep at it with patient perspective. You'll be incredibly grateful you did.

Congrats on the first lucid. The hand RC never works for me either. I can walk through walls but I can't fly :/

[hellohihello]

Why does everyone want to jump off a balcony -_-''. In this case that was especially dangerous. I know you saw a cat but when reality checks fail and you go off the balcony haha. That takes guts. Try the nose pinch. It hasn't failed me ever.

Congrats Apollocre! Can I ask about one detail - Did you mantain a perfectly continuous conscoiusness till rolling over from your body or you had a very short momentary black-out?

Try the nose pinch. It hasn't failed me ever. Read carefully, he said he did the nose RC (or in other words the "nose pinch"). Still, I never get why people just don't start flying in their rooms or something, you know, just in case. But, anyway, congratulations on your first "real" lucid dream. A tip: don't slack off with your dream journal, it's very hard to get back into the swing of things. Hope you get many more lucids, if you don't think of it as something hard to do, you'll find gaining lucidity can actually be pretty easy.

Congrats, On your first LD and thanks for the encouragements I still haven't gotten my first one

[hellohihello]

Congrats, On your first LD and thanks for the encouragements I still haven't gotten my first one I find WBTB with MIND works well.

[Zaph]

I can't seem to get any LD's, WILD or DILD...

[apollocre]

Congrats Apollocre! Can I ask about one detail - Did you mantain a perfectly continuous conscoiusness till rolling over from your body or you had a very short momentary black-out? It's hard to remember exactly, but I think it was continuous.

[Nihao]

It's hard to remember exactly, but I think it was continuous. Thanx Apollocre, I have problem with it and while WILD always have a blackout and come back realising that I start to dream or my body starts drifting. I think that it may be related to poor quality of my LD's - very blurry, dark, not much control...

[ninja9578]

Congrats

[Slick]

I can't seem to get any LD's, WILD or DILD... Same here, it's been over year and lately, I've been giving up.

[Sabre2552]

I take it you left out the oral sex part when telling your girlfriend about it?

[apollocre]

I take it you left out the oral sex part when telling your girlfriend about it? You are correct.

Nice. I would like to add that the same thing happened to me. I had had lucids before coming to this site. Long story short, I would have them once every couple of months. I kept a dream journal for 2 or 3 weeks and was frustrated because of the lack of lucids. One day, like a magic transformation, I had a DILD and chained two DEILDS off of it. In the two weeks following, I had 7 lucids! ( 4 DILD and 3 DEILD ).

[Stardrowned]

After flying for a while, I spotted some women by a pool and decided to see what oral sex would feel like. . that made me crack the fuck up . i have no idea why.

[thedreamingwolfess]

Thanks for the encouragement. :] Congrats! You have officially graduated from First Ten-minute Lucid Dream...grade. XD I still have to do so. =P I WILL DO A WBTB/WILD TONIGHT. I KNOW I WILL HAVE A LUCID DREAM. >D *determined*

[SleepyCookieDough]

I hope that it takes me a week less than a week that way I can have my first LD on my birthday You've just made me want to have an LD by the way....

[reapsltd666]

ya sex in lucids kick ass. But i usually get too "excited" if you know what I mean. btw, those palm through-hands and walk through-walls RC's usually dont work. nose and light switches are what i stick too. those 2 never fail.

[SleepyCookieDough]

I forgot to say "GOOD JOB"

[Barbizzle]

W00t Good job and good LD hehe. Keep it up dude.
