Thread: First Lucid Experience (Not Good)

Hey.welcome to the forum.
Haha.That sound's pretty scary.
I have never had a seizure in a lucid.

dreams are powerful, just remeber this, when you dream you are god.

First of all, .

Well, aside from the dream seizure, you're one of the lucky ones. A lot of members here have to wait weeks, even months for their 1st LD. Not to mention you got Lucid from looking in a mirror, which just happens to be a common Dreamsign due to the fact your image was distorted.

By the way you put it, it sounds like the dream took advantage or you. Maybe it did, maybe it didn't. That just how it sounded to me. But the dreamworld is a strange place. Even stranger is the influence your subconscious has over that world. But fear not! Not all Lucid experiences are like this. If you want to try again, and the same thing or something similar happens, stand up to your subcon. Remember that it's you're dream, and you are in control. It may sound easier said than done, but the idea is to just do it. Don't hold back.

Who knows? Maybe now everything may be a bit easier since you know what an LD feels like, even if it was for a second.

If you have anything else on your mind, don't hesitate to ask.

Thankyou
I appreciate your advice. I guess i might have been so startled to be in an LD, it scared me a bit lol. If i can manage to do it again, ill definently try to take control and stand up to the subconciouss...

I have been wondering about some of the abbreviations on this forum, and was wondering what they meant... WILD, DILD, and there is more, but i cant remember them atm...

Yeah, we do seem to have a lot of them. However the main ones you need to know are these. They also come with links to their respective tutorial. Of course, there are others, and the full list can be found here. There should also be links to respective topics there as well.

Ah ok, thankyou very much for that... Upon reading, it seems i had a DILD, cause i recognized i was dreaming because i had a blurry face in the mirror, which was something i had read earlier might happen. But it had nothing to do with a reality check, cause the ones i was using for that was pinching and looking at a digital clock.

Yeah, my 1st had nothing to do with an RC either. I just became aware I was dreaming. It also was a DILD. DILD is probably the most common LD method, and is the one you'll see a lot around the forums. Probably because it's easier to do than most LD techniques. Even though it is a common technique, WILD is probably the most frequently talked about. It's one I'd like to try during my upcoming school break.

It's interesting to me how you dreamed about the mirror because you read it could happen. Of course I know this can happen, but it's a rare day when something like that actually happens for me. It happened for you on the 1st night!

Congrats on your first lucid dream but i'm sorry it wasent good

Im actually really annoyed now... I have a DILD the first night i try, and then i havent had anything since.

Now the practice comes. Don't get frustrated though. That's a big-no-HUGE setback.

Have you looked into anything to have another Lucid Dream?

Ive been doing reality checks like 5-6 times a day, keeping a dream journal AND i spend about 7-10 mins staring at my hands saying aloud "I will dream of my hands tonight, and when i see them, i will realize im dreaming" before i sleep. Im just annoyed that i can have one the first night trying, and then not.

As bad as I feel for you about having a seizure, I do have to say I hate you. You actually LD'd? And on your FIRST TRY?! Augh! I've tried for a grand total of 7 months and the only thing I have to say for it is 30 minutes of Sleep Paralysis and dreams ABOUT Lucid Dreaming >_<

Oh well, welcome to the community and I hope you have better luck. Seizures probably aren't fun.

To ease yourself back into lucid dreaming again, try doing visualizations during the day. Imagine having a good lucid experience, where you feel safe and calm.
