Thread: Almost a First

Great! Well, i guess I can check that off my goals.

Like I said in chat with these guys:

Getting excited is not waking you up, it's the belief that you will wake up due to being excited.

You should be able to get excited in a lucid without waking up, I mean, how else are you supposed to have fun?

Anyways, congrats on the first lucid! Here's to many more!

Good job man, and keep at it. Eventually that "OMG I'M DREAMING!" excitement will lower and you'll be able to maintain it...until you start getting "OMG I'M FLYING" excitement and wake up hahah. gl to you

Almost there Sounds like you had a a lucid moment.

Why should getting excited wake you up? Maybe, it's the belief that you will wake up when you get too excited.

Hell, I practically jump for joy in my lucids. No problem here.

Or maybe you wake up because you're detaching yourself from your dream... Or is that also all in your head?

I'm not too sure what you mean by that.

If you mean thinking about real life while in a dream, that should be no problem either.

I heard that if you ignore the dream you risk waking up. It's like the opposite of stabilizing by observing your surroundings. So in this case when you get excited you're so caught up in being lucid that you forget to stabilize.
