Thread: 1st Lucid dreaming, maybe

Sounds to me like you had a lucid dream. A really good way to check to see if you are dreaming is by doing something called a Reality Check such as plugging your nose and trying to breathe through it or examining your hands. Chances are that if you look at your hands and you have 6 fingers on each hand, you are dreaming.

The method in which you became lucid is called a Dream Induced Lucid Dream or DILD for short.

Next time you think you might be dreaming, do a reality check. This way you can KNOW if you are dreaming or not, and not just have a suspicion.

If you have any questions regarding DILD or Dream Control, just PM me and i will help the best i can.

Another thing you will need to have is a Dream Journal. Every time you wake up, try to run through any dreams you might remember, then write them down. You will usually want to do a Reality Check RIGHT after you wake up(i once wrote down my entire dream after dreaming of waking up, i woke up and had to write it down all over again). Dreaming that you wake up is called a False Awakening or FA for short.

Even if you wake up thinking "Oh i dont need to write this down, i remember enough of it.", chances are you wont remember it later. So ALWAYS WRITE DOWN YOUR DREAMS.

So once again, if you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

I hope you have fun on DreamViews and stay awhile!
