Just read about lucid dreaming starting on friday. Had my 1st one last night! It didnt last long, but my reality check revealed too many fingers, and spinning kept me from losin it over the excitement. Then I got to fly. So exciting

Grats on your first lucid. The dreaming spinning and rubbing your hands together technique always does wonders.

Congrats! First lucids are always exiting. Grats on your first lucid. The dreaming spinning and rubbing your hands together technique always does wonders. Spinning does work very well, just make sure you keep reminding yourself that you're dreaming, or you might lose lucidity.

Wow, congrats on your lucid! And Welcome to Dreamviews! A lot of members would be jealous of you for getting a lucid dream so quickly. And flying, to boot. I think flying is probably something just about everyone does in those first lucid dreams. Keep checking you hands, and dream on. Oh--by the way, we have a section on here for dream journals, so you can start posting your dreams where other people can read and comment on them.

thanks you guys! I haven`t had another yet, possibly I`m a lil too anxious, possibly stress, lol, either way, I`ll get it eventually. yea the spinning definitely kept me where I was for long enough to realize what was going on and take flight. ...lost it somewhere after that though. I`ll keep the rubbing hands together in mind for next time. wish me luck!

well, last night I had another vivid dream, with several dream signs(one of which was a ringing trophy, which I answered and talked to my mom on lol), however, I was unable to bring myself to be able to do a reality check. please help!

Hiya, My brief stint on these forums has taught me a lot. You need to truly believe you can do x, y and z, if you do not then you won't put your thoughts into action. If you become aware you are dreaming you need to try (but not too hard) to realise it IS a dream and you CAN manipulate it. Start off easy... Try changing the colour of something. Last night, whilst randomly walkin and running around New York in my dream, I had a point where I became aware of the fact I was dreaming I started trying to manipulate my surroundings, which failed epicly. I tried something more subtle, in another dream that night I was following friends in to a back alley, they dissapeared and I seen a door which I believed they went through - I tried opening it and failed, but when I walked away the bloody thing opened! It's all in the mind. I think you just need to believe.

thanks for the tips! i also tried to remember to do more reality checks today to try to keep from forgetting to do those in dreamland I`ll let you all know how it goes

good for you, you seem to be a quick learner. It took me a while, but I have atleast 1 a week now, and that seems to only be increasing.

[tattoogirlTT]

lol!! You guys make it sound like so much more than it was with all this "prophetic" talk. It was merely a teeny tiny premonition, and you will all think it's silly once I explain it, but it excited me very much. Anyhow I'll have to go a little further into detail than I'd like to explain it. (and I say further than I would like because it will be all this building up to something so small and insignificant.) I just hope it doesn't disappoint you :p lol Ok, so my husband had to work out of town a few days this week due to lack of local work, and he was going to have to wake up at 4:30am Monday to go drive across town to his boss's house to catch a ride, simply because his vehicle isn't reliable enough for a long trip. Anyhow, 4:30 rolls around, and all 4 of our alarms went off, then a wake up call from his mom who works early, so he layed awake in bed waiting for his boss to text message him with the plans for the morning, but I went back to sleep. So later I hear his text tone while I am sleeping, and I swear, it seemed so real that he told me the message said that the guy was going to come pick him up at our house. So I slept peacefully until our daughter woke up for school, because I knew he didn't have to drive across town all early. So we both got up and were in the kitchen making breakfast, and I said something along the lines of "how cool that Brian is coming to pick you up this morning" And he was like "what are you talking about? He didn't say that" And then he shoewd me the list of messages in his phone, and he was right. No message said that. Then, a few minutes later, Brian texted him and said "ok I am leaving my house and coming to pick you up" See...told you it was not so big. lol Glad to share it though
