Newb just saying hello and sharing a bit
Hello everyone! I'm Beerai. First off, I'm pretty excited about this. I'm mostly excited just at the idea of lucid dreaming but also because I think I might have had a few (some even intentionally induced when I was younger) and I'd like to share them :)
I think my first one was years ago when I was just a little kid and still wet the bed. I knew how awful it was for my parents and I was getting pretty sick of it too so I trained myself to nod my head every time I was standing in front of a toilet bowl. You see, most of the time when I wet the bed I'd be dreaming that I was in front of a toilet. Eventually, I had a dream where I was standing in front of the bowl and I started nodding. After a few seconds, I felt the pillow on the side of my face! After a few more seconds I felt the drool on the pillow and woke up without having wet the bed. Problem solved lol.
Now, a little about me. I LOVE my sleep and am naturally a fairly lazy person. Anyway, about a year or two ago I'd have to get up fairly early for school. I would hear my alarm go off (not your normal alarm clock. I set up my pretty beafy stereo to play a linkin park cd or something) but instead of getting out of bed I would remain in that in between state and I would will myself to get up, without physically doing it. I would go about getting ready for school only to wake up, still in bed and realize that all of the preparation that I've been doing has been in a dream :P
Now to the present (and I'm sorry for the reeeeeally long post). I read about the site yesterday or possibly the day before. I thought I should give it a go but wasn't too serious and hadn't worked on dream recall or keeping a journal. Last night I had 3 or 4 dreams, all of which I could recall for a small amount of time and 1 of which I think I might have had control over my actions. It was pretty awesome. Anyway, recently I've changed to a temporary sleeping arrangement and I wake up a lot more during the night (before I'd just sleep like a log in my comfortable bed but this new one isn't that comfortable) and my sleep is much lighter.
Lol this really is going on and on isn't it :P Sorry for that, I'll be done soon. I had a nap the other day and it was one of those where you don't know if you fell asleep or not. I had a dream that I was being chased. Something was thrown at me and I jumped out of the way. I woke up when I felt that I had jerked. Is this a sign of LDing? I was aware of the bed and I think I was awake but I jerked at something in my dream meaning I wasn't expecting it.
Oh, one last thing, what does HI stand for? I figured out that SP is Sleep Paralysis but can't figure out HI yet.
Well that's it for me I think. Can't wait to chat with you all and try this out! :banana:
