Thread: Hello

Hey, i'm new to the forum as you can see.

I've got a few questions, but that will come later, i'm gonna introduce myself first

My name is Bryan, i'm from The Netherlands and i'm 19 years old.
As some people might say i'm a ''natural lucid dreamer'', because i've realized I was dreaming since I was young. I've always thought it was normal. Anyhow, I think i've been talking with someone about lucid dreaming (I cant remember it), because I was dreaming 3 days ago and I was driveing my mates car.. and I dont have my license yet. So I was getting followed by cops and I stopped near the road. She asked me to show me my license, but I told her no.. so she asked me why, I turned around and realized the car was turned into a bike, I then said to her: ''Because i'm lucid dreaming.'' I somehow got excited and lost it.

The next day I just had to know what Lucid Dreaming was, because I had never heard of it. So i googled it and came up here. I've been reading alot since.. I even tryed to WILD, twice.

So the first night I tryed to ''CANWILD'' (CrazyInsane his tutorial) I went to bed at 10:30pm and woke up at 4:00am, unfortunate was that I put my alarm at 4:30am, but that didnt let me down. I turned off the alarm and tryed a normal WILD, I think I had succes, because I got in sleep paralyze! yay! I never made it into a lucid dream though.

So yesterday evening I tryed the ''CANWILD'' again, I went to bed at 10:30 again, but this time I had put my alarm at 3:30, because before I came to this forum I went to bed at 1:00am everyday. So I thought I just didnt need anymore sleep and thats why I woke up the other day before my alarm went off. Guess what? I woke up at 3:00am, but I was to tired to try to WILD.

I've been doing RCs in awake life (thats how its called right?) and i'm keeping a dream journal, and I think I can already see progress! The first night I remembered 1 dream. The second night I remembered 3 full dreams and 2 fragments of other dreams wich were really weird and I should've known I was dreaming, lol.




Now the question, why did I wake up 30 minutes before my alarm went off twice? Is that because thats when my REM ends and i'm to excited to get back to sleep? Because I kind of thought:'' oh shit, I need to get back to sleep or else I cant CANWILD''.
I'm not giveing up yet though, i'm gonna try another canwild tonight and put my alarm at 3:45 and see how that goes.


I'm very sory for this long post, and my pretty shitty english
Thats it for now, thanks for reading and answers!!!

Bryan.
