Thread: 3 Brief LD experiences

New member, newly attempting to attain lucidity in my dreams.

My first lucid experience I was dreaming and became lucid by realizing that things around me were a dream. Suddenly everything came into sharper focus and became much more vivid. It lasted only briefly before I lost lucidity.

The second time a similar experience happened except this time I tried having more control of what was going on. It seemed to only last a few seconds before the dream faded and I woke up.

The third time was the most unique time as it happened with a dream within a dream. It was during an extended nap and I had been dreaming for a while. The dream took me to my dorm room during a FA and I was with friends. We took pills so we could have a lucid shared dream experience together. I feel asleep in this dream and began a dream inside a dream in which I became lucid. I could make things disappear in this dream by focusing really hard, could make things levitate, and could also grab things without actually touching them - like telekinesis. This all took a lot of focus and energy to do though. I then woke back up into the first dream and talked about the experience with my friends. Then I actually woke up.

EDIT: I became lucid in the third dream because when immediately entering the dream after taking the pill I was under water and couldn't tell up from down. I was about to drown and just as I took a breath my lungs were filled with air not water. Then I knew I was dreaming and stood up in a pond with my friends who had taken the pills with me.

The thing I'm confused about with the last experience is whether or not it actually counts as a lucid experience as I was dreaming about dreaming that I was lucid.
