Thread: First Lucid Dream, Finally! (long read, detailed)

I used the DILD method. I'm not going to lie to you guys, I just don't like all the preparation and such of other methods. I'd rather just lie down and whatever happens happens. I usually have awesome dreams regardless, but this one was different. This is very detailed and as you can see, it's a long read.

There were about, in the dream, about 10 minutes where I wasn't controlling it. Where I was just watching the dream like every other person would. I was in an urban setting and people were shooting at me. So I was literally thought to myself, I have to do a reality check right now. So I took cover behind a building and did the usual three tests I do in a row. I first try to put my finger through my palm, that felt like if I pushed harder it would've worked but I figured if I wasn't dreaming I would've hurt my finger. So I moved on to just checking my hands to see if they were weird looking. They weren't. Most likely because I do the checks so often in real life that my brain just embedded the reality check sequence in my mind. So I moved on to the final check, the big gun: I plugged my nose and took a deep breath. I was expecting the air to stop, as it does it reality. But it didn't, I actually breathed. So in my dream, I was like "HAHA! I'M ACTUALLY DREAMING!" I remember actually screaming that, because I was so happy I finally caught it. Then, I remembered people were shooting me so I busted into action. I put my index and middle fingers out and put my thumb up and made a gun shape with both my hands. Kind of like a kid would. But when I said "boom", bullets actually came out and shot the last 4 guys to tail me. Then I walked to the street below all this commotion and now is where it became REALLY lucid. I looked on the horizon on the street and thought "I'm not going to be able to walk home...I wish I had a quad." When I looked at the headlights of the vehicle I spawned, it honestly felt like reality. Infact, in the dream I thought, "I now know why they make reality checks. This is so real!" That was like the peak. Because after I got into the summoned Red Ford F-150, things became all foggy and less lucid, like a normal dream. But I was SO happy to see how real it could look.

Thank you for your time! Post yours if you would like, and thanks for those who actually read it. haha.
