Two nights ago, I got to bed really late, so I wasn't expecting to dream much, or very well. I've been practicing ADA when I can, and sporadic awareness when I can't. I've also been saying a mantra when going to bed, and when going back to bed after writing in my dream journal through the night.
I want to say, that the first LD two nights ago, was due to the mantra. It was just after a wbtb (but not trying a wild - cause I always fail, and end up being awake for the rest of the night). I fall back asleep, then I realize I'm dreaming. I don't know why it was different than the others that I've had, which are mostly all random DILDs. It just seemed different, and that's why I am attributing this one to the MILD mantra.
Anyways, after I had that first Lucid, I began thinking about myself laying in bed...I always do that, unfortunately. But this time, I attempted a DEILD. I've done it before, but I think I've always done it at the end of a sleep cycle, so I can never fall back asleep with it, so they have always failed as if it were a WILD.
So after exiting the lucid, I DEILD. I visualize the last scene I was just in, and it starts to form around me. I get excited, cause it's actually working, and BAM, I'm back in bed. So I do it again, and let it form for longer before I really try to step into it, and it worked! I was successful at a DEILD!!!
So now I'm in my second, and of course, I forget to stabilize for not only the first one, but this one as well. So after about 20-30 seconds, this one ends. So, I wake up laying in bed, and remain still once again, and a few seconds later, BAM, I'm lucid and in a dream again! Three dream DEILD chain!!! I stabilize for this one, and use it to mostly look around the dream scene, and practice my stabilizing.
BTW, going into a construction site, and licking drywall dust makes me cough, and not be able to breath very well in a dream. Didn't expect that, but it was neat to cough in a dream...very unique experience. The sun in this dream was 50% brighter and more intence than I've ever seen in real life. It was amazing.
Also, something about this chain, I felt like I had more clarity, and more control in each successive lucid. I guess my mind was waking up more or something, but it was a stunning difference in clarity and control. It was like rabbit ears in the first one, to vhs in the second one, and BluRay in the third one.
