Hi

Hello to everyone who reads this, I'm new to this site and I was referred to this site by trying to figure out if ppl had dreams like I did several nights ago by typing in realistic dreams on google, than one thing led to another and here I am. What made me get into this LD site was that I didn't know that LD's were actually triggered by your subconscious, like telling yourself I'm dreaming, or by doing RC's. I thought they just came normally like any other dream, soon I became interested in the subject cuz it was the most coolest feeling I've ever had being able to fly and breathe underwater; anyway, in my dream I was at my house just laying down normally when all of a sudden I hear a big blast coming from outside my room so I went to go check it out, as I went outside I saw a mushroom cloud and all the ppl around me died blowing into dust I felt a little pressure all over my body making me realize I was dreaming once that happened I looked down and then up jumping high in the air causing me to fly away, suddenly I felt gravity pulling me down causing me to have a long fall (that felt like the dungeon drop from our long gone astroworld in houston tex) anyway as I fell I closed my eyes as I flinched at the ground as I fell closer then I opened my eyes again seeing my room and the bright daylight, I felt wide awake like no time was lost and like what just had happened was a couple of second ago at that point, which brings me this question if anyone can answer. Wouldn't a nightmare be another way of realizing you're dreaming triggering a LD? sorry it was long but I'm excited. :-D thanks

Hi there my friend, Nice to have you in the league. Dreams can tend to be fantastic yet scary sometimes. So prepare to have a ride of your life my friend. Anyways, have you already chosen a suitable technique for yourself? If not, I suggest you check out Mancon's http://www.dreamviews.com/f12/find-o...2/#post1774609 article. Also, I suggest you get yourself a Dream Journal so that you'll be able to record your dreams and aid you in recalling your dreams. Regarding about nightmares as dream signs(term to describe a certain object that triggers a person to be lucid), it is possible. In fact, you can use nightmares at your advantage to be lucid. Just be sure to think first before you act when you're in a nightmare. Most of us thinks that the things inside a nightmare is real and tends to just go along with the dream's story. If you've got questions, feel free to reply back. Hope this helps and good luck in the field of lucid dreaming
