Thread: The Grape Soda Experience.

My first (since I've been attempting to LD) lucid dream was caused by cans of grape soda.

I woke up this morning around sunrise, the sky was very orange, and I realized I was late for my dentist's appointment. I walked over to my desk and on it I saw my cell phone and a pyramid stack of Grape Soda. Usually in my dreams I would find this rather normal, but this time was different. For some reason I realized I drank the last of the grape soda the day before and I realized it was rather strange that they were stacked in a pyramid shape. I did a reality test. I tried to read the title written on the cover of a book on the table. The title kept changing and I was unable to read it.

I was sure that I was dreaming. So I took a step away from the table to look around my room. But soon the world started to fade to white (probably because of my excitement) and gradually:

I

Fell

Into

Another

Dream.

But I'm not sad, I got to be lucid for a few seconds.

Aw nice Crash! Congrats, at least on being conscious enough to do a reality check!

Next time, try the red [b]Shasta instead!

Schweet! Having sufficient consiousness to realize that you're dreaming is the first, hardest, and most significant step in a succesful DILD. Keep at it, and you'll get some awsome rewards. 8)

...Unless you have an experience like I had last night:

Dreaming that a tooth of mine was loose, pulled it out - then all my other teeth were loose as well. Figured I was dreaming. Did TWO reality checks:

1) Checked my dream check bracelet (an RC method I came up with)
2) Jumped up to see if I could levitate or fly

BOTH failed!! WTF is up with that??!! I guess it's more important that you actually BELIEVE you're dreaming - or else reality checks fail!
