So a week or two ago, I watched a video on YouTube of a woman talking about LD'ing and reality checks and what not. I haven't noticed any thing in my dreams to start with reality checking, so I went with her suggestions or counting fingers and checking the time (allegedly these are weird in dreams). I was a bit skeptical, just because I couldn't imagine reality checking in dreams.

I stuck at it for this last couple of weeks, doing these checks as often as I remembered (multiple times per day). Today, whilst I was blissfully awake and not dreaming on a huge mountain, ski resort town somewhere in Europe, and after having been turned into a lizard by a witch, I thought 'oh what an odd day, I'll do a reality check'...SIX FINGERS! Six....fingers!! Then I asked someone the time and we just couldn't get it (she said 6am, my source said 10am).

And then I realised, holy shit. I'm dreaming! Immediately I started spinning, I've read it helps, and it really did stop the feelings of waking up!

After a little bit of intense lucidity, it became a bit more mild, I felt lucid, and I was aware I was dreaming but I was sort of confused and didn't really know what to do.

If it matters, I went to bed 11pm and this happened between 6-6:30am.

All-in-all, not as cool as the first, but I definitely feel I'm making progress, and I'm super glad that the reality checks work!
