Thread: The first attempt and first achieved LD

Congratulations Avicenna, and welcome to the forum.

This wasn’t only a lucid dream, it was an Adventure!!! I also had my first experience with lucid dreams a couple of years ago while practicing Astral Projection. It just happened after some days I started practicing and it was a DILD as well. Back then I was impressed with the fact that in the lucid dream you can see the world with more detail and brighter colors than real life.

As for your questions:

1) I cannot answer that but I will advise you to practice some of the lucid dreams exercises every day and have a schedule to what to do while you become lucid (ex. You can try to learn to fly) as the lucid dream doesn’t actually differ much from a normal dream and you will find difficulty to think clearly. You may also alternate between normal and lucid dream. When you become lucid don’t get too excited, stay calm and enjoy the lucid environment.

2) The dream environment is a delicate and complex structure directly created from our subconscious mind which have enormous power compared to our normal conscious mind. The dream scenery, the people and its behavior, animals, wind, gravity and light are all interpreted to our 5 senses by the unconscious mind. Trying to change the dream environment need very delicate, absolute and strong thoughts. You have to be specific for what you want to do and do not press the dream too much otherwise the dream environment will scatter and additionally you may lose all the optics, physics and body control. The worst it may happen is to wake up and lose the rest of the lucid dream.

3) Usually you can have one lucid dream every 2 to 3 nights, as the whole experience needs a recovering period. It is also depends on how tired you are. Also I have seen a very good correlation between chakra activation and energy rise exercises, as the lucid dreams become more frequent, clearer, more stable and have longer duration.
