Hey guys. I've been coming to this site every day for about 4 months. I read over all of the information available and was intrigued at the possibility to have an LD. The first day I visited the site I tryed terribly hard to WILD and got too anxious. I went about 2 and a half months until I had my first LD. To be honest after about the first 3 weeks I stopped trying to have LD's and read the site less and less. One day I woke up after a night of heavy marijuana and alchohol use. I woke up to a friend of mine offering me a cup of cofee. I needed to wake up that day so I drank the cup very quickly, but soon realised I couldn't possibly wake up. After drinking the cup I immediatly went back to sleep. I wasn't up but for about 2 minutes. I lay my head down and heard something I'd never experienced. In my left ear I heard whispers. It was as if a drop of water was hitting my head and each time it did I heard a whisper. Soon I started hearing it in both ears. It was extremly pleasent, but at no point did I even consider the fact that I may be falling into a dream. I fell asleep and what seemed instantly I woke up again. I had completely forgotten about what had just happened. I had to use the bathroom so I got up, and as I started to close my door a girl I live with whom is quite annoying but very attractive came to the door with her shirt off, as if she were going to get in the shower. Her breasts were squarly in my face and I started feeling insecure as she ran off screaming. I looked down and realised I was naked. At this point I was still unaware that I was dreaming. Looking back on this, it scares me that something that would never happen to me in real life didn't trigger lucidity. I flicked the lightswitch to on, and the lights didn't come on. I was lucid. I got excited and started to look in a mirror that isn't actually there in real life. I smiled at myself and out of no where I had a girl bent over in front of me. Although I regularly think about sleeping with women that aren't the girl I am sleeping with now, I chose to have sex with her. I thought this was very interesting. After the experience climaxed I woke up again feeling like my girlfriend was laying behind me holding me. This is a regular occurance, so I was disapointed that the dream had ended. I opened my eyes and flipped over to look at her and she wasn't there. I was lucid again. I don't remember what happened after that, but I'm pretty sure it lasted for a couple more minutes. So this is my first lucid experience. When I woke up I was totally refreshed. I had been EXTREMLY stressed before I had this dream. More stress and anxiety than I had ever experienced in my life. I woke up feeling better than I can remember in a long time. It seems I've been that way sense. For about 3-4 weeks now. Sense I've tryed WILD several times and have realised that after I've woken up if I drink any cofee or smoke any cigs that I'm too "jittery" to fall back to sleep. Although I feel like if I could just get back to sleep I would certainly have another lucid dream. I've been experimenting with MILD as well, and I'm making progress. I'm remembering my non lucid dreams much more often and in greater detail. I find that even if I've forgotten a dream as soon as I wake up that I start to remember it later in the day. I'm becoming more interested in meditation and it seems to be increasing my dream recall and even my awareness of my dreams. Something that I'm interested in is the affects of marijuana on dreaming. I have not been able to find any information on this. I smoke just about every night, but very little. Just enough to relax. I'm starting to think that It is having a stronger affect on my dream awareness than I realise. Recently I had an experience where I was dreaming, and at one point the thought crossed my mind ( in the dream ) that I may in fact be dreaming. I felt semi-aware throughout the entire dream but I certainly wouldn't have called it lucid. That night I had gone to sleep earlier and although I had smoked the affects of the drug had nearly worn off. Anyhow, thanks for sitting through this ridiculously long and rambling post. Thanks in advance for the comments.
