Thread: most real LD was during school?

Hello

I have been reading all the techniques and waking myself up at night for months with only 2 LDs before today, neither of which were very real. I could see things, but couldn't feel them and they weren't clear.

Today I woke up at 6:30 after 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. By second period (around 9:10) I was back asleep, and slept uninterupted again until 10:00. By 10:07 I had found my way to an empty room and laid on the floor to sleep some more.

I first noticed I was dreaming because I had been dreaming I was walking around the room I was in, but then I was woken up and found myself on the floor. The dream was very real, so I told my subconscious (named shupar22) we would have an LD.

At first I thought I was still awake because I was on the floor and it was extremely real. As a matter of fact, when I spoke in my dream I was convinced I was speaking in real life too for how real it was. To make sure I was dreaming I pushed a big hole in the floor (which felt like playdough). Then I got up and jumped through the window. I fell strait to the ground (which was about 5 stories in my dream). It was cool.

Anyway, the point is, that for all of the months of trying to get LDs from the techniques I've read, and from everything I know about REM this doesn't make any sense. I had been awake for 3 hours, and only after a little more than an hour I had the most intensly real LD I have ever had. Really the only realistic LD I've ever had. Just maybe some food for thought I guess. I've been reading stuff here forever and never contributed anything of my own so I thought it was time.
