Oh wow! So this is Lucidity!!??

I'm not sure where to start, I am so excited!! After 3 nights of going to bed with a purpose to become lucid, I not only achieved my goal of becoming lucid on purpose for the first time, but I accomplished more than I thought I could at once!
It is odd, but my LD occurred during a False Awakening. There were a few FAs in this dream. I became lucid by holding my nose and breathing in. When my lungs filled, I knew I was dreaming!! I was so excited. The first thing I did was attempt to fly, which I did. I have flown in dreams before, this this was different! I flew like Superman! And I was telling other people that we were dreaming, and I was having them pinch their noses and breathe!
What a great feeling! I feel like I just won an award for something amazing. I literally put my hands over my head and silently cheered for myself after I woke up.

The dream is lengthy and may be hard to follow as there are FAs and attempts at a WILD while dreaming, but I try to explain it well. Please read it, as I am so excited and I want people to share that excitement. I told my mom, and she was like, "Do you have my credit card?", so not a whole lot of love there.

What I believe helped was the following:
I gave my subconscious a name, and used it a lot last night.
I got up this morning for about 2.5 hours before going back to bed, the whole time reading on this forum.
Doing the ol' "pinch your nose and breathe" RC a few times before going to bed.


What an experience! I can't wait til I have to sleep again! Thanks for taking the time to read my post!

Wow, good for you. o/
But did you stay up for 2.5 hours?

Yes, I was awake for 2.5 hours, well up and about for 2.5 hours. I was actually AWAKE from 6:00 to 7:15 before I got up. Almost 10:00am I went back to bed.

Congrats on the LD! :D It's an amazing feeling, isn't it? Keep up the great work!

I have been flying in dreams for as long as I can remember, but to stay in the air, I had to, get this, DOGGY PADDLE. I suppose since the closest thing to flying is swimming, my mind had that barrier. When I was lucid, at first I just floated. Then I reassured myself that I could do better, and I just put my arms out in front of me and flew.
Next time you're lucid, don't try to fly. Turn into Peter Pan. That should take care of it.
:D
Good luck!

congrats on the LD!!! :party:

I just had one last night pretty much the same way. I woke up at about 4am and couldn't get back to sleep. Then at about 5am I was wide awake, so I :hump: -ed my boyfriend, got some water, and FINALLY fell asleep around 7am, and I had a lucid. I sometimes attain lucidity from FAs too, so good job there as well. :goodjob2:
