Now time for a gloat
HA! Stupid subconscious, I win Try and hijack my free will while I'm sleeping will ya
I'd all but given up on this. I was just getting nowhere. I had read enough about it, but it just wasn't happening... then...
First thing I remem is seeing a meteor land far away in some trees. Except it looks like one of those outer-space photos of a comet, white with a big fan shaped tail, then some shifty red fire in the trees. Then a line of about 5 fireballs hit, real fake looking, like out of an old computer game.
It was just so cut and paste looking. I just realise this is a dream
First lucid (second to be precise, but first in many many years)
Setting : Outside, not real clear. Near some buildings, grass, a big tree. Maybe a school.
So to test I try jumping. I go up kind slow, and high, like jumping on the moon. OK so I'm finally here Try to stay calm and focus, but just as I gather my thoughts its night time. So I go out on the grass and lie on my back with my eyes closed. I focus intently "I can feel the warm sunlight on my skin. It is daytime" When I get up it's about 11:00AM 8)
So I decide to explore the buildings a bit. Not good. I think there was some shops and a candy stall I got real distracted and forgot I was lucid.
Stupid subconscious and your virtual confectionary Kinda half realised later on but never had the will to do anything about it.
Prob full up to the eyes with candy
Anyway, at least I have an experience to build on
Now I know I can do this.
