Thread: My First Ld

I did the wbtb thing as I do every night that’s just my sleeping pattern but today I couldn’t be bothered to WILD. To be honest I haven’t done that many wilds and none have worked so far. Any way I fell asleep and woke up straight away and did the RC (nose one) and I could breath. Then I realized I was dreaming. To make sure I tried to move objects with my mind, putting my hand out in front of me like magento or something and sure enough I could move glasses and beer cans but not very well. Soon as they moved I was defiantly sure it was a dream.

First thing I did was to try and fly through the roof but I jumped and smacked into it. I couldn’t walk through the wall either, I had small success like I would get half way into the wall but I would get pushed back out. So I just jumped through the window instead and flew off into the air. Flying didn’t seem to be much of a problem. I would lose control at times, either go to high or fall back to earth but if I concentrated each time I flew it was easy. My house wasn’t where it was supposed to be and I couldn’t change my surroundings at will. I had small success eg I wanted to go to LA so I would imagine it over the hill, the surroundings over the hill had changed but it wasn’t LA. Then I got bored of flying and though ill see if I can bang holly valance. I couldn’t conjour her up in front of me, so I imagined her being in one of the houses in the dream landscape and flew to it. She was supposed to be waiting for me but when I entered the house there was a party going on and every one was waiting for me. I go up stairs and sure enough holly is there only she doesn’t look exactly like her. We start to get it on but I felt myself start to wake up so I stopped and span around then flew out the window for some more flying and showing off to DCs that I could fly. I also noticed that each time I would look into the distance it would change, I would see tall buildings but then the next time there would be mountains or something.

I had another false awakening and did the RC but this time I couldn’t breath.. but I knew I was still dreaming, I tried to move objects with my mind again and it worked. Then I tried to make energy balls shoot out my hand but I couldn’t do it no matter how hard I tried and i tried for a while but nothing. Flew out the window again this time it was day time and really sunny but almost the same dreamscape as before I had a false awakening. I tried to fly up to space but every time I got near to the atmosphere it got dark and there was loads of what looked like floating bodies and I would hear a sinister laugh from a woman and fall back down but I would land on my bed. Except I still new it was a dream, so I tried it again and got the same laugh. Then I woke up.

I have a few questions. I know I will only do in a dream what my mind believes. I know it was a dream so I could fly and move things with my mind, but why could I not shoot energy balls and conjour DCs at will and change my exact dreamscape. Does this come with practice?
