Thread: Randomized Lucidity

Ya, I called this randomized lucidity(DILD) cuz I got lucid w/o any reality check, it was weird. I'm being optimistic about this and considering that I may not need reality checks in the future as much, since they hardly represent themselves in my dream...but nonetheless, I still practice them, just in case.

So, I awoke lucidly in my dream, and I did several different fantasy-like things, like do something romantic with an old high school crush, and fly!! (which I practiced quite a bit) I was surprised how similar some people looked compared to real life. I was even able to conjure up people by willing them to come out around the corner of a building...

My dream almost faded a few times, and I remembered that focusing on a point would wake me up, so I resulted to my peripheral vision, taking everything in holisticly; then...everything stabled up. I was happy I overcame my newbie mistake of not staying calm. Staying calm sure is worth it...

When I do weird things in a lucid dream, I still feel self conscious about the dream characters watching me, like in real life, even though I assumed they were not real. My explanation is that I'm so used to the feeling in real life, I merely attached it to any biped that I might witness...anybody else feel this way? I think this kinda feeling may prevent or hinder full-fledged lucidity, but I'm sure I'll get over it.
