Thread: my first night of great LD's

i go to bed last night while doing a mild... SUCCESS!! my first induced LD . there wasnt really anything special about the dream details, but it was a lot more real than the 2 ive had in the past (that was when i had no clue what LD's were). i didnt like the scene that i was in, it was dark and foresty, but fortunately nothing nightmarish. i remembered reading something about going to a bridge and having a river of scenes below it, and right after that thought there was a bridge + river, so i go onto it, but there were no scenes below me to jump on, so i get off the bridge and keep walking down the shore of the river. then i remember the spinning technique and the prolonging technique's where you look at your hands and the ground. I look at my hands, then the ground, then i start spinning. i get into another scene, which is an indoor kids park, and i quickly lose lucidity for some reason. then I woke up (in reality), its about 3.5 hours since i fell asleep, and my stomach is a little upset, so I try and go back to sleep. well an hour later i decide that maybe i can try a WILD since i was feeling a little better... SUCCESS!! but it didnt happen the way i think it was supposed, it seems like i fell half way asleep, then bolted back into reality, then at that point i felt some tiny vibrations, then it felt like there was painless electricity shooting through my body (is that normal?), and i felt paralyzation, and then the dream started... the only way i can describe it is like staring at a black t.v. screen, then being thrown into it, then the t.v. turning on. i didnt see the shapes and the scene slowly form, they just came at me in about a second. i heard an errie moan, then i saw a zombie-like creature standing over me in a bedroom that looked like it was from the 1800's. well it didnt take me more than half a second to figure out it was gonna be a nightmare, so i tried to wake up by forcing my eyes open... success!! wait... no, it was a false awakening lol (my first one! ) i didnt trust that scene either, so i again forced my eyes open, and it worked. i didnt want to get to grounded into reality so quickly did a reality check and went directly back to sleep and attempted a wild again. well in about 30 seconds i achieved a wild (im confused on how thats possible ) this time i found myself in my downstairs bathroom looking into the mirror, and i looked exactly like myself. i looked at my hands and the ground to get me deeper into the dream, and it worked, but it wasnt as crystal clear as i was hoping. i had a thought to try and create a person, and right after that thought i saw a blobby shape slowing morphing into a fat kid. i figured my subconcious was trying to create him but it was having difficult since my thoughts were focused on the detail of the dream world. so i close my eyes and picture what my old girlfriend looked like. i open my eyes and find myself in my upstairs bathroom, i see in the mirror behind me is a girl that is identical to her. i turn around and there she is. the dream was fading a bit so i looked at my hands, then my feet, and everything became so incredibly vivid... i decide to test out my senses by giving her a kiss, and it felt just as real as the real thing, i didnt get TOO carried away with it, but i admit i enjoyed it . after a second or two of kissing her i lost lucidity and went into a regular dream phase. wow this was quite a post, but i must say it deserved this many words as it was the most incredible thing that ever happened to me... 8)

a toast- to lucidity and all those who venture into the depths of their subconcious and/or the astral plane
