The mind is a crazy place. I had tried to "train" myself to dream lucidly 5 months ago, but lost interest. Then lately I've been having extremely clear dreams that I could recall well, down to dialog which is uncommon for me. Then last night I did it without even trying. It was extremely short - maybe 10 - 15 seconds. I had been dreaming about killing vampires in a dark mansion and some poor girl got mauled or something. The scene changed and I could see her sitting with a friend on a couch eating popcorn when the fact that I was dreaming hit me like a brick. I said "holy crap, I'm dreaming aren't I?" - the girl shook her head yes and I felt this wave that made me tingly and dizzy, like I was spinning. After that I felt in control and clear. When I tried to move, the excitement woke me up - I tried to calm down, but it was too late. I felt that same spinning motion the other morning when it's common for me to dream blindly - I'll be half asleep and hearing or imagining crazy thoughts like a dream, but I can't see anything. I noticed my state of half-sleep and that same spinning feeling came over me, but I was still in the dark. I wonder now if I entered a dream, but couldn't see it. Both times I woke up with a nasty headache. |

I sometimes think LDs are uncontrollable, because I have'nt had one in over 2 weeks. |

By training, I didn't mean formal training. I was referring to teaching your mind to notice things out of the ordinary, how to stay calm, and how to control your dreams. |

I just had my second LD. In my first one I woke up because of the excitement, but this one, I was doing something really wierd and then realised I was dreaming. Then I got this warm feeling and everything went black. I tried to materialize a door in front of me, but it didn't work. So I said "When I will turn, there will be a door there." And I turned, and a door was there. Now, the dream got all blurry so I tried spinning and it didn't work. Now to the question: Is there anything else I could have done to stay in the dream and not wake up? |

Try rubbing your hands against eachother,or focus on your hands,feet or an object,also for me verbal commands tend to help..just yell out like.. |
