FINALLY!! SUCESS!! My first LD.
Well, after a while I was beginning to give up, I had lost hope and thought I just wasn't cut out for lucid dreaming. Then 2 days ago my computer caught a serious virus and wouldn't turn on, which is the reason why I haven't been on lately. During this time I only had my failures to think about.
I stopped writing in my dream journal, and stopped doing WBTB. But 2 days ago I woke up at 6AM because my cats were fighting. That incident brought me to full wakefulness, and took me a while to go back to sleep. But when I finally did fall asleep, I had a DILD!!. I'm not going to explain the contents of the dream because then this post would be too long, but I became lucid out of nowhere, no dream sign, no cue. The dream ended like 10 minutes later.
The day after I slept through the whole night. But then today, this morning, I once again woke up at 6AM to close the door for my dad cause he was late for work.....this brought me to full wakefulness again. It took me a while to fall asleep again, but when I did, I had a DILD. I was in school and became lucid.....I'm going to post another topic with the details of both dreams inside.
Basically, what I've noticed is that on both occasions, I woke up at 6AM, was fully awake, and didn't think about lucid dreaming at all while returning to sleep. I just kept thinking about how I was playing Gears of War and Halo 2 online, LOL.
Well what else can I say? I'm extremely happy now and confident that LD's will become more frequent now. I think all I have to do is do a brief WBTB, but I have to be fully awake, then return to sleep. I'M SO HAPPY!!
