Thread: My first LD

I had my first LD a few days ago when I was on a school trip to china! It was a nightmare and I was in an apartment, but I remember thinking, this is it, I'm dreaming and then I dived out of the window, dropped 20 storerys and flew before I hit the ground, then I destroyed my persuer in the apartment by making fire spring from my hands. Then I lost lucidity. Sorry if I sound stupid, nobody probably wants to hear it I'm just very happy because I finally got one. The funny thing is I stopped using my dream journal.

cool.

Lucidity in nightmares is great. It may not be as fun as a positive-themed lucid dream, but it takes the edge off nightmares...and, I think, increases your chances of becoming lucid in future nightmares and getting away from or defeating your enemies. "This is awful. Maybe I'm dreaming."

Congrats on your first!! I wish you many more!

Congratulations on your first LD!

I don't wish anyone nightmraes.. but if they occur, may you always become lucid and then go on to enjoy the dream.

Thanks everyone, the only thing is I was only semi-lucid, I was only half in control of it. I could think what I wanted to do but I couldn't make my body do it, it was like my body was a person I was asking to do something and it could refuse me.

^^I think it's all practice... I've only had a few lucids because I keep fucking up my sleep pattern like an idiot, but every time I've had more control. Keep at it, and you'll get there, I promise!
