Thread: 2 in one night, and im just starting :)

Hi guys,

Ive been trying to Lucid Dream for a few months now, on and off. I used to keep a dream journal, untill i stopped for a couple of months. Now im getting back into it, because i miss the challenge of the dreamworld. Ive had one or two lucid experiences before, where i would realise i was dreaming but lose control very fast.

The last time this happened i told myself to next time stay calm and practise the control techniques from the site.

Well last night I was dreaming that I needed to get to the shop via a dog sled. This was a bit ridiculous and i realised on my way to find the dogs that i was dreaming. I was in the street where i lived and i just took complete control. It was as if i was genuinely walking up my street. Instead of going crazy and trying all this cool stuff, i decided to just feel it and experience the dreamworld. It was so incredible, everything was so vivid and real. I just took a walk up the road and went back home, met a few dream characters and ran my fingers through the sand and the grass.

I remember reading about a thread on Dreamviews where people were arguing about whether you were really conscious during a lucid dream. Seeing that this was my first experience, that was the first thought that popped into my head. I knew exactly where i was at the time (in my bed) and i knew that i was dreaming.

The second one i had was a few hours later, after i woke up during the night. It was also in my street, and very similar except this time i was hanging out with some friends and trying to convince them i was dreaming. This of course ended the dream quickly.

I just wanted to comment about how you dont have to have extravagant lucid dreams to have fun. Especially your first time. I just enjoyed the scenery and went for a plain old normal walk thinking and looking around, and it was the most awesome experiene ever. I cant wait for more
