First "Real" Lucid Dream!

[Tsunami]

I had my first WILD last night! It resulted in me having my first Lucid Dream with self control. I even had some Dream Control and managed to do the task for the month of asking a turkey about thanksgiving! Here is how it goes! I instantly bent down and grabbed an object off my messy bedroom floor. It was a necklase. I then looked at its detail thinking this is a dream. I smelled it, it smelled normal. I then licked it. Then I moved my muscles and it felt great! I then stood up and felt my desk. This was the greatest part of the dream for me because I had been doing the same thing in real life and having a Lucid Dream that night did not seem possible. Then I thought "Right...time to fly" I then saw my sister and a friend of mine come in. I must have lost lucidity a bit because I started to think it was a shared dream. But they helped me with control! I wanted to make it light outside my bedroom window I tried to. Nothing, I tried again. Then my sister my friend reminded me of passive control. I said alright then. I said something along the lines of did the news report last night not say it was going to be light. OMG it worked. My first Dream control. I went outside. I was rapidly losing it now. I could not fly. I used passive control and everything. I jumped off a wall after a while. ( I did this in rehearsal the night before!!! ) But still could not do my ultimate goal despite getting slighty annoyed and shouting " ITS RESERVE GRAVITY DAY!. So I went inside. I looked out the window but was to scared to jump. I then said to my sister n friend " we need to find a turkey". We went into my sisters bedroom and there it was. I bent down and said " What do you think of Thanksgiving" it replied something along the lines of " Cannibalism ... complete" I then lost lucidity. Possibly due to being overexcited. I woke up pretty damn happy at around 5:00. I wrote it down then drifed off to sleep. Trying to get another Lucid.

Cool!! Congratulations!! DCs helping! Mine try to distract me. Fuck them!! And you remembered the turkey!! Impressive! How come none has replied yet?? So, how did you get your WILD? This is the first time i read something about passive control. I had done it sometime, but never thought of making a habit out of it. I think i'll try it for my hardest goals. So, congrats again. May you have many more.

May you have many more. Thanks wisp! I wish i could help you about your DC problem. Yep every night as I go to sleep I rehearse my goals. That night it was to fly and find a turkey so it works. For the WILD, I woke up at 3:00 in the morning and sat up out of bed in darkness for 5-10 minutes. Then I went back to bed focusing on my brethe I gave up after 30 mins and then tried again. After a while I did Clarity's alphabet method and it worked. Last thing I can remember before being lucid instantly in the dream in getting up to E the second time round. Passive control worked for me really well and I am glad you are going to try it!

Ok, i'll try the alphabet. I don't have much faith though. WILD are really hard to me, because i have trouble getting to sleep. Insomnia all of my life. I've learned to control it somewhat, by thinking nothing. If i try anything, i don't fall to sleep. If i wake up in the middle of the night (to go to the bathroom, for instance), i have to think nothing while i'm awake, or i might be unable to sleep again that night. So getting up and reading about LD would be to no avail. This morning i've been trying to get a WILD, and i actually got several, totally unrealistic, totally weak, short (about 1 second each), unstable, no control... I don't count those. I used a method that worked for me once, a year ago. While being awake, laying on my back, with my arms to my sides, i imagined passing my hand in front of of my face, till it looked real. When it did, i started clapping my hands till it felt real. When it looked and felt real, i was already dreaming. A landscape had appeared, and i remained lucid. It was cool.

I'm so glad it worked for you! Ok, i'll try the alphabet. I don't have much faith though. Ah.. ye of little faith! I used a method that worked for me once, a year ago. While being awake, laying on my back, with my arms to my sides, i imagined passing my hand in front of of my face, till it looked real. When it did, i started clapping my hands till it felt real.
