My 2nd Lucid this week

[Hiros]

I had my second Lucid last night since finding this site. I found this site a couple of weeks ago after having a lucid (I used to randomly have 2 or 3 a year) and had one 2 nights ago and another one last night. It was a short one and I want to ask what you guys think about the problem I had in it. ----- I walked into a test/exam and sat down. I was wearing jeans and shirt but a lot of the other students were naked. I asked the examiner why and he said "It's a hot day, some people want to cool off. It isn't a problem." I decided to take my pants off too, but I was embarrassed to do it in front of everyone. So I thought I would "save it" so I could have some sex and such then "load it" later so no one would know. (Like saving in a video game) Then I realized "You can't save in real life, this is a dream!" I got up and started walking toward the front of the room. I was completely aware and thinking clearer than usual in lucid dreams. I was deciding what I would do, and for the first time ever I actually remembered what I had decided to do in real life if I had a lucid dream. I was going to create a door in the side of the room and open it to find a certain hot celebrity there. I would then chat to her for a while and see what her responses where like, then have some adult fun and probably fly around. Unfortunately the dream immediately started to fade a bit, I rubbed my hands together then looked at them. My right hand was normal, but my left hand was very small and had lots of little post-it notes all over my palm, each with a random letter drawn on it. I wiped them off then looked up and saw the whole scene kind of morph into my ceiling and I thought I was awake. It was a false awakening. I got up and started to write in my dream journal. Can't remember anything else and then I woke up for real. ----- This was the shortest Lucid I've ever had. I'm thinking it might have ended so quickly because this is the first lucid I've had where I could remember what I had wanted to do. Usually I just run off and start flying or searching for a woman and can't think logically and chose what I should do. So perhaps subconsciously I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to achieve what I wanted and so it ended? Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Or perhaps ways to like trick myself into extending it past this point? (other than practice and experience?) I'm willing to have repeated failures until I perfect it, but if there is a shortcut that'd be awesome. I also found it interesting that I became lucid after thinking about doing something that isn't possible in reality. I didn't even need to try and succeed in doing it. Usually I just randomly become lucid, but this one had some logic behind it, yet weird logic. Also, both my lucids since visiting this site have ended in a false awakening, lol. I find that strange since I've never had a FA before in my life.

Hey i think I have what you need. You were talking about your subconscious and how you couldn't make it last because that's what you thought. You should check this link out http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=48095 . Also, nice touch about saving and loading haha never tried that :p

Excellent, thank you. That looks very in depth. I've had the save, load thing in one dream before. A non-lucid. 3rd person perspective, I kept jumping off a balcony into a pool but kept missing the pool and would "load" right before hitting the ground and be back on the balcony Too bad it didn't trigger lucidity back then. Once I get better at lucids I'll try use it then Would come in handy.
