Second Lucid dream!!! Very very Strange

[The Guardians]

Well the lucid dream came first but only lasted a short time. That night I read up on lucid dreaming, not that much, but enough. I read something on checking your hands in a dream and they are almost always distorted. Well All I remember is that I was standing in some place, I don’t know where but I was just there…Well For some reason I was Lucid Immediately. I checked my hands and noticed they were VERY distorted. I only had a “thumb” and forefinger but they were both little stubs…Than I did the breath check by putting my finger over my nose and trying to breath, of course, I could, so I than knew I was in a dream.. I thought that I might loose it so I started yelling “YOU”RE DREAMING” Over and over to myself. But I lost the dream not soon after and fell back into a normal dream…

Congrats mate! Hope you make it last longer next time I still dont understand how a LD looks, is it like normal life as in everything feels, looks, sounds normal or is it like a dream as in you can tell its in your mind?

Well, it was very VERY convincing to real life.I could "feel" gravity And I could "see' my hands. Except, when I looked at my hands and KNEW they were wrong, it got a little blurry, like when you hop into a chlorine filled pool or ocean and rub your eyes...But I got such little time there It was hard to actually take in everything. But from what I felt, it was very very real. As real As me sitting here typing this message... Oh and to eleborate, I have had MANY MANY Lucid dreams throughout my life and they all seem as real as day, I mean down to every little mark or scratch on things. This is just my second "forced" Lucid dream

well, I just had a little nap and tried my best to have a LD. I was goin and to help me to relax and concentrate I dreamt I was with Drop Dead Fred (from the movie) and he was trying to get me out of bed to play pranks. He was pulling on my feet and dragging me by my ears but we couldnt get me out of bed. My body was just lying there. In the end I had to say to him that I have to dream that im out of bed. So I did. It wasnt real but it was fun. We were walking together down my road and every time my real body got a tingling feeling and vibrated I was like "Wait Fred, my body is moving, I gotta get back inside" so we ran back to my body. It was acutally working and my body was getting lighter and number. I even promised Fred that when I had my LD I would make sure he was there. lol However, my mum came in!!! ARGHH! She woke me up, so Im going to wait about 30 mins then try again. Get myself in the same dream. Now I know how real it is, I can keep on going till it gets that real.

Very good, but remember not to force it. I tried to force it alot of times and nothing but dissapointment came. but after reading up on the site and just relaxing I came into the lucid dream.

Congratulations The Guardians; This is but the first few steps but I know everytime I get a lucid it really helps me to keep pushing forward

hey thats so cool! i am trying hard to concentrate and become aware in my dreams i think its working slowly... i think spinning in your dream should help you focus and stay lucid and yelling 'youre dreaming' was a good idea - keep doing that. (that hand bit is so funny! - stubs! LOL )

[The Guardians]

Well, Im just hoping I can keep this up.I mean this dream was ALOT longer than my first..well you could consider this my third dream because my "first" was about a second long...My "second" was like 4 or 5 seconds.....This one was a good 10 seconds long,may not seem like much but it was amazing...It showed me I can do this

[Regalecus]

funny, my usual RC is to check my hands, but in my dreams they always look normal, my RC only helps me to question the physicallnes (sp?) of the world im in stubs... hehe

[Andromeda]

yeah, every little helps! keep recalling those lucid dreams even if they last for one second! (Regalecus - my hands look normal too! - maybe we should try something diferent - i read about trying to put your finger through your palm?)
