First Lucid!

[Telemachus]

Last night I had my very first lucid after performing WBTB. I did a Reality Check which tested positive, and started walking; rubbing my hands to stabilize the dream. Everything was going fine for about 20 seconds until I saw my parents. Then I started to really question the lucid (thinking about my sleeping self) and I lost lucidity and awakened. How do I prevent this from happening in the future? Cheers, Telemachus

Cheers, Telemachus congrats sir! i have had my first two WILD's as well with the WBTB method. one this tuesday and another wednesday. you can read them my dream journal, i also posted it in the "attaining lucidity" / WILD forum, under the name " my first and second WILD's. i asked for tips on how to help stabalize the dream and also on how to prolong the dream or maintain, a few users posted some very good advise that i believe is what you are looking for. hope it helps! and good luck with the dreams!

congrats sir! i have had my first two WILD's as well with the WBTB method. I'm currently trying doing WBTB with a WILD. Last night I tried to WBTB for my first time but I failed. I can almost WILD before bed and alot of people say that is the hardiest time to WILD so I hope if I combine it with the WBTB method it will be easier for me. Congrates on your first lucid dream! I will post a link to a good tut to read on how to stabilize dreams. I can't now because I'm on my iPod.
