Hey guys. so ive been really interested in lucid dreaming and shit ever since i saw the movie Waking Life and over vacation i was trying to WILD a shit load and stuff and i couldnt quite get it. Now school has started back up so i cant WILD so ive been doing the repeated reality checks in waking life and all that stuff and then last night i did this thing i had read in someones WILD tutorial on this site. I sort of "talked" to my subconscious while i was laying there trying to sleep and told it that i needed its help to remember my dreams, to do reality checks in my dreams, and to become lucid. i then fell asleep rather quickly and in my dream i was talking to my mom and something bad had happened then she said something like "oh well, its ok. its only a dream!" and then i was suddenly aware of the fact that i was dreaming and got really excited and things sort of faded so i calmed down. I dont remember a lot of it but i do remember that i tried to fly and i could get myself to sort of hover or float when i jumped so then i thought maybe i could do it if i said something verbally. so i yelled "I want to Fly!" or something like that and jumped and my body sort of just lifted and i flew. The only big part of the dream i really remember tho is that i was in a store with some people from my school and we were trying to get food but no one had money and i kept thinking to myself that since it is only a dream...it doesnt matter if i just take it and walk out of the store...so i did and the clerk didnt even notice me. When i got outside, everything around me looked like a barren wasteland, maybe like the aftermath of a horrible war that destroyed everything. But off in the distance i saw mountains and then i was suddenly on the roof of the building(store) and i was trying to get myself to fly over to the mountains. around that point is when i woke up. Then i thought about my dream and realized i had just had my first lucid dream. incredible stuff.
