FINALLY! My Dry Spell is Over!!!

Well, last night I had this dream that I was in some house I didn't recognize. It was on top of a hill, with a wall of windows looking out over this valley. I sat there for a second asking myself "Where in the world am I?" Then, said to myself "Wait a second, are you dreaming???"

I suddenly became aware that I was dreaming and I turned around and there was my sister. I said "Jade guess what, I'm dreaming!" She proceeded to make some rude and real-to-life comment that almost made me lose lucidity. After that I just tried to ignore her. The ceilings of the room were very high, and I decided that I would try to fly. My first few attemts were unsuccessful, but soon I could hover without any problems. I was then able to jump incredibly high/far (not quite flying, but if I have to re-learn everything, I guess that was a pretty good start).

Suddenly my sister shows up again and starts to fly too. I become a little ticked that she's still there and "wish her away". She started to fade, and I continued to hover around the room... All in all, not much happened, but I was so excited that I had actually become lucid after a too-long dry spell (well, any dry spell is too long but this one was almost unbearable). Then I had not one, but two FA's (I stopped doing RC's when I woke up about a week ago, so I didn't do them when I had my FA...crap!) Then, I really woke up (I did an RC this time) and was so excited that I almost couldn't go back to sleep.

I started taking melatonin again, (started just last night actually) so that may have been one of the reasons that I became lucid, and I have been spending more time here, so my mind has been on dreaming a lot. Thanks DV!!! I'm here for good this time!

Having lucky ones like this isn't necasseraly the end of a dry spell. Well, it is, but it doesn't mean you won't go straight back in one.

But can I just ask first, did you get it because you have a habit of asking yourself that same question in real life? In that case it isn't a lucky one and I would say you will most likely have more LDs to come soon.

But if not, then it is most likely a lucky/natural one which happens rarely.

I'm not trying to un-motivate you, I am just letting you know so that you know this.

But, well done anyway, and I know that just the experience of it will help you anyway, so what I said isn't entirely true.

I think (and hope) that it was the result of my practicing RC's and starting to regularly "question" reality. Whenever I see anything out of the ordinary when I'm awake now I question "am I awake?", and now I hope that the habit's being manifest in my dreams.

Oh well that's good then. Well done.

Congratulations =]

Make sure you keep working at the same pace as you are now.

It will probably be a good idea to set some realistic goals now you have your lucid band wagon rolling again.

Yeah, right now I'm working on a list of goals, starting with elementary things that I know how to do already but need to "re-learn" (such as flying) and work up to more difficult tasks as I start to get used to being lucid again.

Thanks for all of the replys!
