First Real Lucid!

non-dream non-lucid lucid

I woke up at 3:00. I try WILD although I prefer MILDs but would like to know both. I fall asleep into a false awakening. I am laying in bed. Everything seems as real and normal as always. I look at a piece of paper on my night stand that has a leter 9 on it. I think I might as well do some reality checks. I try telekinesis on something. it dosn't work. I look at the 9. I put my hand over it and imagine it as a 3. I take it off and its a 3! I switch it back and forth to make shure. I realis I must be dreaming. I don't become excited, my subconsious won't alow it because of the autosugestions I did. I finaly did it, I'm lucid. I jump out of bed and run into the family room. My parents are in the kitchen like they always are in the morning. I know there DCs. I say Im lucid dreaming. They deny it like I new they would in a dream. It hurts alot more than I expected. I realy wana show them I'm did it. I try telekinesis on the lego socker ball thats I first did TK on in a dream. It works! I show my parents but they dont realise it. It gets harder to control the ball and I realise I better not wake myself up by doing something to dificult. I jump into the family room as hard as I can and can float myself around the room. I holdmyself upside donw on the ceiling. It feels realy familiar. Like I did it when I was a little kid but it felt normal then. I must have had a non-dream like this when I was a kid. I float back down and I wake up. I think man that was my first lucid but it was realy short. I still don't get excited. Maby this is a false awakening I might as well check. I do RCs and I realise I'm still dreaming. I go back to the family room and my sister comes down stairs. I try and show her im dreaming but she is even worse than my parents. She is nasty and looks at me like I'm crazy and goes back up stairs. I yell at her that she is some discriptive adjective I can't remember. I look above the doreway and there is that discriptive adgective in flashing letters. I yell out "Stop being wierd, dream" in order to keep the dream from wandering. I realise I'm wasting time and need to get some goals done and go on an advennture. I can't go outside without a weapon, I'll get jumped by zombies so I run to my room and go to my closet. I imagine an uzi there and reach in but its not there. I'm not confident enough. My mom walks in the room and is being distracting and not acepting that I'm dreaming. The dream starts to destabilize. I don't have time for a weapong and run down the hallway. I almost reach the front door but everything gets fuzzy. I try to rub my hands together to bring back the vividness but its to late. I can already feel my real hands, paralised were I left them. I slowly transition from lucid to real life. I let it happen because I want to right this down in my dream journal. I take off my sleeping mask I was trying for tonight. I did it! I know its not another false awakening because I can feel the excitment rush over me this time. The fact I couldn't get excited during the dream takes something away from the experience but it was worth it to have such a long first lucid. I start wrighting.

Nice lucid man. I wish my lucids lasted longer, but any lucid is good. I might try auto-suggestion tonight also.

And CV you haven't been lucid yet?

**MadMonkey** · 05-12-2010 04:38 AM

Try and not be to harsh on the stay calm and not get excited autosugestion, it makes the lucid seem sorta emptier while its happening. Just autosugest to control your excitment not completly not get rid of excitment like I did

Ok thanks I will follow your advice. Also how long can your mantra be and how many topics can it include?

**monkeyking** · 05-12-2010 06:38 AM

Tempering your excitement is a good thing at first, even if it feels as if the lucidity is a bit empty. As you become better at staying lucid, you will be able to express your excitement without fading the dream more regularly. Congrats on your success!

I tried one night spaming as many autosugestions in at once to see what would happen and it didn't work to well. It just made me confused in the dream. I new I had to do something but I couldn't even remember what the first thing was. I spent the rest of the dream trying to figure it out. lol

Well done monkey! *high fives* Its fun isn't it. Such an amazing/wierd feeling to know your walking around your subconcious brain. ahahah What time do you think it was when you had this lucid? And was it any specific technique like WBTB or DILD? Partically DILD, right? Cause of how you were sleeping when you did the RCs.

(btw, I don't know if you know or not, but i've noticed numerous times you've spelt 'sure' wrong, with a h.. your grammer seems good spite that word though. haahah Just pointing that out)

**MadMonkey** · 05-13-2010 10:51 PM

I was attempting a WILD but fell asleep and got a DILD. So I supose its a more of a WBTB. It was probably at 4:00am which is the time I always wake up for my first dream recal and is about six hours in. I dont realy bother with stuff befor 3:00 am. Also I do put shure instead of sure alot its a habit. lol
