Hello everyone, I had my first lucid dream in like three weeks and I wanted to tell everyone about a video I stumbled on which I think is what caused me to have a lucid dream. There were many different things I tried last night before going to sleep so I can't say for sure this video is what caused my lucid dreaming, but I'm pretty sure it is...because it's the first new thing I've tried.

I'll tell you all the things I tried to help with dream lucidity. I had a slice of cheese about a couple hours before going to bed (and I heard that helps a lot with dream vividness). Then I also practiced deep relaxation meditation for about 7-10 minutes. I also had some subliminal apps in the background (which I don't think are very effective because I've tried them for a long time with no results). Finally I put on headphones and watched this subliminal video twice (although they say to only watch it once). The video is here: Lucid Dreaming Subliminal Video , you need to go to the second video on that page (the one that says "Part Two"). Watch the second video with headphones on while you are in a relaxed state just before going to sleep. Don't worry you don't need to pay for anything or register or anything else of the sort.

After doing all the above, I had the weirdest set of lucid dreams. It's like I knew I was dreaming but I didn't have that much control over myself. I remember one part where I knew I was dreaming, and I started spinning to stabalize the dream (which works well by the way). In my dream, my friend's mom sees me spinning and she realizes what I'm doing. She tells me, "OMG are you trying to practice lucid dreaming?? I can't believe you actually believe in that crap!!". I just politely ignored her and carried on. There was also a time I'm trying to prove to some people that I'm dreaming by showing them how the time in the microwave kept changing everytime you look at it. While the reading test worked, it seems the hand reality check isn't working that well anymore for me. Before I used to get the most strangest shapes on my hands, including detached fingers, ten fingers, etc....but more recently my hands are becoming more and more realistic in my dreams, like a perfect hand with five fingers.

Anyways, overall I couldn't get what I wanted in my lucid dream. I was trying to meet certain people and I don't know how to manipulate the dream so I can see these people.

Ok, so try that video I mentioned above, and if it works for you then post your results here. I'm probably gonna try again the next few days.
