Thread: A few thoughts on Lucid Dreaming

I'm very new to lucid dreaming and have only succeded two or three times. Everytime they were DILD's. In the dream, I just spontaneously had a thought: "I'm dreaming." and from that point I could do many things that one can't do in the real world, but there were still some restrictions on what I could do. A little problem I had all of the times are that I often lose the lucidity after a while, like the last time, just after I obtained lucidity, I thought: "I have to go to school!" and then I thought: "Why not fly there?". Said and done. I had a pretty hard time getting up in the air, but once up, I took off with incredible speed towards school. So fast in fact, that I totally missed school by several kilometres! Then, when I turned around and started flying back again, I suddenly lost control and fell to the ground. After that, the dream ended and I woke up.

I have never tried to practice dream recalling, and those three times that I remember experiencing lucid dreaming, I was just lucky because I woke up just after the dream. Now, I don't want to start talking to myself before sleep, because my parents sleep in the room next to mine, so they might be a little concerned if they hear me repeating a sentence 20 times , and by the same reason, I can't have an alarm clock going off every hour-and-a-half, because my parents would wake up too. I'll just have to hope that I have a lucid dream right before I wake up in the morning, or that I develop som uber skills to remember all of my dreams without having to wake up and write them down

So, I just found out about this site, and how to train one self to control dreams, and I hope that I can achieve something.

I just thought I'd mention some dream signs and other interesting things of mine. Several dream signs that I have had are that I see myself in third person, a dream sign that I've hade since I was about 5 years old, and which reoccur in almost all of my dreams. Another dream sign I've had is that I'm doing completely impossible things like breathing underwater, which I did in a particular dream when the entire town I was in sunk, and I had to breathe underwater to survive. I can also remember that I often find myself in places that are places I know and recognize, but they look nothing like what they do in real life.

A little "problem" I've had is that I can never see a dream clearly, exactly EVERY dream I've ever had has been all hazy and blurred, so I can't get all the excitement from the dreams, which has become quite a roadblock for me when it comes to lucid dreaming, somewhere deep inside my mind I think: "Why bother trying to control the dreams when I can't see them clearly?"

Well, I think that is all from me for now, some thoughts on lucid dreaming. Goodbye to you all and have a nice night in control!
