Hey everyone. I'm a beginner dreamer, had my first short LD last night. I've built up decent recall over the last month or so, usually one or two dreams a night. Been reading this board a lot and decided to do a VILD.

Since the best 'starter' LD is flying, I decided to think about the skydive I went on two weeks ago. I thought about being in the plane with the words "reality check" written all over it. I'd been working on this dream for a week and finally had it last night. Looked at my watch for a reality check and was able to jump out of the plane and start flying! It ended quickly but was quite a rush!

So I was wondering - what other life experiences make great starts for LDs? Maybe it's easier to start a LD when the beginning is so out of the ordinary?
