Hi there,

I'm new to lucid dreaming. I came across this because I was having some weird dreams which I wanted to find out the possible meaning off and found lucid dreaming in the process. I found the idea of lucid dreaming very interesting and I am now dedicated to trying to be a lucid dreamer.

Anyway I just wanted to say hi and that I hope to become a part of your community and share an experience of mine.

So I've been trying for about a week and a half now and honestly was not expecting any results yet. However a couple nights ago I had my biggest step forward in a dream. I questioned the fact that I may be dreaming. Unfortunately my reality checks failed me. When I questioned if I was dreaming I checked the time on my phone, I turned a way and checked again and I felt as though it was still normal. I also tried to put my fingers through my palm but this failed also. I am now training myself on using blocking my nose as an rc.

This obviously seemes very normal, I failed my reality check and my dream continued... Except now in my dream I was 100% sure everything was real and it was like my mind knew exactly what I would want and I had an overwhelming feeling of happiness. I actually woke up laughing of happiness which I felt was incredibly weird...

I am still very happy that I at least made the progress to question my dream and perform a reality check even if it did fail.
In retrospect the signs were incredibly obvious, but the fact I put so much confidence in my rc convinced me otherwise.

I have always been fairly good at recalling my dreams but I have found now since I'm actively thinking about it I am remembering a dream every night.

Lastly I want to apologise for any weirs grammar issues or spelling because I posted this from my phone. Thanks for reading.
