New here: Hobby retriggered LDs after 7 years

I started Lucid Dreaming in Iraq in 06. I used a method I saw on the interwebs of looking at my watch twice in quick succession every time I check the time. In a dream the watch is supposed to read a different time both times you check it, letting you know you are dreaming. I LD'd 20-30 times over the course of my only year messing with it.

Fast forward to 2013, I started skydiving. After a few months in the sport I started having skydiving dreams. For those familiar with the sport, you have to check your altimeter every few seconds...your wrist mounted altimeter.

So, I have the skydiving dreams, which are wildly unrealistic because there's no auditory or gravitational signatures, just visual, but every time I check my altimeter(which resembles a clock face), the readings are wildly different.

Since my watch check technique was a trigger, I accidentally got back into it and have had five lucid skydiving dreams in the past 60 days or so. It's quite bizarre.

Very cool! Do you not get that falling feeling
when you skydive in your dreams?

Welcome back to lucidity!
Great to have you on DV. :welcome:

I'm not sure what kind of watch you have, but you mentioned a clock face so I'm assuming it's analog.
Generally for reality checks, digital clocks are more reliable, because it's the digits that tend to be unstable in dreams.
I'm sure just thinking about dreaming every time you check the time is a great awareness trigger in itself, though. :)

Congrats on the recent LDs!
Best wishes for many more.
