Thread: First recorded LD!

and also, what type of lucid technique would this be? just realizing that you're lucid using a dream sign? thanks

Apfelpfankuchen, I'm sorry about your dog.

My dream control is helped when I get "grounded" in my dream (i.e., make it as lucid as it can be) instead of immediately racing to do something before I lose lucidity.

One of the tricks I use to "ground" myself is to "touch" things. By touching.. I mean really "feeling" them. Get into how they feel.. are they hot, cold, smooth, rough, etc. (this also helps me remain in the dream longer).

You may also try to increase your vividness by confidently stating aloud "increase lucidity" or "clarity now".

Just remember that "the deeper the level of lucidity.. the better your lucid experience should be"

This would be a DILD (Dream Initiated Lucid Dream).

hey man congrats on ur lucid dream. You remind me of me when i first started practicing lucid dreaming i would always think of the girl i like. unfortunately when u engage in sexual related things its often really hard to hold on to ur lucid because u tend to lose focus. You need to become stable first and have clarity, just focus on being lcid then worry about changing things, good luck ,man let me knwo how it goes.

That must have been exciting! Think about it, it's your most vivid, lucid, productive, enjoyable and sexy lucid dream since records began!
