Thread: Think I had my first LD

So last night I think I had my first LD. I've been working really hard to do reality checks IWL and generally raise my self-awareness. Just before bed I popped a couple of Vitamin B6 and did my pre-sleep rituals and mantras. In one of my several dreams last night I remember looking at a roman viaduct at the end of a really vividly lush green field. I looked around me and saw rows upon rows of Roman empire soldiers in full battle gear. I looked at myself and noticed the same. At this point I realized something was odd.

So I did the classic Reality check of looking at my hands. Instantly I noticed that they were matte black, and looked like graphite. After this I had a moment of pure clarity and joy as I fully realised I was dreaming. I think after this I panicked and lost control because I didn't manage to jot anything more that happened down in my dream journal.

I would love to know if this was a Lucid Dream. I'm pretty sure it is but i'd love some second opinions. Also some advice on where to go now and how to improve dream control.

Many thanks Dudes

My advice would be to get used to this feeling , as you describe it, of "pure clarity and joy".
Which means getting and staying lucid would be the priority for you.

Dream Control is, in my opinion, a more advanced level. Take your time
