Thread: Extremely high and fast jump :D

congrats....lucid dreaming is great isnt it...
first lucid i had i tried to jump off somethiing and woke up with pain
like i had just jumped off a building

I'm new here, and I guess ive been having lucid dreams since I was really young. I totally follow with the superjumping and I guess i would almost say flying too..though it seems more like teleporting.

Really interesting to read some of the dreams people have. Cool place

r3.xoL, congratulations on your first ld!

For all those new to lucid dreaming, I advise that you don't try to set the lucid world on fire your first few dreams.. don't try to do tricks, summon people, etc. Simply go with the flow and take it all in. Get used to what being lucid FEELS like so you can ground yourself in your dreams.. that's when the tricks/stunts can happen.

Your first few dreams simply act like a tourist in a new place.. go sightseeing and take in all the different colors and sounds. You may try to increase your vividness by confidently stating aloud "increase lucidity" or "clarity now" but that would be the extent of control I would recommend for struggling dreamers.

I know when I first become lucid, I have to fight that initial rush of adrenalin. I do this by telling myself to calm down, breathing naturally (or a little slower) and I try to "ground" myself in the 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 increases the vividness of the dream along with helping me remain in it longer).

Also, there is no "try" when you're lucid.. only "do". You must KNOW that there is nothing you can't have nor perform while in your dream.

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

Sure that is not just where your recallability ended?

I bet you did more in that state.. But, chose to forget it.. Even that you forgot!

You appear amused. Does that mean you are fond of the idea?

If you somehow manage to share a dream with me.. we'll discuss it then.
