First Real LD.!!!!

[weagle]

It takes time and practice soon as you can LD a lot of times you will be able to control it more your subconscious has not been programmed to do anything but be aware you are dreaming.  Still its a great start I haven't gotten farther than my bedroom and I have started to control my dreams I just have to remind myself next time I obe or realize I am dreaming that I will do something in it so its prepared to do it ie go to the real time zone or do whatever I want it to accomplish in my dream state.  Its freaky the same things you do in meditation ends up in your lucid dreams like if you do body awareness exercises with deep breathing (with your stomach) I had virtual obe experience where I obe'd and was saying to myself I better breath deeply so I can stay in this mode longer and it kinda worked feeling even more energy in my dreamstate actually when I woke up my arms were numb that was a sign it was a truly controlled obe within a lucid dream.  Some tips to make you more lucid in your dream is to stare at a fixed object in your dream that will make you more aware you are dreaming maybe even help you control it one time I did that and then was aware I was dreaming then I didn't want to see it anymore(started closing my eyes on it) and it literally shut down went black and I was in my bed in my body looking through my closed eyelids then I slipped out of my body.  You can try that next time.

David! Cool!

SOrry to hear that you couldn't control things as you hoped. I'm sure there are many ideas about why that might be.

For what it's worth, I don't always find things to be the way they are 'supposed' to be from books and other people.  I am basically finding my own way with my own experiences....

What I see for myself, is that the more aware I am, the more concrete the environment is. So  very lucid dream is harder to change than a mildly lucid dream. But your experience may be different in the future.

Also, my first LD was very very lucid (and concrete) because of the startle of being dreaming and conscious at the same time. Since thenm to my dissappointment, the LDs are not as concrete --- more like ---- "Oh big deal, another LD."

Anyway, keep at it, see what you find.

Thanks , Patty.
I Think that the problem was that i was not concetrating or using enough "brain power". This is something that i must work at.

Last night I dreamt that I was riding my motorcycle at 12:30 at night. Nobody was on the street and it was very quiet outside, just like any other night at that time.
All of a sudden, I realized that the darkness was missing. I was complete daylight. Then I realized that I must be dreaming. After that I was sure that I was dreaming.
The first thing that I decided to do was to make it dark outside. So, I tried to will it to become dark but that didn't work. I then tried to make myself believe that it was dark, but that didn't work either.  
I then realized that I could turn this into an OBE or AP. I tried to think about my body back at home in bed, but nothing happened. I then tried to think about the history of my life in order to place myself in the right perspective or to "ground" myself, but nothing worked. It was like I was stuck in a reality that I couldn't leave or get out of.
I started to become scared, I tried telling a friend about my situation but he couldn't help. I tried to tell a policeman, but neither could they help.
In the end I started praying to god that he help me out of this situation. My level of consciousness slowly started changing and I made sure not to move or to disturb the process in any way that I deemed possible.

I ended up back in my bed.
Could anyone please help me make any sence of this? What went wrong? why could i not controle anything. or return to my body.

thanks
