yay, it worked....kinda

one of the things i do to realise im dreaming is to write AID on my hand everyday, cant remember what it means - something induced dream, doesnt matter, anyway im supposed to look at my hand when im dreaming and if its there i know im awake, if its gone or changed slightly i know im dreaming, its never worked before because i never remember to look at my hand  :redface: but last night i woke up i was really confused, i thought to myself, "wait, am i dreaming?", i then scrunched up the corner of the pillow with my hand, it felt really real so i thought no im awake, then i looked at my hand and it was blank, no AID, so i knew i was dreaming, then i thought "oh well" and went back to sleep....in my lucid dream, pisses me off that i didnt do something but its the most lucid dream i ever had, i could have sworn it was real, the pillow felt so real. i think my problem is i like sleep too much, i must suffer from a mild case of narcolepsy or im just a lazy bum because it seems that i not only want to go to sleep all the time in RL but in my dreams too

Its funny how that works huh.  Look at it this way.  Maybe you really needed the sleep and since your brain figured out everything was okay you went back to sleep.

i'd say i do need the sleep, i never go to bed at decent times and therefore may not have the concentration or energy levels to experience any kind of coherent LD, i just like dreaming so as long as i dream thats good enough for me, since reading everything i can on the subject, in the last 6 months my dreaming has gone from about 1 per week to about 1 every night, i have my off nights but it sure is fun , i was a little mad i didnt  have a proper LD there but i recently had something better, my first ever AP experience, funny thing was i had given up on AP and had been reading everything i could on dreams so that when i could eventually LD i could then induce AP from my LD, i guess all the stuff about not forcing it and letting it happen naturally is right, hard when your as impatient as me but hey we live and learn

I hardly ever dream...

I've tried focusing on one thing and trying to like dream about it but nothing...

I can never sleep at night very well either...for some reason i have alot of energy at night and have to be moving around alot...but in the day im not that active.
