Two weeks after reading this article I had a lucid dream, much in the same way you had your first lucid dream– by realizing an inconsistency.
The first thing I wanted to do, of course, was fly. I tried, but all I could really manage was levitating because I was so excited! Then I had a false awakening but went back to sleep and had another lucid dream by realizing that I couldn’t read anything.
Yet alas, I woke up (for real) probably out of excitement.
Thanks for posting; your article was humorous and helpful!

I just had my first lucid dream last night (a few days after I stumbled upon this lovely article). All I can say is “AWESOME!” The dream was very interesting, I can only remember a few details (including riding my bike down a VERY steep hill O_O) and I remember doing the ‘reality check’ by trying to read the road signs. Alas, I woke up. I woke up and was all excited that I had to tell somebody that I just had my first lucid dream. But first, I had to do the reality check. I don’t know what I checked but it seemed to pass. (I think it was just one word - should have checked more words) Then, my alarm clock rang and I actually DID wake up. xD I wish I had spotted that it was still another dream. xD I shall try again tonight~

I’m VERY excited to try this! I’ve never really heard anything about lucid dreaming except in passing, although I have done this on accident a bit–I’ll be in a dream, and then something along the lines of “Is this a dream?” will wander about somewhere in my mind, but it’s like I’m reading a very good book–I’m too involved in the plot of my dream to really notice. Generally another sign is–for me at least–are you looking from your PoV, or are you looking at yourself in third person? During most of my dreams, that seems to be what happens, is that it’s very cinematic, and I’m looking at myself from the outside, which, though it really should be a big indicator that, “HEY! This isn’t real!” Its….not. >.< Anywho, very excited to try this, thanks a bunch!

Okay, I’m still a bit unclear. Ever since I was a little girl I’ve been able to take part in my dreams, as in consciously making decisions in them and being aware that I can do so. I was told that this is lucid dreaming, and I htought - hey cool! I’m a natural. This article almost makes me think that what I think is lucid dreaming is not. Although it is a good article, I’m still not altogether clear on what EXACTLY constitutes lucid dreaming. Is it the participation in your dream and the experience of the feelings that are a part of it, or is it the experience of a particular adventure or journey of your choosing from scratch and not as part of another dream?

Thanks for writing this, I can’t wait ot try it!

I used to have Lucid Dreams as a child, but the false awakenings often left me with wet sheets when I thought I had gotten up to go to the bathroom, I was only about 8 years old. I hope if I can acheive a lucid dream again, it will be a much dryer situation LOL!

I will post it if I can get one to work.

Thanks!!

i have been having lucid dreams for as long as i can remember, but also just found out what they were called. and yes, they are an amazing gift. i have been continuing to try and explore the depths of my mind.. to push forward with lucid dreaming. i am up to having one almost every night, but also have trouble with false awakenings. the first thing i do when i realize i’m dreaming is try to float above the ground, and if i succeed i’m obviously dreaming. from there i start flying away from wherever i am to where i want to go. flying is my favorite thing to do while lucid… you should all try it,
another tip is to look at clocks routinely and then in your dream when you look at a clock, they numbers are all screwed up, maybe letters or other symbols and you’ll realize you’re dreaming. Good luck!
