Here’s a interesting anecdote about how I acquired the ability to lucid dream just about each night I sleep.
I learned about lucid dreaming when I was coming up on 19 years old.
I was just a curious teen browsing the internet,
And…
There was this interesting article that I had uncovered, an article about dreams. after the article, I delved into more writings about dreams. These writings led me to some exceptionally compelling articles about controlling your dreams., they coined it lucid dreaming.
I hadn’t heard anything about controlling dreams before, but these articles assured me if I gained the ability of Lucidity in my dreams, I would be able to do near anything I desired. Of course that intrigued me, as it would anyone else.
So I tried, I undertook what I viewed as if it was an amazingly fun quest. I had a dream journal, did the dream checks during the day, and I even asked my university psychology teacher at the time if it was even attainable. it seemed too good to be true.
my teacher told me he didn’t know anybody that could do it but that he had heard of the term itself yet, he had no clear-cut answer for me.
after a week of participating in all of the dream checks and journaling that all the articles suggested, I fell asleep one night and had an odd dream. at this point in my experience I do in fact realize that the dream I had been exposed to that night was, in fact, a lucid dream.
In the dream, I became lucid and I ran to the computer. google was up, and I typed in “How do you know if you’re having a lucid dream?” Then, I woke up.
By this part I was completely discouraged, merely in view of the fact I wasn’t sure whether I underwent a lucid dream or not.
The day after the dream, I gave up on my quest. for good it seemed like, I had established in my psyche that I was never going to acquire lucidity.
- So how long until I acquired lucidity in a dream? And…
- did I have to work for it?
Well…
- For question number 1, I didn’t acquire the ability to lucid dream until about 7 years after the one week I attempted to gain the ability.
- And did I have to work for it? My honest to God answer to that one is: Not one damn bit.
The fact is I had entirely ditched the idea of lucid dreaming after that single week of journaling and checking reality. That’s all the work I put into it, didn’t think about it for seven years.
Then… one night
It happened.
The first night I had acquired an authentic lucid dream I remember, I remember it in its totality. I was sitting at an elementary school table from my old elementary school, and I was aware. I was having a conversation with someone close to me.
The conversation I don’t recall. Although, when I woke up. I knew I had been lucid. After that dream, I learned it very quickly. and i’m the next few articles, I will reveal some of the tips that helped me.
See you in the next one!
