>>12169669I used to lucid dream all the time. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay in them for very long. Whenever I would become self-aware of my dreamstate, I would only have about what felt like 5-10 mins before I woke up.
I used the time-check trick to initiate lucid dreaming if anyone wants to start trying to do it themselves.
When you're go to bed, start thinking of a digital clock. After you do this enough times, you'll start noticing digital clocks in your dreams.
Then, eventually what happens is when you notice a digital clock in your dream, you check the time, then later on in the dream, notice/check the time again, and see that it's radically different than the first time you checked/noticed.
This forces a lucid state, a self-awareness in a dreamstate.
At first you might wake up upon noticing, but as time goes on, you'll get better at staying longer and longer in the lucid dreamstate without waking.
I remember the first time it happened.
I checked my phone's digital clock in a dream, it was 12:37pm and I was at my old high school, walking through the football field.
Once I reached the other side of the field, I checked my phone's clock again, and now it said 98:31 lol.
I snapped into an awareness that I was dreaming, and I immediately did the thing everyone likes to do in a dream... Fly
It lasted what felt like maybe 20-30 seconds before I woke up though. However, I continued to use this method, and eventually I got up to what felt like 5-10 mins before waking.
Pretty based.
