Lucid Dream to my room

2012-07-25

Okay so I just had a Lucid dream to my room (first I thought OBE, but I’m sure it was a LD) using the indirect method in the book from obe4u (obe4u/sobt.pdf).

I had just woken up and remembered to do the cycle of techniques.  The ones I’ve chosen were swimming, standing up and twisting sideways (like a wheel with the navel in the middle)

I did the first one; nothing within the first few sec.  Switched to the next one; imagined standing up, felt something, and stuck with in. I stood up, did a reality check by holding and breathing through my nose (always works for me ) made one more, just to be sure, by looking and my hands.
SUCCESS I was in a lucid dream.

I went out from my dream room, touched and ran my hand along thing; it’s still amazing how real it all looks and feels. I saw my brother and I followed him, he didn’t see me and didn’t feel when I started poking him (with the intention of leaving a mark or something) the spot of red appeared very clear on his right arm.

I made myself wake up and rushed up grabbed a camera. Ran out of my room again to my brother, the spot was still there on his right arm, but he now had a shirt on covering it a bit. I pulled up his sleeve and took a photo it was still there!
OMG it worked, I felt a great surge of excitement and BOOM... I woke up again.
 I thought “DAMN!! Stupid false awakening.”  (I need to make a habit to RC whenever I wake up : P )

Well, this time I did a RC and confirmed that I was awake. I saw my brother walk past me and I asked If he could come in a sec (couldn’t resist) he was still shirtless I took a look and as expected (but still hoped) there was no mark.

The technique worked really well for having a Lucid dream, as it’s also been mentioned as a side effect of the technique. It might still yield a OBE(if there is such a thing) in the future, but this time it was a LD… and that’s no bad side effect :)

However seeing how this technique uses your room as the dream environment to emerge in it’s very understandable that you might think it an OBE, especially if you’ve never had a Lucid dream or an OBE. This was one the first time I can remember that I’ve had a LD that was inside my house, and in my own room.  Which is why at first I really thought it was an OBE. But after touching all the things and poking my brother I started feeling something was a bit off but I continued. I’ve never had the chance to do that before and I could “waist” a lucid dream for that.

But I’d really recommend trying this technique out, preferably the whole technique with the preparation, but at least try the cycle of techniques within the first few seconds of waking up. 
