I think i had a lucid dream for the first time
Last night I was watching some videos from lucidology101. And he mentioned something called "wake back to bed." After the video ended i did some research and decided to try it out because i didn't really have anything else to do. I did some meditation to relax myself, went to bed, and woke up a little bit before my alarm (which was set to 4 hours) It was 5 am and I remembered that i was trying to have a lucid dream so i went back to bed and told myself that i would have a lucid dream. I didn't (I genuinely thought it would work too 😭) but I woke up again a bit after that and decided to try to lucid dream by remembering a specific word that would cause me to become lucid. The word i chose was dan, because in the dream I had a character in it was named Dan. So if i were to continue the the dream id definitely hear the word dan and become lucid. So I went back to bed and mid dream I heard "dan" and it literally felt like i was some type of sleeper agent. I immediately felt like 10x more aware but it was so difficult to move. I felt incredibly sluggish and like I was chained down. I got really excited and I tried to get out of the bed I was in but it just got more difficult with each step. At some point I just gave up and gave into the dream and everything just went back to normal I guess?
This might have been a lucid dream but im not entirely sure. I wanted to hear others people's thoughts to double check if I had actually done it or just had a really odd dream about it. But regardless im taking this as a sign im getting closer to being able to do it consistently and im going to continue trying to master this.
