I had a lucid dream for the first time last night!?

Question

Yeah, after a year of wanting to have one, I finally had a lucid dream. It felt so cool! But after a minute I woke up, how to I prevent myself from getting too excited?

It's so weird, I woke up inside the dream yet I knew I was sleeping, lol!

Answer 1

Make sure nothing disturbs you, have a memorable day, make sure you put up blinds on your windows so the light doesn't stimulate you to wake up.

Answer 2

It's best if you learn to meditate. This will allow you to regulate your breathing and heart rate. Once you've managed that it should be rare to wake upon realizing that your dreaming. I've had to do the same thing. There are other methods, but this seems most logical to me.

It also serves many other purposes in life. It's worth the time.

Good luck.
