Well I finally did it after years of attempting. I don't know if you guys remember but back in the Tripod I posted about an exercise which is a good first step toward dreaming with intent. What you have to do is try and realize within a dream that you are dreaming and the first thing you can do is look at your hands. Tell yourself before you fall asleep that you will look at your hands. The night before last I had accomplished just that. I found myself in a familiar setting, a house that I have been to many times. I woke up you could say within the dream remembering the command and I looked at my hands. It was strange because my fingers were all twisted funny like which startled me but I was able to hold the dream state for a bit...walking around all the time knowing that I was dreaming. I lost control for a bit then regained control checking to see if I was awake or dreaming. I remember purposely looking in this closet which had a doorway to another room which I had dreamed before and it was there confirming that I was in dreamland.
Suddenly I found myself laying down on a front lawn under a blanket on my belly. The same position I was in in my bed by the way. I was looking at little people, some children, they were marching down the street and they were shooting off fireworks over my body. Perhaps they were celebrating my accomplishment? I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned around and a voice said "Why did you drop in here?" I replied "I live here!" I then awoke and the first thing I did was look at my hands again to see if they were normal not sure if I was awake. The dream was very lucid and it was cool being able to control things. There were some negative images and feelings within the dream but nevertheless I am going to attempt this Shamanic technique again. I need to practice self control of my thoughts.

It is really wild isn't it?
