Share your 1st LD here! :D
Hi all, i made this topic so everyone can share their 1st Lucid Dream experience here, in this one topic. because there's sooo many people posting new topics just to share their 1st LD, individually (10 topics in 1 page!)
so i hope this topic can act as a collection of people's 1st LD experience.
enjoy! :)
so i guess i should go first :)
my first lucid dream was on 16th September 2009 (wow i didn't realized 3 years has passed!) i was on a port where suddenly i realized that i was dreaming. then i tried to imagine my favourite anime character there, and it's hard :|. suddenly a vehicle passed by and i got in, with people inside and my character was there too (blurry). a moment passed and i woke up.
it's really random though… ^_^; but that was the first time i made a dream journal, and it was probably around 2 weeks after lurking around this site
When I was 4-6 I was dreaming there was a big T-Rex on our street and I was with my 3 best friends. We hid under this wooden tower structure but the T-Rex knocked it down and it fell perfectly to make a small shelter we could see out of. 1 of my friends was like this has to be a dream so lets try to wake ourselves up. At this point I realised that I was the dreamer so instead of flying or stuff like that (every boys dream), I... Uhm... Well I punched myself in the face to wake up. :|

hahahah James, your reaction was funny XD but still it's pretty impressive to have a lucid dream that early, i don't think i've had any lucid dream before i go to this site, but perhaps i just don't remember it…
The first time I ever had a lucid dream where I changed things was about a year ago. Long story short this rainbow lizard, kind of like a mixture of a komodo dragon and that thing from Holes, was chasing me after I fell into its cave and it was laughing really really hard, presumably because it was going to get me. I HATE things chasing me. So I came out of the mouth of the cave looking for an escape route, but at the mouth was a giant tennis court lined with a brick wall. I thought to myself, Oh shit. I ran up to the wall and began pushing it, meanwhile the lizard was still laughing and running on its hind legs after me. I kept pushing the wall, and at this point (like I always have since I was a kid) I realized I was dreaming and told myself to wake up. It's like the end of alice in wonderland, I'm just yelling, "Andrea, wake up, it's a dream, you're dreaming." (I suppose this realization is fear induced since it's always in scary or unpleasant dreams) and eventually, as the lizard was right behind me, and the laughing louder than ever, I pushed through the wall to entire whiteness except for some grass I was standing on. The laughter was echoing as it died away and I remember thinking, "I'm dreaming and I didn't wake up." I looked to my left and a dog was running out of the whiteness towards me, I looked at it very hard and concentrated and turned it into a ball. It looked like Tommy's from rugrats. Idk why I chose a ball. Then I looked to my right and I saw the sky, it sort of looked like a watercolor painting at the edges of the whiteness, and then was really sparkling with the stars, and I looked up at the moon and changed it to the sun and light like rippled off of it and it looked like when you throw a rock into water, the ripples changed the night to day. I told myself that I could eat whatever I wanted, calorie free, and I turned to my right again and there was some cake. I went to eat some, when I saw a lonely parking garage cover with a person under it. I walked towards it and realized it was my Granddad, so I changed him into Brad Pitt circa 1990 (when he was actually attractive) and it was difficult because he changed from bottom to top and about halfway through would start fighting me to change back in my grandpa but eventually I concentrated hard enough and he changed completely. I jumped on him and we were about to kiss, when he began shimmering and changing on his own back to god only knows who, and then everything slipped away and I woke up. So long hahaa sorry. But this changed my life, truly! It's a wonderful and captivating phenomenon.
that's interesting way to escape nightmare andreah49, a laughing lizard… that must be really scary :s
OK Then, my first lucid dream! I forgot to journal it because I was busy, but I remember it,almost every detail! So first, it was non-lucid, I was in a dark place underground. There were evil people, maybe like a gang. and the boss was a scary guy, his eyes was fully white,but I wasnt scared because I knew he was an actor [LOL] the dream is so random, so, he was gonna jail me or something, and then I was thinking "I need a way out of this dream" then I thought again "WAIT A MINUTE, Dream,wha,THIS IS MY DREAM! IM DREAMING!" then I somehow fought with the gang, they were waiting for me to attack. my attacks failed because I thought I was a bender [avatar the last airbender,look it up] I tried fire bending, nothing happened,I tried air bending, nothing got out of my hand, I tried water bending and suddenly water appeared! I tried to freeze it but, lol I failed, and thats it. after that I was like "dam it" then someone woke me up.
I'm so happy now! but I didnt have any lucid dream after that day. Hopefully I will have one today!

My first one was very short and not very clear. i was in my school. i realized that i was dreaming so i jumped off a set of stairs in attempt to fly. i didnt and fell on my face. but it didnt hurt. it was a soft fall. then i yelled, "this is my dream! i control it!" a girl came up to me and said, "what?" i was like, im dreaming.
i have a question. i have had dreams before this one where i realized i was dreaming, but i didnt control it because i didnt know it was possible or how to. is that considered being lucid.

If you know that you were dreaming, then yes it was lucid. Lucid dreaming is like baby steps. You need to walk, then run,etc.. after that you master lucid dreaming :P
well i had my first like last sat/sun not the one just gone the week before.i was on holiday and i dreamt i was at home and i walked in to my parents room and my mum was in bed and the bed got lit on fire and i thought "wait,i can re-do this with a better outcome" so i replayed that part of the dream and through the re-play i said to myself "hang on a minute,im dreaming!" and became lucid.shame i cant remember much after that,but i was still excited as it was my first ld.my 2nd was last night but im not going to go into details right now as im about to journal it
I had my first dream last night ! It was short but and incredible feeling. I was lying in bed trying to fall asleep and telling myself 'I will fall asleep and I will become Lucid' Suddenly it went really dark and an image of a beach with a castle appeared. I was so happy and excited and started shouting im dreaming im dreaming... that caused my to wake up :P Oh well ill try again tonight :)
wow your first LD was by WILD? :O
Yeah why is it wrong or something ?
no im pretty sure that is mild.
and no, wild is not wrong. it is just very hard for beginners. i havent even done it yet.
Yeah call it whatever you want to call it i havent done it again since. I always fall asleep and start dreaming and its so annoying in the morning cause i knew i was about to dream and yet i just let go of myself :P
Just over 2 weeks since I started attempting to get lucid, and I've just had my first bona fide lucid dream! I had a few teasers previously (http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2277).
Last night my partner was away, so I thought it was a good opportunity to try WBTB - after 6 hours of sleep I woke to wash the dishes from the day before, then went back to bed. I had a few normal dreams, but kept trying MILD each time I stirred. Then - success!
It started in a dream where I was driving through my parents' home town, and at one point I came off the road onto the pavement (where a car wouldn't fit) - so I thought "this is probably a dream". The car vanished, I turned around and saw myself, sort of mirroring my movements (is that normal?), and that's when I knew it was a dream. I looked at my hands, and span around gently to try to take in the scene. My 'clone' never appeared again. Then I hurried over to a woman walking along the road and, not wanting to shout too excitedly, I whispered excitedly "I'm dreaming!", to which she smiled and replied "I know, we all do" - that's when I realised that lucid dreaming was going to be fun :D
I walked across the street and said to some other people "This is my first proper lucid dream", although they didn't react much. I followed a group of dream characters somewhere and arrived inside a building. Hearing some music, I went into a huge room with a kind of funfair in the middle - bright lights, loud noises etc. Looking away, then back again, the funfair disappeared. I was a bit annoyed by that, but realised that I should be able to bring it back - so I looked away, looked back again and it had returned.
I was conscious of needing to keep myself lucid, so I clapped my hands, which seemed to work ok. Reaching the far corner of the room I didn't really know what to do, so I thought getting off the ground would be a good start. I found it easy enough to float upwards (despite bumping off the walls a bit), although in going higher I was getting above the funfair into the darkness of the roof, and I found it hard to stay focussed in the darkness. I clung onto a beam and saw that my hands were strangely swollen, which I didn't really like. :? I decided that I needed to get down to the ground again, so I floated back down and into the light.
After that I didn't have much control - I seemed to want to find one of my dream characters, but I didn't know her name. Aspects from some of my earlier dreams crept in (a map of eastern Europe, and a competition to win a trip somewhere, but the questions were in some celtic language I didn't know). I pretty much decided to wake up.
"I'm dreaming!", to which she smiled and replied "I know, we all do" Haha XD I'll remember that... :D

Ok, well I finally got lucid last nite (at least some of the time)...this will be a long one, here goes:
Non-Lucid: I'm at a party. 2 people I know, the rest I don't. At first it's only a handful of us, soon we are all packed shoulder to shoulder and I'm irritated. I'm trying to get to the door when the dream kinda fades away...but I'm still sort of asleep (or maybe fully asleep), everything is black, but somehow I know I was just dreaming and feel like I can pop into another one. I can't explain this...I have ZERO experience WILDing or anything, but I just felt like I could. Perhaps I was still dreaming in a way, I don't know.
Anyway, I figure I will visualize some scene and see if I can pop into it (I am a terrible visualizer, and can never really picture much of anything, so it's strange that I just "felt" that I could pull this off, but I DID feel like I could). As soon as I had the thought to visualize a scene, one just popped in my head! I didn't visualize anything, it just was there in my head. Some unfamiliar room! I couldn't see it, just kinda feel it...and knew I was lying in bed, all black, but could just sense this room. I knew that I could "open my eyes" and I'd be there. So I did, and I was!!!
Now this part (and lots of others) are a little fuzzy but I started feeling everything, to ground myself. I think I lost lucidity right away though. Next thing I remember I am outside in an alley. There's a bum in the grass, and again, I remember I am dreaming. I do a reality check. Some of my fingers are different colors! Ok good! I start feeling things again, and I hold on to some degree of lucidity this time. First thing, a tiny little badger-like creature runs up, jumps onto my wrist and bites me and latches onto my wrist like a watch. It hurts, but no big deal. I try to make it vanish. Nope. Try to shake it off. No dice. Ok, screw it he can stay. (I am still lucid, but fuzzy. Not thinking clearly.)
Don't like the alley or this damn badger-thing...so I'm gonna find a portal. I start walking around and looking for something I can use as a portal. Soon I find something. Clearly, it is a teleporter built into the brick wall. (way to take me literally, SC!) I jump in and the thing powers up. I don't think of anywhere particular to go (lucid but fuzzy) and poof! I go...
I am in a two room apartment (sans-badger), second floor, and feeling much more lucid. I can still describe this place in painstaking detail (I'll spare you), but there's no way out except a window. There's a mirror too, and, of course, I look. No disfigurement or anything, just kinda like a funhouse mirror, and everytime I look away and look again, It's a little different. Nothing big though, so I move on.
Soon, the owners come home (again, Im fuzzy now...my lucidity is coming and going). I feel I have to escape, the people who live here are home! (This seems like a non-lucid thought to me) But I know I can just jump out this high window and float down (because I know I'm dreaming, a lucid thought!) so somehow I am both lucid and non-lucid simultaneously. The rest of the dream happens in this strange dual state.
I jump out the window and float on down, and run away. Next thing I remember I'm in a mall. I'm feeling everything again (this is what I've been planning to do in my first LD, to ground myself in the dream). I start walking around and I'm noticing all the detail. Hundreds of people, all different, all unique. This amazes me. I'm screaming in everyone's face "This is AMAZING!!". I even remember one guy in a wheelchair, I can remember what he was wearing, what he looked like. Incredible!
Soon, I'm at the door of what appears to be a biker bar (in the mall?!) For some reason I have a handful of nails. I drop one and it rolls inside the biker bar. Huge, tough biker picks it up and puts it on the table with HIS pile of nails. Um...shit. I am not gonna ask this huge biker for my nail back! He'll just beat me up!
I start to walk away, but he calls me back...and gives me my nail back. Turns out he is very nice and pleasant. So now I've still got my handful of nails...and I feel the dream fading. NO!!!
I wake up...in my room, with a handful of nails. I throw them on the bed thinking "WTF? How did I bring these back from my dream?! Oh, I must still be dreaming!" So, I walk up the stairs toward the light so I can look at my hands...too many fingers to count!! False awakening, but for some reason, even with the reality check, I never really felt lucid here.
Ok, now upstairs is still my house, but not my family. There's a black family living here (my family is white) and the damn badger is back on my wrist. The family is doing dishes and there are about 1000 mugs hanging everywhere drying. I hold my wrist up to the family's daughter, and the badger climbs off onto her shoulder as if he belongs to her. I go in the living room and Cee-Lo Green is in there (what, really?). He gets mad when I call him Cee-Lo and tells me to call him by his real name, which is "____" (can't remember now).
Not sure if I woke up right then, or dreamed a little more, but the next thing I know I'm awake and shaking with excitement. I think I only touched the surface of true lucidity (I only really felt AWAKE for very short, fleeting moments), but it's an exciting start!!
Sorry it's so long, but I wanted to get it all in here!! Everyone prepare for lots of questions elsewhere on the forum. I have a TON.
Thanks all for your support in helping me get this far!
I also had my first dream from WILD... Last night. It wasn't such a big deal to me, since I have had a lot of experience with meditation and mental control, so it was a simple yet challenging task.

What was the dream about?
[ Post made via iPod ] Image
I can't exactly tell, there was too much crazy crap happening.
Here are some highlights:
I started in this huge room, the contents of which were... pretty much everything I had seen that day. I saw that my brother was sitting in a chair, so I quickly picked up a drum that I had seen in music class, and threw it at his head. He didn't seem to care, and went on his merry way. I then went outside and remembered that I could fly. I tried to do this but for some reason all I could do was jump extremely high. For some dumb reason this didn't please me. So I closed my eyes, visualised a dragon standing in front of me, and when I opened my eyes it was there. I then lost lucidity as a new dream began. I was a soldier standing there as a drill sergeant yelled at me, "Now listen here, private! Our enemy has our balls in a vice and you need to go out there and un-fck the situation, understand?" And I said back "Yes sir! Situation will be un-fcked!" After remembering that this was a line from prototype 2, I regained lucidity, but woke up.
So, you tell me. What was it about?
I had my first lucid dream on 28/9/12. My first LD was a WILD. When i got in the dream, I remembered only 1 question out of my 13 that I decided I would ask myself when I have a LD. The question was if it was possible to enter someone elses dream, like Robert did in Rebecca's book, and I got the answer Yes. But I don't know if it was a true answer or my mind just expected it to say yes... Anyways, I just somehow had a Nether-like portal (Part of a game I play) right behind me. I stepped through it, telling myself I would enter Tom's dream, a friend i know, but instead I entered my father's dream. Correcting myself, I tried again, and finally I saw Tom. I shake him and tell him he's dreaming, but instead he stares at me like some dumbass, like what happened with Robert's dream "character". I gave up and ate pizza, don't remember where it came from :?: , then conjured up sushi for the first time without any problems. ( I Lucid dream easier due to me being just a 12 year old).
Greetings! I don't recall the date of my first lucid dream. I do remember though at some point during my childhood to my early pre-teen years (maybe 10), I had a recurring nightmare, and my first memorable lucid dream in dealing with this nightmare (which I no longer have :D). The nightmare was always of a lady with one big eye in the middle of her forehead (cyclops lol) chasing me. I don't recall her doing anything evil, her appearance was jarring enough! Maybe in retrospect she wasn't there to scare me, who knows? Anyway I suddenly became aware in my dream one night that it was indeed a dream, and that my tormentor would be showing up that night! There were however some changes in circumstance that (could have?) afforded me lucidity at the time:
- I had just finished watching Knight Rider (I can vaguely recall) and as a child Knight Rider would drive my imagination crazy.
- The dream didn't start immediately as a nightmare. I wasn't at once thrust into an emotionally chaotic situation, and was given advance warning that at some point my recurring nightmare would somehow manifest itself in my current dream. I also recall having friends present.
As a result I found myself in a quasi-futuristic environment (not one too far into the future), in which weapons now existed for me to deal with this threat. I recall speaking to my friends about going after this lady, and I remember acquiring a very small handheld laser type weapon. My friends decided to drive me to an alley, where it was said(?) I would see the cyclops. I vividly recall testing my gun on the car window while riding in the back seat (this was the first thing i recalled after the dream, as in retrospect shooting a gun at a window in a car I'm in is something I would never do in real life, and it's the kind of thing that would tell you this certainly isn't real). I arrived at the alleyway and prepared to do battle. However, no one was there! There were papers flying around in the wind, and an empty alley. I haven't seen the cyclops since. Sorry there wasn't a huge epic battle here, but that's what happened!
Since then I've had dreams of varying lucidity(more often obscure, blurry and disjointed than clear), and what would usually happen is I'd become aware that it's a dream, and would then wake up as I would decide this reality was fake. This occurred in dreams where I had manufactured a desirable sexual partner(just being honest) or I had access to a videogame that I knew wasn't out yet (for example). I had more difficulty waking from nightmares though until I got older. I then developed a kind of "attitude" when dealing with dreams which was if I became aware, I would acknowledge it and just continue to let the dream play out. Only during situations that required me to have some level of awareness (fending off an attacker, having a discernable conversation, driving a car) could I then exhibit some level of control, and this occurred in perhaps less than a third of the dreams I could recall(I haven't been counting lol). I locked that pattern into my routine, and told myself what would be would be.
Through a lot of recent shifts in my life I've been "guided" here to seek direction. I'm very happy and blessed to have discovered so much great info on dreams and realize they're so many people with successful experiences, and it seems from doing the research that lucid dreaming is quite natural, and in some ways seemingly necessary to facilitate balance in my life. I would like to finally get a grasp of my inherent abilities, as well as learn and build with the resources available (I'm patient lol).
I wanted to know if anyone has had some sort of experience where they may have "unlearned" the appropriate mechanisms for being lucid in dreams, maybe tools naturally developed while growing up. If so, did you take the typical approaches described on this site and others for reacquainting yourself with lucid dreaming? I'm also currently employing the techniques outlined here and I am becoming more familiar with my varying states of consciousness(which were always present).
Thanks for reading my mini essay folks! I'm incredibly optimistic about this and i'm more than happy to discuss! _T
I had my first lucid dream last night! it started where i was sitting in a type of weird back alleyway/courtyard with brick walls on all sides of me. I was sitting next to a friend of mine. Then i got up when i realized I was dreaming. I walked to the brick wall directly in front of me, willed myself to fly, THEN SHOT STRAIGHT UP CRAZY FAST. I then woke myself up because i had the actual sensation of flying. It was awesome but really short. Ill try for more lucid dreams
Finally, finally, got my first lucid dream!! Took a good while; it helped when I finally realized/was told to focus on my goal for a lucid dream. So, when I was going to bed a couple nights ago, I kept saying, and even outloud, 'I WILL fly tonight. I WILL fly,' and so on.
And so, after this really brief wake-up in which I did a very quick reality check, I went back to sleep, and then bam! was able to realize I was dreaming and get into the air right away!! It really was quite vivid, and as I remember from past flight dreams, it was still just so fun to fly! I kept wanting to go higher and higher, then faster and faster. I was well above the treetops, and thinking how much this park looked just like the real one! (I was in a park near my house, but in hindsight, it was more different than I realized). I also seem to recall that sorta 'pop' into lucidity that other lucid dreamers say happen! After flying for a little bit, I ended up in a building, and was mostly losing lucidity (my dream became about me watching all these different styles of chuch services, all together in this open building, because I realized it was a Sunday. And I'm not even Christian... weird). Before my lucidity was totally gone, I realized I was barely lucid and tried to focus on getting it back, but this ended up just waking me up instead!
Still, what a fun experience! Not as different as I thought it would be from past non-lucid dream experiences, but then, I think I've just always been more in-tune with my dreams, and the flying just felt so the same. Also, I think I've been closer to lucid in the past than I've realized.
I took me a while to become lucid for the first time, it happened last weekend (27th of October) I had been out partying with friends, and woke up with a hangover. I drank a lot of water, then fell asleep again. In my dream I was in this strange glasshouse. I don't know how, but at some point I realized that I was dreaming. I got very excited, and thought about my best friend, because I haven't seen her in a long while. She showed up in the glass house (a bit confused), and I took her by the hand, to show her this amazing world. We went straight trough a door made of glass, which took us to a balcony. Outside on the balcony, I tried to lift my feet off the ground. It worked and I levitated. I asked my friend to do the same, but she was way to confused. I started to fly around, and the feeling was amazing! I could see a pyramid in the distance, and I flew towards it. There were really tall alien-like beings by the pyramid. I rescued some people that the aliens held captive, and flew back. I had a false awakening inside the glasshouse, and afterwards I woke up in real life.
I think the reason why I finally managed to become Lucid, was because I slept alone. I usually share room and bed with my boyfriend. Does anyone else have problems with becoming lucid, when they share sleeping space?
14 Sep 2012
I think I am one of the lucky ones. I could WILD from when I was 4 even if I didn't know how it was called... At the age of 10 WILDing stopped but at 12 it started again. I don't know where I first heard the term of Lucid Dreaming... Here it is my dream,not very vivid tough,I learned it was a Lucid Dream even not vivid...:
So I know I went to sleep as normally,no intention of becoming lucid but I remembered the lucid dreaming video on the site. So I remember of it and,as I am I was WILDing since I was 4 but didn't know it and loved the sensation but always opened my eyes. Why? Because when I go to sleep I usually think of something and I can't change this subject. This was the same way. I remembered it and went to sleep. Now,I had this dream about 1 and a half month away... Soo,after that I remember that: I find myself on a chair in my father's room(that's something I was sure though:). It was fully black. Just that,black. Nothing more. Me on a chair in a black room. Now someway or another I knew I was lucid so I asked my subconcious to appear. Nothing. After a while,I don't know how, there appears this medieval guy who looked like the blonde guy here came to me and asked: Why do you stay here? You are lucid,come on! And then I somehow knew it was my subconcious(maybe he looked like this because I am so attracted to medieval times). Then I remember going out from my yard and into my neighbour's yard. Here I rub my hands and I say I am Lucid The World Is Vivid. Then(with the medieval guy) I begin to spin. And after the spinning I remember finding myself in the same place. Also I remember asking up in the sky if my subconcious can help me with lucid dreaming. Now,as I said,I didn't record it and it happened a long way before,so I don't remember how,but here I am with my friend(medieval guy)in some medieval placed dream,where I stand on ground waiting,being hidden and talking with my friend. Image That's all I remember.
Flying of course 8-)
My first time was short and disappointing. I became lucid from a MILD and got out of bed. In my living I shouted for clarity, and lights but nothing really happened so I went to my bathroom to explore. In there I found a dog named Sandy (who I get two weeks later) and she put my forearm in her mouth. No bite, almost how a dog picks up a tennis ball. -dream end
It has taken a few more times to be able to control my enviro.

I've had spontaneous lucid dreams since childhood, but only recently became interested and had my first one a few days ago while reading a book by Robert Waggoner. I am walking through a mall, but there are no lights on. My restaurant is at the end, but I stop at the one next door, which appears to be empty. It has one light on, and I flick it off. Just as I do I realise that there are two people sitting at a table. Embarrassed, I apologise and flick the light back on. One of the people is known to me and looks surprised, but says nothing. As I turn to leave I realise I must be dreaming. I want to ask the guy what he is doing in my dream, but I'm too scared he'll tell me that I'm in HIS dream. I go next door to my restaurant, which is fully lit, but there is only one table full of people. I ask the waitress where everyone is and she points outside. The tables outside in the mall are full of people sitting in the dark. I ask aloud why it is so dark. A woman appears beside me and appears nonplussed. "I thought we were supposed to be conserving energy," she said. "But it's so dark," I said. She seems annoyed with me and walks off, but a moment later one light comes on and she is back. "There that's all we can spare," she says and walks away again.
I don't remember my first LD because when I was like 5-6 years old I had lots of lucid dreams. The problem is I never knew I can control them so every time I had LD I tried to wake up. :? Now I have lucid dreams much rarely. And after I found out there are techniques to LD I hope my Lds will become much more often.
The first LD I had was today!! :D I'v known about LD but only recently got really interested!!
I've been trying since Dec 12, not even a week.So I was searching the web all morning about LD. This afternoon I laid down for a nap, it was 1:00. I was attempting WILD when I fell asleep, I had a dream can't really remember what is was about, it was short though. Then I woke up and fell back to sleep. This time I dreamt about me and the fam going to our old house, and there was a huge gaping hole in the wall on the second floor, then all of a sudden we were at an in door amusement park, and I was at the very top of the ferris wheel frame( my belly was jumping) I'm not even sure how I got up there. Next thing I know I'm sitting in one of the seats, and I'ma guy with carrot orange hair. Once I get to the bottom and off the ride I'm me again. After riding a couple more things I wake up(FA)
My sis who I share a room with is talking to me about something, and I'm laying there not able to move. When all of a sudden I hear this vibrating ringing([i] I can't even really describe what it sounded like, almost like someone drilling right next to your ear but far worse) and it keeps getting louder and louder, so loud my teeth start hurting( not a nice feeling at all). My hearts beating like crazy, and I'm actually pretty scared. ( cause I'm like what the 'heck' is happenin)
I can move again and roll out of bed, kicking and writhing on the floor in pain. M is looking at me like I'm crazy, then I grab a pen and paper and start writing down fractions, and they all have the no.8 as the numerator. 8/15, 8 over 1/3h, etc. Then I'm back in my bed, the sound is still there, not painful anymore just really annoying. I suddenly feel like I'm being pulled out of my body, and then it hits me(reality check), so I try to look around my room to see if anything is out of place, but I can't move my head(it's like stuck and turns reeeeeeaaallly slowly.) I can make out everything from the corner of my eye, but when I look at it, everything turns black with whitish moving swirls everywhere. Then I feel myself leave my body and I'm floating over my bed, and that's when it finally kicks in, and I'm jumping around in the air, beyond excited.and I'm screaming"I'm dreaming I'm dreaming" and I'm like quick quick think of somewhere to go "grassy field grassy field" my exact thoughts.
Then I'm there, everythings blured out, and I can't even remember to stay calm, or increase clarity, rub my hands or any of that. I'm just trying to do so much at once. The grass is starting to become clearer, the sky to. I can feel a hint of the sun on my back.
Then I'm sitting bolt up right in bed, and I'm looking for a pen to jot all this stuff down.
I'm so excited happy, I had my first LD that I can remember!!! :D :D 8-) :!: :D Can't wait to have my second( this time I'll actually try to remember to stay calm!)
I was having false awakenings and out-of-bodies from the age of four. But my first experience after officially starting my practice was about five years ago. I had the experience of floating out of body and visiting my neighbour's (full version published in Michael Raduga's School of Out-of-Body Travel.
Later, I had a succession of many lucid dreams. One that springs to mind was outside a supermarket. I saw actor David Shwimmer signing autographs and making people laugh. Someone was with me and we were talking about how funny he was, a hero of comedy. Suddenly he was dressed as Superman and started flying. I followed jim and started flying too. I became lucid but found the flight difficult.

I HAD THE WIERDEST DREAM EVER!!!
Okay, so I was at this ice cream place right? So I open the door to leave and I'm on a giant river. I swim to shore and everything is swampy. Then this yeti like 20 ft tall pops out of nowhere and chases me up 'his' little treehouse fort thing,(100 ft up) and then I realize I am dreaming and jump off. I am still not sure if I really was lucid, or if I just dreamed of lucid dreaming.
wow, sometimes i envy people who naturally have the talent of LD, especially since childhood :o
My first LD was in grade three. I am in a building which had the layout of my school but with random colors. I go to my best friend and I say that I am dreaming and he says he is too. I then do some random stuff that I don't remember.
I had my first lucid dream like 3 hours ago!! :D So I had been dreaming a lot of things and suddenly I wake up. And I think to myself (I hadn't moved and my eyes were still closed) if I'm quick enough I'll go back dreaming and stay conscious at the same time. The next thing I know I'm running in my street, past my house. But everything is very dark, like nightmare-ish. Then I suddenly fall to the ground and I think to myself "I'm dreaming?" So (for the first time ever in my dreams) I do a reality check and look at my hands. I have like 7 fingers and some of them are really small. It's funny but that moment I was just 'relaxed' and I thought to myself "Alright don't get too excited here". It was still very dark and if I stayed there any longer I knew something bad was going to happen. So I think "I'll just fly out of here", and so I do and I fly through the house next to me (superman-style) into the sky and BAM, I'm somewhere else. I'm hovering 50 feet above the ground and below me are many constructions and cranes. Everything was very detailed. So I look into the distance and as I gain altitude things just "pop up", like in some kind of video game. I do a reality check again and suddenly I have somekind of mission to complete. At this point I am not sure if i was still lucid, because I had to complete this mission and I didn't think to myself that in real life this wouldn't make much sense. So my question is: Can you be lucid but like play along in your dream? Because i think I did. So my mission was to infiltrate some large complex. I fly through the first wall and again, I do a reality check and still know I'm dreaming. Some people from university and some people that I don't know are with me too and are helping me. Me and a girl are in a hallway and parts of the walls and ceiling were coming towards us and would crush us. But as I knew I was dreaming and could control things, I raised my hand and with somekind of force power stopped the walls from coming towards us. I take the girls hand and jump through the ceiling and run through several walls. Finally I'm in the main office of the complex and (yeah it's stupid I know) the mission is accomplished. All of the people who helped me were there and because of this 'adventure' we all had become very close friends. We were all very sad because I knew my dream would come to an end soon and we would not remeber each other or what we had been going through. So as my lucidity is starting to weaken I quickly grab a pen and start writing the names of my new friends on the palm of my hand SO that as I woke up I knew who they were in real life and could visit them. I really hoped that it would work so that I could make contact from this dreamworld to the real world. Sadly, as I woke up nothing was written on my hand :(
So yeah this was my first ever lucid dream. I think it was pretty cool and I think it lasted for about 15 minutes with a couple of Reality checks throughout the dream. The only thing I'm not sure of is if you can be lucid but still have to accomplish this kind of goal like you do in a normal dream ? Mine was to infiltrate this complex...
Hopefully my dream was enjoyable to read :)
My first lucid dream was also the first time I did anything "by the book" so to speak : ) I had been whirring between extremely horrible nightmares and exquisite phantasmagorical dreams ever since I could remember. After a life-changing non-lucid dream a dear friend handed me the Carlos Castaneda series (the first few books). After utilizing a certain technique I found within those pages I did this....
I was walking along a beautiful back-country road, and a dilapidated yet aesthetically pleasing little wooden house was beside it, and I just walked inside. I looked down at my hands (plain and simple), and told myself I was dreaming. I looked up just observing the room. Almost immediately my vision began to blur. I looked down at my hands again to regain my dreaming energy, and when I looked back up I was able to observe the artwork on the walls.
That's it! Short and sweet. I was so calm in the dream...it was a great turning point. I will never stop feeling amazingly blessed and grateful for what I was able to turn into another lifelong practice beginning on that day.
My first lucid dream was kind of strange after false awakening. I remember I woke up and looked through the window and it was snow everythere on summer. Ran to the kitchen to check calendor. Don't remember the date and after that I kind of lost self conscious and fell to regular dream.
My first lucid dream was before I had ever heard of lucid dreaming. I was in a dark alley and there was a tall chain link fence I was in front of. Behind it there there were maybe 4 rough characters with knives, and they saw me and started opening the fence and coming toward me. I was really scared, but then somehow I realized it was a dream, and I guess smiled or laughed to myself and I even said "boy, are you guys in trouble!" I then proceeded to tear these guys apart, knowing it was a dream. I told my family about it and we all got a good chuckle about it. I had maybe 2 or 3 others similar to this where I became lucid without really knowing anything about LDs, and had control.
However, while these were pretty vivid and fun, they were still dream-like... the experience of "alternate reality" was not nearly to the degree of the lucid dreams that I've had once I learned about LDs (Stephen Laberge - EWLD), and intentionally tried to achieve them. I really think that study and intention greatly increases the LD experience. In fact, many non-lucids also now give me the "alternate reality" experience.
My first LD after trying to have one intentionally was like this: I was in a bedroom with my son... he was maybe 8... he was jumping up and down on the bed and then jumped in my arms. I laughed and said "you sure are a little guy!" When I said, that, I immediately said... "No, wait... you are not small... you are Huge!" (he is over 30 now). He laughed and said "No I'm NOT!". But at that point I was looking around at the room and thinking "WOW! I DID IT! Incredible!" I was so blown away at that point that I was hooked for life.
