lucid

I was looking down at this model of the start of a maze. There was this figure of some sort there, and I thought "I should try to go into that maze myself"... concentrated a bit and boom, I was lucid, in this small room. I examined my hands and was excited by how detailed they were, I could see all the lines in my palms. I then had a look around and left this small room into a larger one. I think it was like a video game, with various monster types coming at me. Shortly they changed slightly to look more like people in costumes, and I had a sword that was like a wide cardboard tube. One was very close by this time so I stuck my tube sword into it, with little effect. I then held up my hand going for some fire-like ability or something, but nothing happened. There were several all around me at this point, so I shouted "ok, I give up" and they stopped, pulled off their masks and showed that it was just people. The dream ended shortly after.

The morning of June 1st I had another lucid dream. I'll describe the start of it, but as most of my lucid dreams in the past (haven't had that many) I find I will go with the intent of exploring the dream world but lucidity will slip back into a normal dream consciousness...

I became lucid in a dark, cloudy empty space - I don't remember there being a ground. Looking up I saw that there were several floating islands high above me, so wanted to go explore. I had spiderman-like webbing abilities, so shot some webs up into nothing that quickly pulled me upwards. Arriving at one of the islands I found a large, castle-like building that I entered to explore. About this time I was no longer lucid and it turned more into a regular dream.

I joined this site on May 30th, so had read a fair amount about lucid dreaming and had it firmly on my mind. I wanted to have one that night, but alas, had none. The morning was a slow one, so I was able to go back to sleep several times with the intent of slipping into a lucid dream and: success!

I slowly got out of bed, but realized as I did that I was leaving my physical body behind - I was dreaming! I moved to the door and thought, "There could be anything through this door, it doesn't need to be in my house" and went to explore. I opened the door to a wide hotel-style hallway with an older-style blue carpet with a diamond pattern. I walked to a T section, turned left and continued a little ways until I came to a more open area, with a steep stairway leading up on the far side of the room. Unfortunately, that was where the dream ended.
