Thread: My First Lucid Dream

Hi all,

So I heard about this lucid dreaming about 2 weeks ago, maybe a little less. Now, before I started to read about this, my dream recall was so bad that I didn't even think I dreamt at all! Even if you do dream every night It was very, very rare that I remembered dreaming let alone experiencing a dream.

The first day when I heard and read about this lucid dreaming I went to bed. The next morning I was actually able to recall a dream! Which was very rare and uncommon for me. I began to keep a dreamlog/dream journal, and after the past last week, I've been able to recall atleast one dream per night! Some times I even recalled 2 or 3. It's been pretty amazing, and I've never been able to do this. And then just last night, I had my first lucid experience Short, but lucid.

The dream:

The point where I got lucid was during a dream that had been going on for a while, so I will just tell from the point I got lucid. Right, so I remember seeing out of a window in my room, a car pulling out of our drive-way. When the car got out of the drive-way, it just dissapeard. Moments later I found myself waking up, in the dream. I think this must have also been a false awakening. Anyway, so I got out of bed and suddenly it hit me. I was dreaming. Now I had read that most people tend to get too excited during their first LD. But I actually managed to stay calm. Right in the second I became aware that I was dreaming I began to tell myself not to get too excited, and that I should just keep calm. And I actually did. From that point it became clear to me what I wanted to do. Go through a wall Which was about the only thing I had in mind at that point. So I began to walk out of my room and into our hallway(the dream took place in my real house) and stopped right infront of a wall. Without much going on in my head I just reached out to the wall with my hand. But when it hit the wall it just stopped like it would do in real life. I took my hand back, this time telling myself that it was possible for me to get it through. I reached my hand back to the wall and sure enough! It began to go through! It felt like I was pushing it through thick jelly, hehe. Moments later I found myself on the other side of the wall and was now in our kitchen. It was at this point that my dream faded and I woke up.

It was pretty exciting! I've been practicing for almost two weeks now, and finally i got it And I'm pretty happy with it. I sure do hope I'll get another one very soon ^^ hehe.

Cheers,
