I had a lucid dream last night! My first one, too! I'm not sure what initiated it though... I got up at 5, and read an encyclopedia for 15 minutes, then went to sleep.
I was in my house, and I was just walking around when I got a call from Mike (my boss) asking if Todd was there. I said no, then realized, "This is a dream!" I did a reality test by distorting a corner of my room. I stared at it intensely until it started to morph! I tried to spawn a person on my couch, but to no avail. I was still happy though. Shouting in triumph, a stormed up stairs and out the door.I walked to my friend Brendan's house. On the way there, I decided to make looked at my hands. "AAAAAAH!" I screamed upon realization that I only had 4 fingers on my left hand. Then I remembered I was dreaming. When I got to Brendan's, my friend Aaron attacked my with a chainsaw, and I woke up.
Does anyone know how I became lucid, and how I can do it again? It was so amazing how vivid and how accomplished I felt.
