    1. My First "True" Lucid Experience

      by , 02-19-2011 at 05:18 AM (My Other Half - Courage's Dream Journal)
      I ate some peanut butter before going to bed, which could possibly be why this lucid came up. I'm not sure. I have had some fleeting lucid experiences in the past, but none like this.

      We had English projects due. I found that I was in a computer lab with some people I know in real life. I found out that this one person and Amanda, a girl I used to be interested in needed a computer, so I let the group leader ( a freckled, orange haired girl ) take my computer.

      In the hallway, I see Amanda. The halls are huge and much more grand than the ones in my school. It's like a mix between a castle and a school really, and I can imagine colourful banners running along the walls, and a flag of course.
      As I pass her in the hallway, a few seconds later, I suddenly realize that I'm dreaming.

      I don't bother stabilizing the dream ... mostly because I forget to, and I'm caught in the moment. I'm awed by how life-like everything is. It's 'almost' exactly like it would be in real life, even though I've never been to this school before. I glance around rapidly, trying to find Amanda. I remember racing through the hall shouting her name, yet my voice comes out much weaker than I want it to. I spin around and close my eyes, imagining that I will appear where she is, but I don't really believe it and it doesn't happen. Students pass by me, but I don't really take notice of them.

      After realizing that I've failed in finding her, I decide to go flying. It was an amazing first experience, although it felt more like I was levitating really fast rather than flying. I get scared because of how fast / high I'd went ( nearly hit the school ceiling ) and I slow down time so it feels like I'm going slower, although it doesn't really help.

      I make my way to the school gymnasium. It's absolutely huge, with walls seeming hundreds of metres apart. There is this little playground-like area in the middle of everything, although it pales in size when compared to the whole room. Here, I remember to stabilize my dream. I think I was licking the floor or something, and trying to feel how real everything was.

      I took advantage of an empty gymnasium and decided to do some tricks. I tried to do a few twisting things, but they really didn't feel 'right' so to speak. When I have enough ( only one or two tricks ) I fly out of here.
      I appear outside of the school, where I can see the brown brick wall. I tried to go through the school walls. The first two times I hit solid brick, but I make myself believe that I can walk through it, and I easily slip back through. Back in the gymnasium, I try to picture myself turning invisible, but no success.
      I do a pose like you see video game characters do before they cast a skill. I think I should choose a cool one, because I'll be doing this pose a lot. Momentarily I see my arm fall under a cascade of silver, but it turns back to normal just as quickly.

      At the front of the school, I see two boys coming out of a car; one is young, looking no older than 11 or so. I ask him what my name is, and he replies "Your name is a list.", or something like that. It's rainy and gray outside. Soon afterwards, I lost lucidity and fell into a FA.


      I think I was thinking about my real body, and that led to a loss in lucidity. Nonetheless, this was an amazing first lucid.
