Huntstreet's Dream Journal

FINALLY. Last night I decided to set my alarm at 4:30 to do a WBTB. I believe I had already had 2 dreams in my sleep before this. And I remembered one of them when I woke up (of course I was too lazy to write anything down). I was entirely too tired to get up and do anything at all, and I was going to give up and just lay back down. But I started thinking about lucid dreaming and having random thoughts about them. I dozed off, and then the next thing I know I'm dreaming walking down a sidewalk. Something triggered the fact that I was dreaming. I don't remember what it was, but I remember it being obvious. I did a nose RC and something I've never felt hit me. I breathed through my nose and this feeling of pure happiness overwhelmed me. I knew instantly that nothing could feel this way except for a dream. I'm so glad that I now know how a dream feels!

Anyways, on with what I did in my dream. Well, unfortunately it wasn't very long or vivid (which seems to be normal for people's first couple of lucids). I think one of my subconcious fears is having a nightmare while lucid because I keep seeing people talking about that. The dream was dark and hazy.. I knew it was turning into one and all I did was say a command along the lines of "Daytime!" and the dream world turned daylight and whatever was waiting to scare me had gone away. I honestly couldn't think of anything to do in my dream. My mind was blank. I could tell the dream still wasn't very stable, so I decided to try fixing that. But I couldn't remember what to do :/. I yelled out "stability" but it didn't work. I think this is because I didn't say anything after the word stability, and I also didn't really believe that it would work, therefore it didn't. I then lost lucidity...

I really don't care that I lost lucidity that fast. I'm just happy that I had my FIRST lucid dream! I was always afraid that I would get too excited and lose lucidity or wake up, but I just told myself to stay calm and I did.
