First Real Lucid Dream!

**JackALope2323** · 07-14-2010 07:27 PM

Hey guys. I'm, as you can tell, new here. I've been lurking a lot, picking up on your guyses techniques to Lucid Dream. Up until last night, though, I never had much success with it myself, despite maintaining a daily dream journal, taking supplements, and doing MILDs. Not to mention my horrible failures of WILD attempts.

So, I'd like to thank all of you for giving me the information I needed to finally, truly, have a lucid dream.

I had ONE dream in the past that could BARELY be considered "lucid".

I was on my friend's farm, talking to him. Then it hit me. My friend doesn't live on a farm.

I must be dreaming.

Now, I got too ding dang excited with myself here. I looked at a hill in the distance, and to test it out, tried to set it on fire with my mind. Sure enough, a fire started on the hill.

Two dream people tried to come up to me and talk to me, but I was just like "Fuck ya'll, I've got some flying to do."

So, I get up, start flying, and lose my lucidity instantly. Wake up horribly disappointed.

Now, last night's dream.

I'm standing outside my dad's house. I guess I had just been woken up, and couldn't go back to sleep just yet for some reason. So, I was pacing around, getting ready to go back to sleep, saying my usual Mnemonics.

"I will remember that I am dreaming."

"I will become lucid."

"I will do reality checks in my dreams."

Then I decided I may as well do a reality check. Trying to push my finger through my hand.

Before my finger even reaches my hand, it hits me.

"Wait a minute. I AM dreaming!"

Now, I get excited once again, I even try to run and jump and fly, but I calm myself down, remembering what happened the last time I took off like a jack rabbit.

So, I stood there on the street, looked at a field in the distance, and said "Stabilize lucidity NOW!"

Son of a bitch. It actually worked. It all seemed so cheesy and stupid when I read it on Dreamviews (No offense guys... lol), but it actually WORKED!

I said it a few more times, and every time I did the dream got more clear and vivid, and I could FEEL it becoming more stable. I don't know how to describe that feeling, but it happened.

So, with my dream stabilized, even if I'm nowhere near full lucidity (I wouldn't even say 50% lucidity. Of course, that's looking back. At the time it seemed pretty lucid.), I take off and fly. Why? Because I've never flown in a dream.

And let me just say this.

Flying in dreams. Is fucking. AWESOME.

I mean, like, Grade A 100% AWESOME SAUCE. I can't wait to do it again.

Anyways, I'm flying over my old school (Obviously with a bit of modifications. Not a perfect replica, but it's a dream, so yeah.), flying over the basketball courts, about 20 feet or so off the ground. I'm looking down on all the people doing P.E. stuff, and just enjoying the flight.

That's when I realize that I'm missing out on one of the greatest opportunities in a lucid dream.

To have dream sex with hot women.

So, I land right outside the lockers and get ready to go in, manipulate the dream, and then proceed to get it on with a girl I had a crush on back in high school.

But something's happened. My dream people can see me. Fuck.

So, I try to turn invisible. Doesn't work.

I start walking through the school, disheartened, but eventually go "You know what? Fuck it. This is MY dream. I can do whatever the hell I want to do in it! If I want to be invisible, I WILL be invisible!"

*poof*

I'm now both invisible, and, as I discover when my old gym teacher walks STRAIGHT THROUGH ME, apparently incorporeal.

I'm walking, still looking to dream-score, and come upon three girls sitting at a table. Ghost gropes, anybody?

But what's this? My dream-person gym teacher sees me, touches me, and my invisibility is lost. What is this crap? Since when can dream people screw me like this?

I try to turn invisible again, to no avail. Then I realize why not. People are looking at me. I guess that, even in my dreams, my logic still (somewhat) prevails.

I wait for everybody to look away, and then go *poof* again.

My gym teacher, telling one of my other teachers about my invisible shenanigans, turns towards where I was, and realizes I've gone invisible again.

The dream now devolves into him trying to touch me to turn me visible again, and me barely avoiding is flailing arms.

I wake up sometime during this little game, but with a massive smile on my face.

I.

LUCID.

DREAMT.

FUCK YEAH!

(Once more, thank all of you for helping me to this point. I hope I'll be going fully lucid soon, and maybe meeting some oneironauts out there in the dreamscapes.)

Congrats on your dream. This reminds me of the Fairly Odd Parents episode where Mr. Crocker tries to find the invisible Timmy (great connection). Hopefully you will get the girl in the next dream! Can you describe how flying felt, or is it a just "You have to do it to understand how it feels" thing?

**JackALope2323** · 07-14-2010 09:44 PM

It felt more like floating along than "flying" really. I think I may have been going at the blazing fast speed of about four miles an hour, actually, lol.

I had my arms spread out and everything, but I was really just bobbing along, taking everything in. I can't wait to actually FLY in a lucid dream! Like, 300 MPH through the clouds, and stuff. Ought to be sweet.

cool! :p

**smurfman** · 07-14-2010 11:03 PM

how long ago did you start a dream journal before you had you're dream?

**Brunor2** · 07-14-2010 11:27 PM

I lold reading your post. Funny

And, congratulations on your first LD.

**Thyspacegoat** · 07-14-2010 11:45 PM

lol congrats

**MJMax** · 07-15-2010 01:13 AM

Congratulations on the dream

. I don't think turning invisible is necessary though, ignore the dream people, they don't exist. Be free of the constraints of the real world. As you said, it is YOUR dream.

Let me think... I think I started my dream journal back at the end of May, IIRC. My old one is on my other computer, which I can't access now.

So... Month and a half, maybe?

**Conzo** · 07-16-2010 09:10 AM

I laughed when I read the part about the teacher "telling one of my other teachers about my invisible shenanigans"

Nice job on your first lucid though

Congrats dude! I actually just had my first lucid flight experience last night, and I agree, it's one of the coolest things I've ever experienced. Here's to many more!

**GabrielG** · 07-22-2010 01:08 AM

**GabrielG** · 07-22-2010 01:10 AM

**ElsiaStar** · 07-22-2010 05:45 AM

**MeltingShip** · 07-22-2010 06:23 AM

The time between my last post and now i just tried to WILD into my initial sleep, and I don't remember reading how being baked effects you when you try that sorta thing but it's an incredible experience.

Ive never had a Lucid dream so i dont know what to look for or expect but when I can start to feel the muscles in your hands moving I can tell that something is brewin in my mind. I was trying to see things but it was spacey and not very colored and i didn't know what to do.
