Your first Lucid dream?

[PandasMoan]

Hello, I'm new to this community and for my first post I decided to start with that of a topic that intrestests me. I'm sixteen years old and have resided in northern BC my entire life. I've never taught myself to lucid dream, I just did. You may think I'm lying but I know I'm not the only one who just can, my friend can too. But anyway back on the topic, I want to know your first Lucid dream you can remember. My first lucid dream was about when I was seven or eight, and it began with a nightmare. I was dreadfully afraid of chucky when I was a child and then I began to have nightmares about him waking up sweating telling myself he isn't real, and then one night as I drifted off into dreamland I saw him from across a parking lot, my heart dropped and I didn't wake up like i normally did, but I smiled. I knew, I knew this was a dream due to the fact he isn't real. This was going to be the first experience leading to many, as I smiled at him and flew into the air as my heart willed and he glared at me with the words that still haunt me, "Wanna play?" As he rose up into the sky along with me as I don't remember what happened next, but there was a big tanker and a few cars in a huge parking lot with a small gas station with one gass thing, struck in the middle of no were. I don't remember much else about the dream, but I do remember since then I no longer have issues with bad dreams but I do have the odd one here and there.. BUT BUT there was this one reoccurring dream that I could never lucid dream in, as if there was a force field preventing me from controlling myself, but I know I was dreaming watching myself unable to do anything... I know this is off topic but I can remember this reoccurring dream word for word and the thought of it sends chills down my spine... It evolved death. Before I write this I'm turning on a light and my Televison so I don't spook myself. Scratch that, can't find the reamot for the TV! Any way, the dream began with me walking to the bathroom in the house I grew up in, no lights were on but it seemed like there was slight sliver of light that was screened with grey as if I was in a dark dark black and white film. I began to take a leak then I saw a figure in the shower, as I pushed the shower curtain over to examine it, I saw a dark cloaked hooded figure, a shadow covering the face. I began to ran screaming as I couldn't do anything but watch myself as I ran... I ran out of the bathroom and down the hall as I then fell and curled up into a ball holding my head crying, the figure jumps ontop of me, I can feel it ontop of me. This is the part most of us wake up from, the part before we get hurt. I don't wake up, never have I woke up from this dream. The figure begins to smile and laugh as it claws into my back and I can feel the claws as I type this, shred my back and I'd wake up in pain. I haven't had this dream in ages but I know I now have more will power I'd be able to de-cloak this figure and see who or what it is.. or do I not want to...?

Hello and welcome to DreamViews! The first lucid dreaming that I can remember occurred when I was around 7 years old. I was in my old elementary school and I was walking down the hallway alone. I turned the corner and there was a large group of teachers and cameramen. They were all pointing at me, laughing, and taking pictures. I looked down and noticed I was completely naked. I freak out and ran off. I looked for some clothes and put them on. I then returned to that same corner and it happened again. I wondered how my clothes could have just disappeared. I looked around and noticed the school was way different than I had first noticed. I realized I must be in a dream. I then threw my arms out in front of me and ran toward the group of people. I squalled and attempted to hug them. They all ran and I chased them around the school laughing at them all. Just tell yourself right now that the next time you have that nightmare, you will know you are dreaming., Recurring dreams are excellent for becoming lucid. You could uncloak the figure, kill it, hug it, make it wear a dress, challenge it to a game of poker, etc. Anything to take away the fear of the dream. Taking away the fear will likely end the recurring dream altogether.

Mine was when I was 6 or 7. I was climbing up a steep grassy hill, I mean really steep, stairs aren't this steep. I then noticed it was a cliff, and the sky and sea was grey and windy. I leaped off and soared, with my arms out. It felt great. I flew close to the water, then returned back to the cliff. I climbed up higher again, past nettles and different grasses. I repeated this about 4 times, then the last time I was swooping low over the sea, a black thing (which I can still see in my mind to this day, a decade later) grabbed my ankles and pulled me down. Not under the water, just down. I tried really hard to fly off, but then the dream ended. It was really cool and not that scary, more... frustrating that I couldn't fly because of this thing. I hope one night to go back there and see the black thing again.

Cool thread! Mine was about 3 years ago when I was 15ish I was in a white, infinite space (like the Matrix Construct I think it's called - the loading room). I turned around and saw an endless line of floating mirrors lined up perfectly. I walked up to one and remembered reading that checking your reflection (like you would check the time) is a good reality check. So I looked at my face, looked down, and looked back up and was surprised to see that it hadn't changed. But even still, a voice from behind me whispered, "you're dreaming," and I instantly got this intense feeling and knew that I had finally become lucid. The next thing I did was turn back around to find a desk with a single blue folder on the top. I could feel the dream slipping away/collapsing so I tried to hurry and see what was inside that folder but I never made it in time... I've always wondered what my mind put in there. Maybe the colonel's secret recipe? ;D

My oldest lucid dream <3 The first time I didn't just wake myself up. I was out swimming and my dream mom told me not to get wet. I knew it was a dream. My dream friends told me that they wanted me to swim with them. I knew I couldn't get wet so I just decided to walk on water.

uhm I can't really remember many from before DV, but there were quite many. the first when I joined DV. I was in my moms neighborhood, walking around. I was kneeling down at the bottom of a tree, there was a huge spider then a smaller one, i picked them up and put them on my head. I then was like "why am I doing this? am i dreaming?" then I started flying above all the apartments...first time flying in a lucid dream (I might have when I was younger, I forget) amazing feeling.

i was the same about not knowing how to do it, i just had one. i walked up some staires and opened a door and my family was in the house but a man with a shotgun opened the door. i was backed against a wall and then the guy shot me. i closed my eyes and tensed up and while i was tense i thought "that never hurt i must have been dreaming" (hense the name GDW) followed by "if i was dreaming i should have woke up" i opened my eyes and had the OMG im dreaming thought so i took the shotgun off the guy turned it round and fired! i instantly ignored the fact my family was in the house and i just ran outside. then i said to myself, if this is a dream i can do anything i want, i bent my legs and just started flying around, i then moved on to jumping across roof tops like spiderman but without the web. i had a few more LD's after that one but only found out what they really were when i joined DV 1 week ago and have had 2 LD's since! good thread!
