Thread: I have so many questions about my first lucid dream!

I had my first lucid dream last night. It's my only DJ entry as of now so if you want to see it then you can read it.

But in a nutshell I managed to become lucid and stay calm enough on my first attempt to not wake up. I think in part because I'd planned the moment I became lucid I'd stay calm and survey the scene and just take it all in.

For one I can't believe how real it felt. Honestly it was incredibly real. All the sensations of reality. My god.

But I'm not without questions.

----

1. Why didn't I wake up the first time I tried to lucid? (I usually hear that almost everyone wakes up the first time)

2. Why could I control aspects of my environment the first time? (I shouted at the sky to change and it did, I shouted at some trees to move and did an open sesame move and they moved, I tried to fly and I kind of semi managed to do a really long forwards jump in a flying position )

3. Was I really completely lucid? (I felt my thoughts even though while lucid were slightly illogical even though I'd realised I was dreaming)

4. Why does my memory of the dream feel like it didn't really happen, even though I remember the feeling of it and the clarity?

5. What was going on with the creepy joker demon who kept me from becoming more lucid after I'd realised I'd slipped out of lucidity? Was he like a personal demon being shown to me? Or was it just my subconcious saying 'nah you've been lucid long enough for tonight?'

6. Why am I beginning to doubt my lucidity?

I think I've had lucids before but not remembered them properly, like hazy blurry memories with awareness attatched to them.

Looking forwards to the answers to these questions, I'm going to be reading that journal entry over and over to keep the first lucid I've remembered fresh in my mind.
