Wow, didn't know there was a name for this or that others experienced it until today. My first lucid dream was in about 1982. I remember it very clearly. I was walking down a sidewalk on campus (in my dream) when I realized it was a dream. So I just flew up about 20 feet off the ground and then forward down the sidewalk. That got boring, so I turned the sidewalk into an aqueduct with bridges over it and flew down that as fast as I could, going under the bridges. Then I woke up.

Told my roommates about it, no-one believed me. I've been having lucid dreams quite regularly for the last 25 years, more frequently within the last 5-10, and I just don't talk about it because people would think I'm an idiot. Mostly I either just fly around (can't get enough of that, it's fun!) or manipulate objects. In an LD last night I was at a farmer's market, looking at some veggies, thought 'oh yeah, another dream', and to prove it to myself made a carrot levitate. Then I brought it over in front of me and made it grow and start to Julienne itself. Idle play, probably spawned by boredom.

Anyway, it's cool to meet you all and to see that I'm not just dreaming!
