Natural DILD - I remember I was in my infant school - damn I must have been young, and I was looking around ofr something and realised it was only a dream. Shit I must have been about 7 or something, that would make it almost 20 years ago!!! And when I realised it was just a dream I walked out of school.
I am Sure that was my first, but I get confused with another I had where I was chased by the police, thinking about it the school one would make sense to me being the first.
The very first time I was ever lucid was when I was a little kid.. I was having a nightmare, realised I was dreaming and used it to wake up.. it stuck with me ever since as the earliest dream I can remember having.. I knew it was something special, I just didn't know how special until I discovered lucid dreaming.
The first one I've had since I've been actively trying to get them was on Wednesday.. a DILD, I realised I was dreaming then had a false awakening, did a RC after 'lying in bed' for a bit, realised I was (still) dreaming, jumped up and just did a bit of experimentation.. nothing too fancy because my alarm went off shortly after gaining lucidity... (don't you hate that? ¬_¬)
I was really shocked about how incredibly vivid it was though. I'm not sure whether that was because it started from a FA (apparently they're meant to be more vivid) or they're always that vivid. Time will tell I guess...

Same here. I've had LDs long before I even knew they were something different than just dreaming. But the ability to wake yourself from a nightmare was a very useful skill for me as a child.Quote:

Suddenly there was a gunshot and I saw that a kid had fallen on the playground. I ran for help to the teachers and asked who had fired the gun. They all pulled out their guns and said "We did!" After a moment of terrible panic, I realized it was just a dream. Not sure why. I told the teachers it would be useless to shoot me and would just waste their bullets, since this was just a dream and I would be alive upon waking. They saw the logic in that and immediately left me alone! I went inside the school and started running around the hallways wishing I could wake up and get out of the dream.
I had more lucid dreams after that during 4th and 5th grade and so on, or more like MOMENTS in which I realized I was dreaming. I never used any "method" to get them. Now I don't get them anymore but am trying!
When I was little I had a few LD. i had a bad time with nightmares, so whenever I had free control, I assumed it would result in me thinking of something scary. so every LD i forced myself to wake up. I wish I knew about LD as a little kid because I probably could have gotten rid of my nigthmares.
