When I was about 5 or 6 I had a reoccuring nightmare of being chased by a huge hairy man-bear through my house haha. One night having the dream I thought to my self " wow Im dreaming I can just wake up" and I tried pinching my self in the dream to wake up but couldnt wake up for about a minute (wierd.. now Its hard to stay lucid). The dream came back again, I became lucid, ran away from the manbear, went to my front door and jumped into the sky with amazing relief and complete awe of the beauty of being lucid in a dream. The nightmare never came back again, and I gained an amazing new interest.
