I kept asking myself, "Have I always had this? How did I get this? Was it from an accident?" Then I thought to myself, after what seemed like hours of contemplating what this thing was.. "This can't be real.." Instantly after I thought that, it came into my mind to try flicking a light switch. I did so, and once the light did not come on, BAM! I felt completely different. No longer was I watching the dream play out in my head like a movie, I felt like I WAS in control. I remember once I felt that initial... feeling... I started floating around my room (at first the party was at a friends, after checking myself out in the mirror I ended up at my house). I remember vividly yelling out "IM IN A DREAM!" I was so excited, after about what seemed like 30 seconds or so of flying in my room I woke up. I decided to record this in my dream journal. Was this my first brush with lucidity? I know it has to be, Ive never felt this before. Sorry, but I had to get this out its been on my mind all day. I sure can't wait to be more in control and prolong this amazing dream phenomenon.
