Sorry if this has been posted before.

My first time I realized I was dreaming was when I was much younger (probably 7-10ish in age). I was in my house, and went downstairs. I have this bookcase downstairs, but instead of holding books, the bookcase held a bunch of empty soda bottles.

I then realized that none of this made sense, and realized I was in a dream. I got a little freaked out, because this was my first lucid dream ever. I never even knew you could become conscious in your dream. So, in my semi-conscious state, I decided that the best way to end my dream would be to jump from a high place and hurt myself (which really doesn't make too much sense).

I jumped from the top of my stairs to the bottom, which is pretty high. That failed to wake me up, and felt like nothing. I did it a couple more times until I finally woke up. I didn't know it was called a lucid dream what I had until maybe a couple of years ago. I still remember it very clearly, though.
