First Lucid Dream/Moment

Okay, it was longer than a moment, but definitely not for the entire dream.

Today, I had a dream where I was getting on a ski lift with my friends. One of my classmates was next to me, talking about the music of a video game (which is odd, seeing as he’s not really a video game person. He was singing the Gusty Gardens theme from Super Mario Galaxy. I was in the middle of the seat. I think it was a four person ride, but I’m not sure who was sitting next to me on the other side.

There was a ton of snow and it was a really sunny day. I kept cupping my hand over one side of my face to keep the reflection away. I looked down at the hills and thought they were really steep. I saw a few mogul fields and a bunch of slopes that looked like they were double blacks. Some even looked vertical. I was nervous.

We get to the top and it’s time to get off. I’m not very nervous about this, seeing as I’m a big skier and I do this all the time. Like most places, there’s a clear area for you to get off and then a bunch of pine trees behind it, and, behind them, another slope. For some reason, instead of slowly getting off the lift, I rocketed forward and up, way above the pine trees and flying over the next slope. I was terrified, but then, I thought, “Wait a minute, this would never happen, I must be dreaming.” So I closed my eyes, stuck out my arms, and tried gliding. I continued to fall, but at a much slower pace. The slope below me was very shallow and easy, like a bunny hill. They had poles on either side with a bunch of flags strung between them (sort of like at pools, those upside down triangle flags). With my gliding, I just barely made it over the flags. I closed my eyes and tried to convince myself gravity did not exist. I landed on the ground somewhat softly, and tumbled with my skis like I would in real life. However, it felt like I was barely brushing the ground when I rolled down.

I had a false awakening and lost lucidity. I almost kicked myself when I woke up in real life for not doing an RC there, too. However, in that second dream, there was a time when I saw empty animal bowls (we have 3 cats and a dog) and thought I had to feed them. Then I remembered that my brother fed them in the morning, not me. This is true in real life. I guess that means the habits from my waking life go over into my dream life. A good sign!

Gratz on the lucid. It's interesting how closing you eyes helped you slow fall in the beginning.

Congrats! Keep on dreaming bro :>

Congratulation! Oh and don't kick yourself too hard when you miss a BIG DREAMSIGN...Will happen often that you miss stupid Dreamsign! Your brain will trick you so well that you won't even find odd to see an elephant in the sky...Telling to yourself...OH look!!! That elephant has a parachute no wonder it flies!!!:cheeky:
