Thread: First post and first lucid dream

Hi,

Prepare for a really long post

Been reading the forums for like 10 days. Started out with good dream recalling, but after I tried to WILD for a couple days in a row I couldn't really remember my dreams anymore, wich was pretty frustrating. Last night I fell asleep with my laptop and tv still on, so that wasn't really planned . Finally had some dream recalling again, woke up at 8 in the morning, tired as hell. After brushing my teeth and shutting my laptop and tv of, I thought of doing a WILD because I had about 6 hours of sleep. But decided to just go to sleep because I was so tired.

I remember that even though I felt really tired, I couldn't really fall asleep. Don't really know what happened here, but suddenly I just 'woke up' or something realising that I had my eyes closed but was still concious and felt like I had sleep paralysis. Tried to move my arm and it kinda worked, but it was really hard and felt really weird. Moment after that I recall some of these 'vibrations' that I've been reading about on the forum. Can't really describe how all of this happened cause I don't really remember .

I never had any form of sleep paralysis or lucid dreams, so it was all pretty weird. I thought to myself that I should stay calm or else I could wake up. And the next thing I know I see all these images flickering in front of my eyes and being sucked into them or something. I tried to focus really hard and to stop the images from flickering but at the same time not waking up or 'snapping out of it' and it worked, the image turned into some kind of computer. I immediatly realized that I was dreaming so I became lucid.

I tried to navigate to a website on this computer, but everything what I typed came out crooked. I then thought to myself: "I am dreaming, I have better stuff to do than surfing the internet" . I tried to get out of bed and my body felt really heavy. The whole room was tumbling/shaking. Like I was on a boat in a storm or something. I believe I sat at the end of my bed and looking at my hands that looked weird. I tried to focus like I've read about and said: "Focus dream now" or something. It worked. I also tried to stabilize the room by talking to my hands again () but this didn't work. The room was dark so I tried to brighten it, but I could only manage to get some light from outside through the top of te window.

I stood up and as I was being slammed against the walls I tried to make my way outside. I arrived in very different surroundings than where I live. There was a large grass field surrounded bij large housing projects (high-rise appartment buildings or flats as we call them). While everything was still tumbling I tried to run and then fly. It worked and felt awesome , and the tumbling stopped. I got excited and felt my dream fading so I landed and tried to stay calm, and luckily this worked.

I believe that not lang after that I woke up and instantly thought it was an FA. I looked at my hands and they where still f-ed up. So I became (or stayed?) lucid. I went outside again to fly some more, but I only could jump really high (like 150 ft/50 meters). I was frustrated that I couldn't fly anymore and tried to visit a friend. But I woke up again not long after those thoughts. Altough I did manage to clear up the clouds, pretty awesome.

I thought of an FA again, but I believe I did 2 RC's and didn't became lucid. My mom was downstairs (while she is currently on vacation ). And I went outside to find my sister who was sitting on a bench at the side of a lake (She doesnt live here anymore, and I live in the middle of a large city dammit ). The rest of the dream wasnt really interesting. Finally woke up for real and realized I missed my chance to have another lucid dream.

It was an amazing experience and I hope I will have one again real soon.

Anyone who has had something like this to? Like a WILD without knowing it . And any tips or notes?

Thanks for reading
