Yee hah! I just had my first lucid dream!!!

I was walking in the street I walked in as a kid, I was walking home from elementary school to home, but I was my current age (I am ALWAYS my current age, <edit> which is 30 for four more days </edit> in ANY of my dreams, is that the same for most people?).

A weird little substance that looked like a skinned fish, with only a big mouth with scary teeth, was chasing me and I was trying to avoid it. But I couldn't, and it tried to swallow my feet. It was somewhat nightmarish. Then I thought "hey, this creature isn't THAT scary, I can't even feel pain in my feet from the bite! Let's see if I can tear it loose from my foot and throw it away." That was no problem at all, and as I threw it away, I thought, HEY WAIT A MINUTE, that creature doesn't exist!!!

Then it hit me, I tried a reality check I heard a couple of days ago, nose pinching + breathing in through nose. After some trying I was able to breathe in normally!

BAM! LUCID!

Ofcourse I had NO self control and tried flying immediately, and it kind-of worked, though it felt more like swimming. Then five dream-seconds later I woke up. But my alarm clock was ringing too, so it wouldn't have lasted long anyway I guess

The memory is SOOOOOO clear!

I am DEFINITELY pursuing this.

THANKS for all the useful information, I only started trying a couple of weeks ago, I am really excited and proud!
