my first lucid dream

[gerble1000]

i was about 8-9 yrs and i was playing on a garage roof and going in and out of portals wich were actually puddles on the roof and after running around being chased bye friends i went to go into the puddle and i looked at it and stoped and then i realised that i was dreaming by looking at the puddle so i looked around and everything was so fake it was like i was in a game everybody was doing repetitive things like they were on a loop and i couldnt consentrate on anything i tryed to think what id always wanted to do and all that came to mind was flying so i ran and jumped off the roof and tryed to fly it took about 6-7 trys before i flew i flew towards a town and then a dragon followed me and my dream caught up and that was that ,i used to think i was the only one that had that kind of dream other people said they have them all the time but there confused of what i meant all together ive had three lucid dreams my last one was scary though i was stuck between waking and dying i swear i was it felt like my mind was being crushed and i had no body i was just disapearing and then i very slowly woke up and i couldnt move for about 2 minutes and my breathing was slow it was scary but i loved it and want to know how to have another lucid dream gerble

Yeah, I'm like you...I didn't know what lucid dreaming was I just figured out how to do it. Probably my favorite dreams I've had involve breathing under water, it feels so amazing to just be able to sit under there and breathe and just chill. Just try to force yourself to know that you're dreaming. Before you go to bed at night tell yourself "I'm going to be dreaming, I know that...I'll figure it out" and see what happens!!!

Welcome! Enjoy your stay! Yes I think all of us get our first LD without knowing what it is, I found this place by searching for "Concious dreaming" and such (after having about 6 in my childhood).
