Hihi everybody.

So as long as I can remember I've always had really frequent and really bizarre dreams (which was cool enough!) but knew nothing about lucid dreaming. I happened across this site a few days ago and after two unsucessful nights of trying I had my first lucid dream.

I was in a large circus tent with Wagner from the UK Xfactor (not a fan, I don't know why he was there!) and there was a shelf of circus props. With no reality checking or anything I just suddenly thought 'I'm dreaming' and then decided I should try to walk toward the shelf. I took two steps and then all of a sudden the whole scene turned into speckled white noise like you get on a TV. I was thinking 'damn, how do I get that back?' and that was the last thing I remember.

Then last night I kept waking up in the night and repeating 'I will have a lucid dream' as I was going back to sleep. I had a dreams few where I realised I was dreaming but had no control. The most memorable was one where I was sort of flying but really low to the ground and then I thought 'well this is obviously reality but I should do a reality check. So I looked at some painted white writing on the roads which now I realise didn't make sense but it did in the dream. Then i looked back and it was too far behind me so I gave up still convinced that it was reality.

A promising start I reckon and I can't wait to get to sleep to try it some more. I think my main problem is going to be getting over-excited about it!
