Hello everyone, to be honest I first learned about lucid dreaming on 9gag about 5 or 6 months ago and ever since then I was hooked on the idea of having my own sandbox in my head. So just like most of you, i persued this almost impossible-seeming task for a while with no success. It was really difficult up until a couple days ago!

I just came home from work and was out late the day before- I needed a nap. I laid in bed and I noticed myself falling asleep. I heard it isn't healthy to lucid dream right after you fall asleep? Well anyways while falling asleep I had my lucid dream!

It didn't last very long and in my opinion was "weak" because of a couple things. Do you know when you close your eyes and you see all that purple lookin stuff? Well that is what formed my dream. Figures kept shifting back and forth and it was quite difficult to concentrate on them. Some lady out of nowhere said "let's begin" and for some reason I got scared and I tried to think of some peaceful scenerio but to no avail. Some scary monster came right up in my face and scared my pants off. I woke up later.

The next day i tried to lucid dream again and it worked! (proud of myself) But I was so sluggish in getting out of my body I got up in my room and the corner of my room kept flashing and for some odd reason I got scared and went under my covers like a whimp and lost lucidity lol.

Apologies for the long post but I wonder if someone can help me out with why I'm having these type of experiences?
