Thread: First lucid dream was terrifying, and from what I've read it's really rare for this to happen?

Ok so I have been trying to Lucid Dream for around a month now. I have been doing reality checks hourly, keeping my journal, and messing around with bin-aural beats. I had a 7 hour car ride today so I figured I'd try it, no luck. I came home and checked out some new Theta beats and it worked. I'm an extremely open minded person so this in no way deterred me from wanting to continue. Okay, cutting to the chase...

So this is how it happened. I laid down and put a bin-aural beat on, different from the typical few I listen to. This one worked really fast I began to feel really relaxed in bed. I began counting each inhale I took, somewhere in the midst of this I lost consciousness and began dreaming. I was at a girl I knows house, and I also know her boyfriend. It was her birthday party and she asked me to go in the back and get her friend because the strippers were coming soon. I said "Brittany where's Dave (boyfriend) at?" Then I came to the sudden realization (It was the craziest feeling, I can't even describe it but I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about.) that this was about to be a lucid dream. I noticed the TV was on but no sound and it was lighting everyone's faces in an odd way. The second I went Lucid all these Rottweilers came running in and began attacking me. I fell onto the floor, one was biting my arm. I looked up and everyone's faces were now horribly disfigured. I then began trying to punch the dogs but my punches were incredibly weak, so I decided I wanted super powers. I didn't know what I wanted but I didn't have much time to think. It ended up being a "use the force" type deal. I began using this on the dogs and it was all really gruesome. I could control myself but not the environment. I was too frantic to even really try. The dogs just kept coming and coming, I flew through the roof and they were still after me. Somehow I ended up still in the house. Through-out the dream I began to lose my lucidity because I was too busy fighting off these dogs. I was still semi-lucid and I said to myself that's enough it's time to wake up and I woke up.

I looked down at the beat I was listening to and it was at 11-minutes 24-seconds. The time gap to me is mind blowing. I got my journal out and wrote all this down, and now here I am. One of the coolest, if not, theee coolest experience I've had. It was completely mind blowing. I just hope the next one turns out a bit more pleasant.

Is this at all normal? This was like a bad trip but worse lol. I try to take something positive from every experience like this though and I am guessing my sub conscience and conscience are under some type of unrest with each other. Any comments or advice?

Thanks, Zack
