Hi,

This forum is exactly what I was looking for, some place for discussions on specifically LD.

I think last night may have been my first proper lucid dream (I say 'proper' because about a week ago, I thought I maybe dreaming went over to the lake to see my reflection and it was distorted, this is when I began to realise for sure it was a dream and with that I became frightened as the water was behaving oddly and I fell into normal sleep at that point).

Last night I very gradually relaxed into sleeping, my whole body just relaxing. I started imaging things but it wasn't a dream yet and I was still aware of being in bed. Then I started dreaming at some point, I was still conscious so it wasn't a surprising sort, my mind did seem to have 'slowed down' though, that was odd. Firstly a market place appeared I was just standing still and watching and I observed there wasn't any people and just as soon as that registered a load of people appeared walking in the opposite direction to me. Their faces were a bit strange, not quite human like, and a couple of them walked right through me as if they were ghosts...or I was one.

A girl at one stall showed me some items of clothing, I didn't buy anything. She told me her name, her friend also came over and said her name just as I was walking away.

This Lucid dream was in first person perspective -I never dream in first person perspective (as one sees IRL). Usually my dreams consistent of me being a form of observer from above, whilst I feel associated with one character in my dream.

Looking forward to spending time on this forum and learning more about maximising dream potential! :-)
