About an hour ago, I remembered a little detail I forgot while thinking of last night's dream upon waking up. A DC asked for my phone number in a dream, and I automatically spewed it out. I've never dealt with any sort of numbers in my dreams so I thought this was especially interesting and decided to Google it. & so I ended up here! After reading through some interesting threads about lucid dreaming, I decided to join. I've never been a part of something like this but I find dreams very interesting and I'm very interested in learning how to lucid dream on a regular basis and just reading about other's dreams.
I've only ever been lucid once, and it was towards the end. I was with my boyfriend and we were running from something, on a rooftop. That's as far to the beginning of the dream that I can remember. We came to the end of one rooftop and jumped and started flying over the next one, and all of a sudden I felt as if we were going to be pulled backwards, and that's exactly what happened. Except it was only me that was pulled backwards and then I started being pulled to the sky and I didn't freak out or anything. I was just looking at the sky and just.. admiring it all. As weird as being sucked into the sky was, it was pretty awesome and the point of view I had, with the entire sky and all of the clouds just coming at me - or rather, me coming at them - was beautiful. & right when I had that revelation, of how beautiful it all was - I became lucid and instantly knew I was dreaming and had a sort of astonished "wow" moment.
Then I woke up a couple of seconds later and sat straight up in bed an was out of breath and my boyfriend woke up and looked at me like I was insane, so I caught my breath and repeated everything I could remember to him and then my brother knocked on my door and asked me what time it was and I looked at the clock and it read 8pm.. which made me go because I had drank a bit too much..of too many things the night before and had gotten sick upon waking up the next morning and once I returned home, I went back to bed (which is when this dream happened) and then after looking at the clock and being shocked at the time, I woke up again. For real this time. Strangest dream(s) I've ever had. I'll never forget it. But I also haven't lucid dreamed since, so I definitely want to work on some things to possibly help me realize I'm in a dream while dreaming.
I hope to talk with a bunch of you in the future, and share dreams and thoughts :p If anyone has any tips that they think may work for me, feel free to share! (I've been reading through the beginner's guide) (:
