Thread: Hello!

Hi everyone

I'm 14, and I've known about Lucid Dreaming for quite a while. I first heard about it when I was a kid and started looking into ways of controlling your dreams. I tried all of the usual steps, but seeing as I couldn't do it immediately and being the easily bored kid I was I figured I'd probably never do it and quit. But just last night, I had a lucid dream!
It was a regular-dreaming-to-lucid-dreaming dream, and it quickly rekindled my interest in the whole lucid dreaming thing In my dream when I started lucid dreaming I decided to fly (doing the typical superman style), and it worked! It felt really weird, kind of like a prolonged jump, but it was still amazing!
Sadly I was in a submarine high school driven by anthropomorphic sharks at the time, so I didn't really get much space to test it out. It only lasted about a minute though, as it was a bit of a lucid nightmare at the end :/ I had this feeling of something watching me and being angry at me coming from all around me and inside of me, so I decided to quit the dream earlier than I'd have liked.
At first I tried slapping myself, but my arm just slowed down and stopped, it felt like it was filled with lead (this is quite common with my dreams, I usually fall over and can't get up at all no matter how hard I try, I feel so heavy, it's awful), so I just shut my eyes and decided to wake up, and it worked
Anyway, this somewhat negative experience with lucid dreaming hasn't put me off, it's just made me all the more determined to have a proper one! Sorry about how rambly this post had been, I'm just so excited about lucid dreaming, having control over all these things and basically having super powers is amazing! Hopefully now that I've had one lucid dream it'll be easier to have another
This forum seems really cool, and hopefully reading other peoples positive experiences with lucid dreaming will give me the motivation I need to have my own! Again, sorry for the rambliness of this post, I hope it's not too annoying to read.

Thanks,
ProudasaPeacock
