Hello everyone

I just sought information out of a dream that I literally just had and then I stumbled upon this forum which honestly feels great.

Basically I was waking up from a dream. I knew it was a dream, because I had decided not to sleep and just rest my eyes with my blinds open, having the room luminated.

As I was waking up from the first dream I decided "I want to wake up, but I want to wake up here!"

So I woke up in the summer in a setting very close to my village. I stuck my hand in the water and it felt like actual warm water. Everything looks 100% real, unlike other dreams I've had that I thought where lucid. The graphics were spot on.

I decided to go swimming. While swimming out on this lake, a good looking girl walked across it, so I decided to swim after her.

I entered this house that was her, saying hi. I assumed as this is my dream, she'll know me.

But her respons was a happy Hello and "who are you?"

I was chocked. It was my dream and she had no idea who I was. She looked so real, independent of my thoughts and I got scared. As I ran away the world got blurry and I woke up.

I think this was my first proper lucid dream. I had no idea that the characters could act so independently from my mind. Creations from my mind, but independent from it.

So weird. I have to experience this again, I have to explore this thing.

My name is Carl and I'm 22 years old living in London. I'm looking forward to talking and sharing with all of you
