Thread: Introduction - First time luciddreamer

Thanks to Rakkantekimusouka for the welcome-pm.

I wasn't planning to start posting on this forum yet, as im in a busy place in my life. School, looking for a job and moving away from the parents. But since i believe i had my first lucid (or semi-lucid) dream, i might as well tell about it when my memory is fresh.

First i should introduce myself. Just turned 24 ( yes, still living with my parents) and i live in Sweden, Trollhättan. Male, but i believe that shows in the left under the avatar. Recently got into this lucidity stuff, and have been trying ever since. Bought 2 books about it, one completely useless (Dreaming while awake - Arnold Mindell) and one that's been very helpful and interesting (Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming - Stephen LaBerge & Howard Rheingold). I just started writing in my Dreamjournal but stopped because lack of motivation, and i had a tendency to forget my dreams since i didn't write them down when i woke up.

It's not the first dreamjournal though, i've got a .doc file on my external with several dreams, including some long ones. I've also discovered my first (i believe) dreamsigns, The sky!

Which leads me to the lucid dream i had just two hours ago. I was tired since i fell asleep late and woke up early. I ate some breakfast while watching an episode of Stargate SG-1, but since I wasn't feeling too well, and was still very tired so i laid down in the couch and eventually fell asleep. I was dreaming i was looking out through the kitchen window, still lying in my bed, and the sky was beautiful, and the sun was setting (right word?). I saw an helicopter, probably armed, flying by. The sky was really beautiful, and my mom was in the kitchen making soup (that part was true, as i ate it later), and i tried to call out to her, to come and watch. Strangely i couldn't move my lips, and i realized i couldnt move my body at all. The sky changed, from sunset to night, and i could see all the stars very clearly, although they were blurry. I called out again, but i still couldn't move. I realized i was half-asleep, and when i was about to wake up, i could start to fall asleep, by snoring and i was "lucid again". Then the stars started moving, as if time moved very fast, and earth rotated around it axis. At some point i "realized i was dreaming" and started waking up, i tried to fall asleep again, but it was useless.

I dont know if i was dreaming that i was having a lucid dream, or if it was semi-lucid, couldn't tell the difference, could anyone help me out?
