I'm no newcomer to the forum however, seeing as how I finally had my first Lucid Dream I felt I should post as I've been reading through the site for months. I've been trying to have a lucid dream on and off for at least two years now. As I go to work and go to school full time and I'm in a very demanding major I rarely get over 3 or 4 hours a sleep at night so its very hard for me to have a LD or even remember my dreams. With it being summer time I can finally get some real sleep and focus on LDing.

So, A few nights ago I finally had my first LD and it was nice to know that the whole Lucid Dreaming thing wasn't completely out of reach for me. In the middle of my dream ( I can only assume I was in the of a dream as I was crawling on the tops of rafters in an auditorium) I realized I was dreaming. I got really excited and could tell I was losing it so I looked at my hands. I regained control lucidity in my dream but my hands weren't very clear at all... I could always see a couple of my fingers but the rest were blurry. I decided i should probably go outside so from across the auditorium I tore open the wall and went outside. I knew I wanted to fly so once outside I thrusted up into the air. Looking up I could see others flying around in what looked like air highways and when I looked down I could see myself getting further and further from the ground. Everything felt so real, I could feel the wind blowing on my face and my clothes battering across my body. My mind began to wonder while I was flying and when I landed I found myself in the middle of a dream story. There were 3 DCs who were really stealing my lucidity. They talked me into walking around with them and I faded in and out of lucidity and eventually my girlfriend woke me up when she was getting ready for work and I lost it at that point. When I woke up I fought with myself to remember I had a lucid dream and It worried me that I may be having them and just forgetting. So, I guess I need to work on remember my dreams a little bit more.

Either way...
