This is my first post too. I have been having lucid dreams for quite a few years. The first was when I was walking at night in a dream and looked back to see many twinkling lights upon a hill behind me. I thought, "There are not supposed to be that many lights there." As soon as I thought this, some of the lights went out. I immediately realized that I made that happen and was very excited about being able to do this. It was a great adventure to explore my dream potential from that point. I also remember the first time I dreamed of breathing underwater. It was a deep clear pool of water that reflected the moon through the tree tops. I tried to hold my breath at first and then let my anxiety go and took a deep breath. It felt different from breathing air but filled me with wonder to know I could do this.
