Thread: first lucid dream!

I have started this 2 weeks ago, and been keeping a Dream Journal for a week now and I finally had a Lucid Dream. It was really quick though. But what I'm not sure though is that I've heard people talking about dreaming that your having a lucid dream and im not sure if this is what it was. Well my dream:

For some reason i did a RC( plugged my nose ) and then I got out of my bed and as soon as i stood up i felt lightheaded and everything got dark and it was like I was sliding down some really dark slid. I got scared and then all of a sudden I was in my room again. I wanted to go somewhere else cause it was really creepy, so I tried to think of a beach to go to but I could never get there. Then i looked at my hands to do a RC and it failed. So i started rubbing them together and they felt a weird and sticky.

I'm pretty sure it was a LD, but i don't know if i was just dreaming i was having a Lucid Dream

Well done on your first lucid! Mine was really quick to start off with literally a second, but they do get better gradually!

If you were aware that you were dreaming and were able to control thoughts, if not actions then this was a lucid dream. Congratulations

Always remember that a lucid dream is where you are aware that you are dreaming, if you are aware that you are dreaming then you are having a lucid dream, i think you definately had a lucid dream, congratulations

Alright thanks ya'll and I hope that finnally getting the first one will make it a bit easier in the future!

Congrats on your first lucid dream!

And yes, your lucids should only get better and longer with experience.
