Thread: Scared the Sh*t out myself

So im kinda new to the lucid dreaming world But there I was yesterday night trying to enter a lucid dream. So I was laying there for about 20 mins and I felt my self entering the transition phase. I could hear a change in my hearing as this wave came over me, so I was pretty excited that after months of trying it was finally working. All of a sudden I hear the loudest bang, at which point I opened my eyes and saw a blue flash. This scared the living daylights outta me

Lol quite funny now but damn for a second I thought it was part of the transition phase or part of entering the dream. Turns out the power grid on the street shorted or blewup. But I was pissed

But my experience ended well as at about 3am the burgler alarm went off because of no power and so I turned that off and went back to sleep. It was a little while after that I had my first lucid dream and I didnt even try to have one then.

I woke up (or so I thought in my room back at home) I was amazed actually how real it all seemed, but then I remembered that this cant be right because im on holiday right now and I dont remember taking my flight back home, it was then when I became lucid. Didnt last too long though maybe 15 mins.

But im excited now lol so hoping theres loads more lucid dreams to come.

Hehehe and congrats on your lucid dream! Waking up a couple of times during that night probably contributed to you becoming lucid!

Congratulations on your first lucid dream and may your next one come sooner than later!

Congratulations. And may your next one not require random explosions in your neighborhood.

Man, that would piss me off. Last night I was laying there and suddenly this bright light appeared on my ceiling. It startled me a little. Then I realized it was my stupid cell phone displaying the "battery done charging" screen and would be dimming in a few seconds, which it did, but that brought me back to full conciousness.

Anyway, welcome.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Lol I think im traumatised now keep expecting lound explosions when im trying to relax and enter a ld.
Oh yeah whats up with the people who say they hear things like screams and see people on the end of thier beds. That would really freak me out

Ive thought ive heard screams on the odd occasion and i've thought i've heard someone calling me. I guess it's just a mystery
