Tornado, I will describe the dream I had and maybe you all can help determine if it was lucid. Keep in mind that I don't remember the majority of the dream just the last few moments. But it was in that time I believe I achieved lucidity.

My First LD

After a series of events I found myself in my apartment with Joel and Jason. We were simply lounging around on the couches talking about how we should move in together to save money. I decided to go outside to my porch to have a smoke. Immediately I realized that someting was off, because my normally concrete porch was now a freshly tilled dirt flowerbed. (At that point I became consciously aware that I had to be dreaming). I then noticed that the cigarette in my mouth became a Chapstick brand lip balm. Yet another sign that things were not right. I thought to myself that I must be having a lucid dream and challenged myself to jump off my porch to street level, eight steps below. I was apprehensive at first but reassured myself that I was dreaming and I wouldn't get hurt. I jumped, and did so in a weightless, bounding manner. I was exhilirated. But, then I felt myself trying to hold on, knowing that I was about to wake up. I wanted to stay and experiment a bit more. I then woke up. (Interestingly, upon waking I physically [I]felt[I] myself getting sucked back into the real world).

So that was it. I will be starting a dream journal to record my regular dreams as well as the lucid ones that hopefully will materialize.
