So a few years ago I had been introduced to the idea of lucid dreaming, but after a few weeks of trying to attain one with no result, I gave up and moved on. However, just a few nights ago, a friend of mine let me borrow the movie "Waking Life", and the urge to become lucid while dreaming came back in full force. As I fell asleep that night, a few things occurred that have never happened to me before while sleeping/dreaming.
As I was asleep, I felt myself become concious of the fact that I was about to dream right before I actually entered my dream, and I started to feel these intense rushes of energy in my body. I then woke up in the room I originally fell asleep in, however, the digital clock above my bed said it was 7:52 at night, although it was still daytime outside my window, almost exactly as bright as it was when I went to bed at 3:30 pm. I then proceeded to check the light-switch, but it would not work and the lights in the room would not shut off. I came to the conclusion at this point that I was dreaming, and the first that came to mind was to fly.
I started to levitate to the ceiling, and as I reached it, the first thought that came to mind was that I could just go through it, and I just kept rising, moving through it as if it were water. I eventually was above my roof, but then a person ran past me and jumped off it, and I freaked because I doubted that it was a dream and if this was real, he would be dead, this last thought pushing me out of sleep.
I was just wondering if anything similar to this has happened to anybody here on their first time, and what I could do to stay in the dream longer? (I have another one since then, but it ended as quickly as the first)
