Hello,
This will be an introduction of myself and lil story to go with it. Im 17 years old and i live in Australia. I enjoy rollerblading, comedy and having just a general good time. I suspect i will be spending a bit of time on this forum, because just yesterday i heard about lucid dreaming

I kind of just stumbled accross the idea today when looking up about hallucenations, i found it interesting that eyes could see that didnt really happen. Anyway, i was very skeptical of this lucid dream thing until last night. But i decided to try it out with an open mind, i looked up a guide on how to do it, and followed some steps.

I wrote down a few of the steps, and i stared at my hands and said to myself for maybe 5 minutes "While im dreaming, i will see my hands and realize im in a dream". Id also read something else about it, it was about mirrors, and the advice given was to try to avoid looking at them.

Now i fell asleep, And i know i was normal dreaming at first, but in my normal, uncontrolled dream, i looked into a mirror. And a connection was made instantly from some text i read "You may appear blurry in the mirror", and i was. And i thought "Oh wow, this is a dream", and the second i ended that sentence i experienced something really freaking scary.

prior to looking into the mirror, i remember talking to a man (Stewart) that i live with, and entering the bathroom. When i looked in the mirror and noticed i was dreaming, instantly i became lucid.... But just as quickly It was almost as if my brain said "WTF??? You shouldnt know that" and i lost complete control. i couldnt control the fact i was having a seizure (in the dream, not in RL), and everything was blurry, not just me in the mirror. I fell to the ground, and im trying to gasp for Stewarts aid, but i couldnt, i was unable to speak, i was unable to think, just sheer terror came over me, complete helplessness... I was trapped by this unknown power that was saying with its actions (such as blurring my vision and forcing me to convulse) "NO, this ISNT going to happen" Then i woke up.

It was so incredibly vivid, that it has nearly brought be to tears, and im a teenage boy... not trying to be sterotypical, but i dont cry very often from being scared of something, but this was truly horrible.

I had no idea ANYTHING would happen the first night trying.
