Hi everyone,

My name is Esmeralda , I'm 19 years old and I'm a Dutch student living in Amsterdam. I have always been sceptical when it comes to lucid dreaming. I never believed in it. I always thought: a dream is just a film made of thoughts and actions. A friend of mine always told me about her lucid dreams, she had trained herself when she was a little kid to escape the boogie man in her dreams. She has a cue or something like that.
So I was a non-believer....until a couple of days ago. I was dreaming for a while and suddenly I was travelling. I was in a train and then it was like I woke up in my dream. I looked around for a couple of seconds. The next stop was not even close to my house. I just pressed the button to go out of the train the next stop. It felt so trange. I was happy and excited at first but then I got scared, because I realized I didn't know what would happen next and that sort of freaked me out and I woke up.
I am still a bit overwhelmed by it and I started searching lucid dreams and I found this site. I just want to relive that moment again and not be freaked out by it I am willing to put a lot of effort in this and I don't care if it takes years I am hooked now
I actually don't even know if this was a lucid dream, It sure was something I have never experienced before.
I think the best thing to do right now is to start reading some of the topics here and make new friends
