Originally posted by Lucid83 POST ONLY YOUR FIRST LUCID DREAM!!! I was senior member of a team of the International Explorers, much on the model of Sir Richard Francis Burton's exploits to Mecca and to the source of the Nile, some hundred and fifty years ago. I was going over maps inside of a tent. There was some unanswered question that compelled me, and I was trying to solve some mystery, and was going over every detail available to me, without much luck UNTIL I realized that I was dreaming. It suddenly startled me how real of of the papers, notebooks and maps looked... the texture of the canvas, the grain of the wood in the frames of the old style folding chairs. Then I thought, why stay inside this musty old tent, and I opened the flap and walked outside, and again I was startled by the poignancy of the details... in the exactness of the pebbles and gravel at my feet, as well as the grandeur of the mountain and valley landscape... it so happened I was on top of a mountain to solve this mystery that so pursued my interest. Although it was my first Lucid Dream, I was no stranger to Dream Flying and decided to take off in flight.

I was at a prom / ball and I ventured outside to see where all my friends had gone. I looked up at the big building I had come out of, and there was a secret door there on a balcony, which is where everyone had gone. I had no idea how to get to it, then I realised I was dreaming and I made myself get on that balcony. Exactly how I did get up there I don't remember, but I opened the secret door and there were all my friends. The dream carried on and I lost lucidity. TB

My first lucid dream happened when I was probably 9 or 10 years old. I was having a nightmare about being chased by some kind of monster. At some point during the dream I thought to myself "this can't be real, it must be a dream, and if I can just make myself wake up then I'll be OK". I did manage to wake myself up, and after that I was never scared of things in my dreams.

I have to say...Dunno. I've had countless thousands of dreams, whereof about 80 percent of them, have been lucid dreams, since i've always been able to lucid dream, so for short: My first lucid dream=?!??!??!????

I'll have to post two dreams because I can't seem to remember which one of them came before the other. I was about 10 years old at the time. I was in the middle of a mall in a food court. Something was a little bit off and I suddenly had the realization that I was dreaming. I think I all I did was look around. I think it lasted for about 5 minutes. This dream, as I recall, may have happened shortly after the previously mentioned LD. I was walking up the road up a hill toward my grandparents house. Then I wondered how I got there and where I came from. I looked around and things didn't make much sense. I decided to decide I was dreaming (this has always been what I do.. instead of RCing I just assume I'm dreaming. This seems to assure that I don't doubt my lucidity). I was very excited and wanted to see if I could memorize things. I looked at the houses, the colors of the houses and the house numbers to see if I could verify their validity the next day. As it happened, I forgot all of the details completely.

My first happed naturally. March of this year (2005) . I was standing there and realized I was dreaming. I looked to my right and there were three people (men) standing there. I shouted to them ”Praise The Lord, Thank You Jesus” over and over again. I was so happy. I have flown in my dreams many times so I didn’t hesitate to fly up to a higher level of ground. After landing there and looking around I decided to take off and fly some more. Then I felt something pulling me back down as I woke up.

[SIZE=2]~~~My first Lucid dream since joining this site This dream was started by an accidental WILD, by accidental WILD I mean I was sleeping then my alarm went off, so naturally I got up and hit snooze knowing that it could have made me late, so I went and laid back down with my lamp on and tried not to fall asleep (I was trying to wake up slowly) but I inevitably fell asleep but while I was falling asleep I managed to keep consciousness and entered the dream world and found myself still in bed, I had no idea at the time that I was dreaming so I walked into the hallway and to my surprise there were two huge six foot mechanical wolves experimenting with the birds and the bees I then continued walking amazed at what I had just seen and then saw my mom standing in a room in front of me, I went in and she started saying how I was going to be late, I then looked at the clock and it said it was 9:47 (yes I remember that) I was then freaked out considering that I had to leave for work by 8:20, so then I remembered what I had learned from this site and decided to see if I was dreaming, so I looked away and then back at the clock and it had jumped about three hours so seeing as to how this was my first LD in years I decided to try everything at once so I ran at super speed to the door leading outside, I ran outside and then jumped into the air to fly, suddenly my calves lifted about 5 feet into the air but unfortunately my face was burrowing throw the ground (I was going like 20 mph) then I decided to turn invisible while flying to hide my stupidity, the "camera" then went into third person view and I saw myself turn invisible, I then suddenly awoke finding that it was still sometime around 7 AM -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I could remember my first lucid I would be the happiest man ever.

My first lucid dream (that lasted more than a few seconds) happened a month or 2 ago. I was upstairs in my room, and it suddenly went from night time to day time, and I did a reality check (breathing through plugged nose) and I was dreaming. I went downstairs by floating, and found my sister and her friend sitting on the couch, so I thought i'd be funny and show off and do stuff they couldn't.I tried Telekinesis, but couldn't get it, so instead, I plugged my nose and breathed out of it and laughed when they tried doing it. Next I went outside to explore, but instead of doing that, I had the bright Idea to try Time Travel, and just ended up waking up.

Posted: Sun Jan 04, 2004 10:01 am In my dream I am dreaming. I wake up in my room and my computer screen is up. I look at my brother and I realize that I look at him look at me and he looks weird and he is making a weird look at me. I get a little scared. I look at the clock in my room and I see that it is fuzzy. I look for my glasses and I put them on and I look and the clock is still fuzzy. I slowly get out of my bed and I am more relaxed now because I realize that this is a dream. My brother does not scare me anymore. I get out and my blanket follows me for a while because it feels so long. I get in the hallway and I walk in the living room. The windows are open and it is raining outside. I look at the digital clock on the floor and it is fuzzy. I close my eyes and try spinning but I am still in the same place. Then I decide to fly. I start lifting off of the ground and I feel the sensation of flying. I go above the ceiling and I am in the attic. I try to fly higher but I start to wake up.

Yeah, my first LD was very low level lucidity, but it was still amazing to realize I was dreaming... So, it was late November, and I'd known about LDs for a week or two, so they were constantly on my mind (I briefly was on DV too, I should have joined then ). Well, anyways, I was under a lot of stress at the time, and when I went to sleep, I remember dreaming that I was falling through this swirling tube of psychedelic colors, and I though "wow, this is too unreal to be real life, I must be dreaming", so when i reached the other end I was like all exited I was having an LD and I started like chasing around these things that looked like giant pink fluff bag (probably because I was losing lucidity), so then I woke up all excited! ^^ IF YOU CAN READ THIS THEN YOU DON\'T NEED GLASSES (sorry, just felt like saying that)

I woke up in the morning, recalling a dream that I'd just had. I picked up my MP3 player to record what had happened in the dream, and turned it on. I pressed the record button, but the file from the dream I had recorded earlier in the night started playing back. I thought I must have pressed the wrong button, so I tried to stop it, but nothing happened, so I checked the display, which looked all weird, like it had crashed. I then noticed that I hadn't even put the ear phones in, so I shouldn't be able to hear anything! Could I be dreaming? Device failure, text looking funny. Hmm... Time to do a reality check. I got out of bed a jumped into the air, and wheeeeeeee! I floated across my room and bumped into the wall! I remember thinking to myself; "I have LUCIDITY!!!". I could hardly believe that it had happened so soon. Before Sunday I didn't even know what a lucid dream was, and now I was already in one! Everything changed as a result. I remember noticing how awesomely bright, vivid and realistic dreams actually are compared to when you only remember them after they've occurred. Okay, so I'm dreaming. What now? I decided to try a few basics to see if I could get the hang of things. I tried to make a post box appear in my room by closing my eyes for a few seconds, but when I opened my eyes again, everything had gone, and all was black, and I thought that the dream was ending. I remembered the spinning technique to stay in the dream, and started spinning around on the spot, and sure enough, I was back in my room in dream land, but no post box had appeared. So next I decide to go outside and try flight, which has always been a natural thing for me in normal dreams. I decided that the quickest way to get outside was to pass through the large glass window. That didn't work, and I bumped my head into it as I tried to float through it. Okay, so no ability to pass through solid objects. I must use the three doors leading to outside instead. I decided that on the way out, I would give the creation thing a second attempt. This time, instead of closing my eyes, I decided that there would be a woman standing on the other side of the door to the kitchen. I opened the door and there is no-one there. I laughed when I noticed that everything in the kitchen had actually disappeared, cupboards, sink, cooker, everything. The room was entirely empty. I went through the door leading to next room, again trying to impose my will and expectation that there would be someone behind the door, but again it failed. This room seemed more-or-less normal. I repeated this once more with the door leading outside. When I got outside, things were somewhat different from normal. The garden arrangement had changed completely and there were some steps leading down a rectangular hole in the middle of the garden. Strangely, I didn't think anything was out of the ordinary about this. So I was outside, in the beautiful light emitted by the dream of my mind, and everything looked so amazing and real. I decided I would give the flight a test. I jumped and landed on the roof of the house. It was a very cool floaty sort of jump. This was really awesome. I spent the remaining few minutes of the dream jumping really high across the rooves of houses, and then found a road to go a do huge somersalt jumps over the cars. Again, the road was one that doesn't actually exist in reality, but I really didn't think anything of this. I woke up whilst in the midst of a somersalt about 100 metres above a road. I never did manage to remember the dream that I was intending to record when I had the false awakening.

In the dream I am aware that I am dreaming. I don't know how I did this it is just the way it was. The dream started like a film reel and I was watching a movie. It is a western and I wonder why I am watching this since I think westerns are stupid. Then the dream changes and I am on the movie set and I am watching the scene being filmed. I do not like the way the scene is progressing and I feel very strongly that I want to change things. They are getting ready to kill a woman. She is tied up and cannot escape. I find myself in the director's body. I yell cut and give the actors new direction and then let the scene proceed. I wake up after this and am very curious about what just happened.

[Drangon]

I'm in my room, but something isn't right. I can't lay my finger on it tho... WTF? Why is a computer mainboard embedded in the cupboard? I raise my left hand to eye level and examine it. It is too long and fragile and sort of blurred. "Yup. Dreaming." I think to myself. All remaining doubt is removed when I turn around and face the window. It seems to be bigger than normal, and instead of showing the house on the other side of the street, a beautiful sky at dawn presents itself. It kinda reminds me of Coruscant in the Star Wars prequel series. I want to fly out there. My plan is to levitate upwards until I reach the center of the room and then get out through the window, but my feet hardly leave the ground. I close my eyes in order to concentrate harder. What is this pressure on my face? I open my eyes, but can't see anything. After a few seconds I realize that I must be lying in my bed - face down. A _really_ weird sensation with the feeling of vertically hovering in the room still lingering.

My First Lucid Dream; Tues. May 17, 2005. I was in a house that I knew was mine (not my real house, just a random house that i seemed to be living in) and I realized something was missing. All I remember is that is wasn't a deck of cards. SO ran next door into my brothers house that looked pretty much like the house I was just in. I found a deck of cards and thought: "This is the thing he took, now I can go back to my house." So then I ran out the front door and it was kind of a ranch setting with a few trees in front of me.My brother started chasing me then and I realized that my running from him was beginning to get harder, as if I was trying to run while in water( this is a common dreamsign in my dreams but I never thought to RC before). But he kept coming. So on impulse I realized: "Hey, this is what always happens in my dreams, so I must be dreaming, because it just can't happen in real life. I was now lucid and began to become excited. I spastically turned around and faced my brother and he stopped, confused. So i jumped into the air, and slowly lifted into the air. I was amazed. As I rose to about twenty feet high, I began to observe my surroundings, There was a lake about 1 mile behind the houses, so I floated off to the lake. And then I saw the beauty of the sun on the lake, and was overwhelmed, so I awoke.

Well, I remember my very 1st one, but b/c I was so young & couldn't even talk until I was 4 (I don't know why, but I seemed to develop a bit slower in that), it was a very low LD. At least I was able to make it a WILD(reason being I would suffer terrible insomnia, & couldn't fall asleep until my body did, which would make me stay up until 1AM) on the very 1st one...I was 3: I knew 1st hand since I had followed the preschool imagery into a dream & that I was finally able to move, I was dreaming. Then I was at my preschool, hanging out & socializing w/people that I didn't know (though I couldn't talk in there, they were still able to understand what I was saying). Then the teacher came & told us a story I never heard b4. I didn't try to grasp control of the LD, b/c I didn't know how during this time). I was so surprised about all of this, & that this was all a Dream that I woke up....in SP an hour later(though it has never scared me...I just wondered why I couldn't move, then my mind relaxed & brought me to the 2nd LD)! I know my 1st one was retarded, but I was only 3!!!

[skaterboyryan]

wow my first lucid dream... LAST NIGHT! I was running though some caves in a internet game and all was normal till I saw something that wasn’t even in that game! I had only just found out about lucid dreams so I knew the words and I thought "I must be dreaming" the feeling was amazing I felt like I was flying really fast and my mind thought "wow my 1st lucid dream on my 1st day of trying" I got to excited and woke up I even didn’t know it would feel like that but I’m still happy!

My first lucid dream lasted only a few seconds, but it was intense in realism and feelings. I was in a field, with a very fairy ambiance, butterflys and the likes, the sun was hot, and I had total control of myself. I could look around 360 degrees, I could feel the grass under my feet, I could feel the warmth of the sun on my skin. When I tried to move and go look into a small bush, I woke up That was my first lucid dream experiment.

[Threeman]

Yeah, I remember my first one, well the first I can remember. It all started in a school hall,I was holding a plastic-sword? Anyway I dropped it and started running, then I ran on the wall and quickly jumped out of a small opened window.Next thing I knew that I was flying towards the sky. I saw a thunderstorm coming and I realized it wasn't safe to be near thunder because it could hit me(Watched a show on TV regarding thunder hitting people before the dream).Then I went back lower and lower... I think the dream stopped there because I can't remember anything else happening after that. Sorry for the bad english though...

[deeptrance]

Hmm, I think my first LD went something like this. I was standing in my room. It was dark, so I attempted to turn on the light. It wouldn't turn on, so I assumed it was burned out. I turned and looked at the mirror by my door, and realized that I look a whole lot different than in real life. It was then I came to the conclusion I was dreaming. I instantly felt my body become sort of heavy, and I felt my self in my bed in real life. I knew the dream would end soon, so I suppressed my emotions and allowed my dream to continue and I observed it without changing anything. I walked through the door, and on the other side there is a large escalator descending into a large Japanese shopping mall in front of my door. I walked down the escalator and turned left where I encountered another mirror. I then realized that my dream really isn't fading, so I decided to take control. I step through the mirror and found myself in a large auditorium. The crowd was silently focused on me. "These people want a show," I thought to myself. I then jumped up 50 feet into the air and slowly somersaulted to the ground. The crowd roared with applause. While they were cheering, my dream began to fade for real this time, and I found myself laying in my bed.

[LucidLife]

Well my first Lucid Dream happened about a year ago, and i think it came due to a high level of alcohol consumption the previous night. I had no idea about Dream Signs and Reality Checks, so I wasnt aware of what was exactly happening. In fact at that point, If you said Lucid Dream to me, I would have no idea what you were talking about. I was at a school, not one of my former schools, just any school. I was in class, and the teacher was telling the class to be quiet. That Is when I went Lucid, and I jumped on the table and jumped from table to table. Then I ran out the class room and i was running across the lockers, like wall riding, without touching the ground. Then I woke up, It was very brief. Ever since then I havent had another Lucid Dream, however I have been highly interested in the whole LD experience. I did have a Reality Check in 1 dream about 3 nights ago, but I woke up almost instantly after I said to myself I was dreaming....I am devoted to making LD's part of my life! I think it is something quite special.

This was my only Lucid dream so far, and it was about 2 years ago. I thought it was just a weird dream until a few days ago when I heard about Lucid dreams. It started like a normal dream, though a bit long, and very random(now that I think about it I may have just been remembering earlier dreams). Eventually I started talking with a friend, and I suggested that we do something crazy. He said no, but I was like, "But it's only a dream!" Then I woke up.
