Thread: Finally had my first LD

Ok, so I layed down on my bed after a hard day on the boat (I'm in the Navy).
I obviously feel asleep, and without trying to WILD I started dreming.

This dream was so real it seemed like all I did was get out of bed after laying down for a minute, but I somehow knew it was a dream.
I forgot to do any of the normal reality checks like looking at my hand ect, I started to spin around to make the dream stable ( I've read so many posts saying thats a good thing to do). To check If it was a dream, I headed out on to the deck to see if there was anything unusual there.
When I got out, everything around me was completly normal (same location, time of day and so on). Also there were no alarms different lighting or shattering glass (usual dream signs).
Desperate to see if all this was actully real I concidered jumping overboard, but didn't since I was so unsure if I was dreaming or not.
Instead I figured I could try to fly.
I reached up and jumped as high as I could while being absolutely determined to fly. Surely enough..I was flying!
Being thrilled about being lucid, I started to see how high I could go, but was quickly stopped by this rope kind of thing arround my waist. Though it seemed like it was coming out of my stomach (wierd) and was attached to the boat beneath me..
This rope started to tug on me and it made me loose my "balance" in the air, making me fall back down. As I hit the deck, I woke up.
