Before tonight, I had thought about trying lucid dreaming techniques again, since school just let out, allowing me to modify my sleep schedule however I want. However, last night was just like the rest, I lie down on my bed, fall asleep, nothing unusual.

My dreams through out the night had to do with school, a common dream sign during the summer for me. I did not pick up on the fact that I was dreaming, until I showed up at school, at night. No one was around, and I was locked inside, I was a little spooked. After some time passed on, I had jokingly thought to myself, "How does this happen? I must be in a dream or something, heh, yeah, a dream..." Doh. I then became lucid, however, the dream started to fade. I can't really explain, but I was able to stay in by just "concentrating", not getting excited, but focusing on the environment of the dream, and somehow it worked.

Anyway, I then did the thing I wanted to do most; fly. I started by running at the walls of the school, then I took off. As I flew through the walls, I accelerated toward the city. I could feel the rush of the wind underneath me, taking me higher into the sky, as if I were a kite. I can't stress enough how real it felt! I could feel the wind rush past my body, I could see everything as clear as I can see now, awake. (or am I?)

Unfortunately, the dream ended abruptly with a false awakening, and I lost lucidity. I had had "lucid" dreams before, meaning I knew I was in a dream, however, they were no where near as vivid as this one, and I always woke up before I got the chance to do anything.

TL;DR Lucid Dreaming is awesome.

I have a few questions; is this vividness common? and do lucid dreams generally get longer in duration as you get "better"? Also, what was your first lucid dream like?
