So a few nights ago I had my first lucid dream experience. It was so amazing!! I remember I was on the balcony of a hotel overlooking the beach at night. It was the most beautiful scene you could imagine. Standing next to me was this beautiful girl looking out at the ocean with me. We were talking I assume. Something clicked and I remembered someone telling me to try and look at your hands in a dream and you might gain control. So I did and all of a sudden I felt different. I looked at the girl and all she said was "Yes" and smiled. All I remember is stretching my hand out toward the ocean and causing a tidal wave to emerge from the horizon and come roaring towards us. Right as it hit, I woke up. Best dream I've had in a long time if not ever.

So tell me, what was ya'll's first lucid dream and how did you invoke it?
