First lucid dream

[dangerfield]

I've been trying to lucid dream for a while but I was never successful until now. In my dream I went to my friend's house and I had a look at his iPad. When I picked it up I could see a reflection of myself, but the reflection was of my friend. That is, because I was in my friend's house I was actually him. I then realised that I didn't feel different, so I looked down at myself and realised I was still me, the reflection didn't match what I saw when I looked down. It then hit me that this situation was simply too absurd to be real and that this was a dream. My friend was then suddenly in front of me, I started to tell him but realised I was wasting a valuable lucid dream so walked outside to do something. On the way out I saw my friend's brother and his ear was at a weird angle but I knew it was like that because I was dreaming. I had to go and do something with this dream but I didn't know what. I just knew going outside would be a good idea. I decided to make a hot air balloon appear in the sky. I figured if I just decided that it would appear. It didn't though, all I saw was sky and then I woke up. Not the most exciting lucid dream you'll hear of but I'm just glad to finally have one.

Any first lucid is an accomplishment, well done! (was certainly cooler than mine!)

I love the way we notice and obsess over the little things in lucid dreams, like someone's ear being strange. Even if nothing exciting happens, wandering around being lucid is just a cool feeling.
