First Lucid Dream: A living nightmare.

[Sandoz]

Well I completely fell out of my routine of reality checks and writing down my dreams and last night I was lying down listening to my mp3 playler (DJ Tiesto rocks...or raves arrrrgh you get what I mean) and then started thinking of lucid dreaming and what it would be like and then feel asleep and started dreaming, weird crap happened involing a dog smoking a cigar and a cat drinking a whole 10 glass bottle of vodka out in the middle of an unfamiliar street then a few 'dream hours' later (you know what I mean) I realised thee cat should have been drunk...well pissed actually and I remember, 'hey cats don't drink alcohol and when was the last time I seen a dog smoke, hell ima dreaming' then a dude came walking down the street with a stereo and he was playing exactly the song I was listening to before I went to sleep, I shouted over to him to change the song, he turned around and just stared at me, I asked him if he was okay and he threw the stero at me, he missed and the stereo caught fire, strangly enough the fire was black, then the dog came up to me and put his cigar out on my jeans...my new jeans to be that, then the stero started to roll towards me and then I woke up and thought 'phew thanks god that psycotic stero and dog is away, but then I realised I wasn't in my bedroom, or even my bed for that matter, I was in a hospital bed, I jumped up adn ran over to a woman sitting at a desk and assumed she was the ward nurse and tried talking to her, but she ignored me and so did everyone else for that matter then I saw myself lying on the bed, with a drip in my arm and all thoes wires over me, then I got a rushing sensation and the next thing I knew I was flying over woodland areas, I spread my arms out like wings and looked at them, they weren't there, then the sky turned black thunder erupted and I heard the voices of what i can only describe of as 'demented souls' crying, screaming and then I saw them, images of pain, terror, death, trouble, strife, then I too started screaming, I then heard something smash, A man laughing a woman and a child crying, I closed my eyes shut and started rocking my head back and forth then I felt a thund and pain searing threw my head, the screaming and voices stopped, everything stopped and I heard a yelp and the feeling of pressure being relieved from my stomach, I opened my eyes to see my dog running out of my room and realised I was awake and thought, 'Holy shit, scary biscuits' and looked at the time, it was roughly 1:55AM and I went to sleep at about 12:30, that hour and 20 mins of dreaming felt like an entire lifetime, I realised I was covered in sweat so got up and put a towel over my bed sheet and went back to bed, woke up ata bout 8:30 and nearly killed myself for not writing down what I dreamed, but I remember it clear as a bell. At the time of waking up (the first time) I was still scared shitless, afraid to move, even breath but now I realise the significance of this and from now on I'm going to make much more of an effort.

Auch.... that wasnt the best LD you could have ... But its valuable dreaming material....what can you get out of this.... does all this imagery relate to some feelings? Pressure, fear, stress..... If this happens again. Try staying calm and analyze the situation, its all in your mind and your creation alone. Your in controll and thats important. But if you do experience problems controlling it, you can, if you feel ready, confront the dream scenario. But most importanly dont let this scare you from being lucid or dreaming for that sake. You can only get stronger by moving forwards.

wow, i would have quit if that was my first ld but they get better also you say that you were only asleep for an hour with no prior sleep but from that morning and you WILDed? that explains why everything was so wild and jerking from one scene to the next

and you WILDed?[/b] I didn't use any techinique to induce it, it just happened. Also all of my dreams, lucid and otherwise are always jerking about and changing.
