Thread: First Lucid!!!

Hey guys,

This is my first post on the forum as I didn't think there was much point even posting until I had my first lucid.
Anyway for about a month now I have been doing reality checks (the one I do most is holding my nose to see if I can breath.) Before, I hadn't had much success apart from feeling a bit of SP setting in
HOWEVER... Last night I was so tired I went straight to bed and didn't bother trying to WILD as usual or anything.
After falling asleep I started to have a REALLY vivid dream about being in a computer simulation.
In the simulation I was fighting this massive burning living statue while falling off a building. The next thing I know I am walking through an alleyway and over a bridge but I keep bumping into old school friends I haven't seen in years which was obviously odd.
The next thing I know I have woken up in my bathroom at home but for I decide to pinch my nose to test for a false awakening and... I can breath and I become lucid! I run back to my dream bed and close my eyes saying when I open them I will be in a new dream scene and I am instantly taken to a beautiful Forrest somewhere in snowy mountains.
To be honest I was a bit skeptical about how realistic LDs are supposed to feel but the experience felt overwhelming real. I feel a cold mist in the air and can smell the pine trees. My vision is sharp and in focus too. I decide the thing I want to do most is fly so I jump into the air and soar above the trees like it's the most natural thing in the world. The sky is all sorts of beautiful colors and I can feel the air rushing through my hair.
I remember that LDs don't last long and that I need to make the most of it. I shout out to the dream "Show me something interesting!" all of a sudden a load of paintings are shown in front of my face. Abstract ones, one of them being a giant fish trying to kiss the planet! I cant remember the rest... After a while the dream gets shaky and I can tell its disappearing so I spin around in a circle to try and repair it but I wake up in my bed BUT again I decide to pinch my nose and find I am still dreaming!!!
2 false awakenings caught in one night! This time I just close my eyes and find myself in a porch. I open the door but I just run into another door. After running through about 5 doors in a row I tell myself that the next door will take me somewhere interesting. I open the door and I am on the roof of a house in Persia (or some other hot dessert city) and someone tells me the government are injecting a worm into peoples ears so that if they laugh at unapproved things their heads explode! The next thing I know I am Thor from the Avengers and am flaying towards the city to save people (Along with an Arabian man that has just turned into the Hulk!) After flying through the city I end up fighting Joe Perry (From Aerosmith!) who is throwing electrified tiles at me... Anyways after that I wake up and instantly write down details on my phone which I have ready for writing in.
The thing is the more I started waking up the more the dream started to feel like a distant memory and the feelings of realness faded although I KNOW at the time it felt as real as waking life...
Now I know I can do it and how real the dreams feel I am inspired to try again and again.

Thanks for reading.

Sam.
