Hey guys,

Well last night I went to bed, didn't really set much of an intention to have a lucid dream. Just watched the formula 1 on iplayer for the 50th time but struggled to get to sleep. I eventually did. I woke in the night but just went back to sleep. Before the final time I woke up thats where the magic happened. I had my first lucid dream. I have to say it was one of the most amazing things I've ever experienced!
The dream nearly ended as soon as it began but I started touching the walls to cement myself in the dream. That worked thankfully. And I went about my business exploring my grandmothers and grandfathers old house. I won't go into all the detail to save time. I managed to go outside and looked at the sky and thought damn it would be cool to fly and I saw the trails left behind by planes. I did try flying but it didnt work. I went up to a dream character later on in the dream just to have a bit of fun and said, "Hi, do you know you're in my dream?" To which she replied "No! That's amazing" I was so disappointed when the dream ended because my phone went off which was next to me. I wanted to try so much more. Hopefully next time!

congratulations on your first lucid

the first time you lucid is great because it gets you a taste of what you can actually do and see within a LD ..and makes you more determined to have more

its a great tool to boost confidence
flying can be hard ive only done it a couple times and theres alot of different techniques people use to achieve it such as the zoom in- zoom out using fingers ect or just simply focusing on an object in the sky like the moon or a star ( if dark)
keep experimenting and have some fun you'l have your own ways to achieve certain things within a LD which maybe different to anyone else in the forums.
Well done and good luck for your next

Hmm... if you start off like this then you should get dreams for a whole week then it gets weaker and weaker. Goodluck!

Congrats on the first lucid!

Were you actually fully expecting to fly when you were doing it? Expectation is very important for dream control, check out this tutorial: Dream Control Tutorial - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views , also there's an tutorial especially about flying Flying Tutorial - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views .

Good luck next time!

I was kind of didnt know what to expect so I think that's what hindered me. I did try changing the scenery aswell because it was night time and I wanted it to be daytime but that didnt work either. More practice is needed I think!

Yes keep practicing.. The most important thing to remember is that your conscious expectation plays a major role. If you question your own ability to manifest new scenes, then your abilities will falter.. so remain confidence..
