Thread: First experience of becoming Lucid

Hello all,

A few nights ago i had my first Lucid Dream. I will now proceed to bore you all with the details. I remember being aboard a passenger plane bound for Dubai. As the aircraft descended, i peered out of the window to see a dark, vast, dried out landscape which looked like it hadn't seen a drop of rain in centuries. As the aircraft approached the runway i felt it rotate 180 degrees and immediately found myself sitting in the cockpit of what seemed like a military Helicopter, with two Pilots to my right in control and lowering the aircraft to the ground. This is when i said to myself "this is a dream, there is no other explanantion for what just happened. I then looked at the display in the cockpit and every time i looked away and looked back again, the numbers appeared to be different in both form and colour. I then proceeded to smack the pilot nearest to me across the head. Bizarre, but i found it amusing at the time.

As many have expressed on the forum, it is hard to contain your initial excitement when you first realise you are dreaming. I found it difficult to control the dream or to even think about what i would like to do with it, as if i was experiencing some form of mental block. After the point of smacking the pilot across the head, i found myself in Amsterdam. I remember walking through the city and the cafe's and bars were full of soldiers from the Allies and of German allegiance, who had died in the second world war, all of them still in their uniforms.

Hoping this means there are more LD's to come in the near future!
