Your First Lucid Dream

I don't know what my first lucid dream was, that was long ago. But, I remember the first lucid dream that I had when I was trying to dream lucidly.

I had just walked into the lobby of a large, magnificent office building. It had a shaft that led right up to the top of the building and a long window along one side, letting the sun in. The floors of the building had balconies on the inside of this shaft. Something went flying by (I never knew what it was). Suddenly I realized I was dreaming.

As was my practice at the time, I looked at my hands (after Casteneda). Then I started looking around a lot. Everything was amazingly VIVID. I just started floating and bouncing off the balconies on my way up the shaft. It was exhilarating. I wondered what was on the different floors, made my way over to a balcony. Then I woke up.

Mine took place in some random house I had never seen before, but I lived there apparently. I was in the kitchen talking to my mom and stepdad about some random thing, when I noticed the lights were really dim. I went to the wall to flip the switch, but the lightswitch didn't work. At that point I knew I was dreaming and proceeded to bust through the wall and into the streets with my new found Incredible Hulk strength, then I woke up.

My first LD was yeah, about an Umbreon.
I was about 11 at the time, and if I can remember correctly, it scared the $#!* out of me.
Anyway, It was just playing, rolling around in the grass.. I distinctly remember the feel of that grass, and the warmth of that yellow glow.

I'll never forget that dream.
Even if I develop alzheimer's and forget everyone in my family.
never forget it..

had some when i was very young, i was flying in my bed :)

but since i began to relearn it , i had one last night!
My dad and me were trapped in a warehouse, people banging on the door threatnining us, and i realised it was a dream so i teleported out, we went to our house then i woke up :(

But i still knew i was dreaming so i'm happy enough.

My first one was maybe 4-5 years ago. I remember someone broke into my friend's jalopy of a truck during the night and stole his cd player (which was worth more than the jalopy itself). I then had a lucid dream that night where I was in a big city at night hot on the trail of the thiefs (or so I thought) The moment of pure lucidity was amazing. I remember thinking I couldn't wait to tell my best friend about the dream. Nevertheless I lost control shortly and ended up at a Wal-Mart stealing Xbox Consoles by the dozens. But that experience has to rank up there with the first orgasm thats for sure.

Yeah

Yes My first lucid dream! this morning! YEAh YEAH YEAH! :yumdumdoodledum:

So I wake up from my bed, and sit, up. I immediately look at my hands (I have made it a habit) and I have more than five fingers, and the number of fingers is constantly changing. Then I realize i am lucid. I then plug my nose and try to breath with my nose plugged, just to make sure, and I can do that to! So i get out of my bed and I get to the front of my door, I grab my linen hang out pants and put them on, then I try to jump really high and try to levitate, I jump higher than normal and fall slower, but no levitation.

I than run out into the hall way (2nd floor walk way, a wall on one side and railing on the other, the stairs on on the side with he railing, and you can easily see the entrance and my front yard through a big window.) So, I am in the hall way and I hear this machine like sound. I look to my left out the big window and see that Everything is covered in snow, I also see lawn mower parts, I am a little bit frightened and tell myself to think the lawn mower with no evil maniac behind it. When it comes around it doesn't have anyone using it at all, it just goes halfway across my lawn and then like slides over taking itself apart. But the lawn mower sound is still is still going and I see this big orange tractor like thing with a guy in a jump suit mowing across everything. This frightens me and I make a mental note not to go out the front door. I guiding voice in my head is telling me to go get some snow pants, I go into my room and grab this huge pair of gray waterproof pants, I put hem o n and they go above my belly button. I then grab a black sweatshirt with no hood and put that on over them. I run down the stairs and once again try to jump up and fly, and once again I jump higher than normal and fall slower than normal.

I run downstairs and my mom is sitting on the couch, I say this is a lucid dream! and she says I know, so i give her look like, thanks for the sarcasm. I say look at your hands, so she does but just gives me this weird smile. So I try to show here by flying and this time I take of. I am only 2 feet off the ground because I am inside. I fly over and take a cube chocolate from a bowl in the middle of the coffee table. I eat it and put the wrapper next to the the other wrappers. My mom nags me to pick them all up, but I say i am in a hurry and will do it later. So My house isn't the same as usual anymore but I guess I didn't realize this. I am about to go out he front door but think twice because of the lawn mower scene. So I go to a section of my house that I have never seen before and go out side.

It is really snowy. I try to rocket up in the air, but I only seem to go 30 feet while i was aiming for something more like 500 feet. I fly quickly over to the mountains near by and fly up steadily, enjoying the scenery. I am flying up higher now because I used the mountains to kinda get myself up higher. I fly over and see this huge pink cylinder floating in the sky, I fly over to it and fly through the center. I get stuck in the end of it which I think is funny and I start laughing while pulling myself out. I look down at the ground far below and it is desert. I am really high now and can see 4 structures on the ground. They look like drawings that are supposed to be seen from the sky, but they look like a 6 year old drew them. They are just strange swirls. At this point I start slowly losing the dreaming state, and can actually here my brother yelling something down stairs. I can also feel my hands grasping together fairly hard. I refuse to open my eyes but when the image totally phases I get up.

RL: I look at my alarm clock and see that it says 9:07, I am so exited I forget to take my reality check and run down stairs to record my dream.

--I also want to put in here that I used a computer for something, and I was looking at mountains, I don't know where this fitted in though. ( I also left some detail out in the end, because my mom wants me to do something.)

Yah guys so what do you think.

P.S. sorry for all the spelling and grammatical errors

About 8 years ago I was working on techniques to have an OBE. I had never even heard of lucid dreaming except through the ideas in Carlos Castaneda's books, which I didn't really believe. I did believe that some people could induce OBEs, and I was set on learning how.

Eventually I succeeded. After about 25 of those experiences, I read about lucid dreaming for the first time. I didn't relate the two experiences. I read EWLD and bought a Novadreamer, and practiced the exercises.

One morning I had what for me was a typical OBE. I "left my body", and saw myself asleep in bed. I pulled back the covers, and saw I was sleeping in a tuxedo! I knew at that moment that what I thought was an OBE was in reality a dream. I was lucid for the first time. I immediately took off through the ceiling and flew to a tree top. I went for a visit to the home where my children live, and to the place where I used to work. Then I shot into outer space and visited a green planet with green oceans and green aliens on the beach. I went for a swim, then walked around a nearby town. Then I woke up.

My first lucid dream... That was about two or three years ago when I just started. It was actually longer than the dreams ive had afterwards. Hmm how did it go... i dont really remember much. i remember i tried to fly and was able to jump really high. the sky were bright twilight colored and it was at some park like place. i dont even remember what made me lucid hmm... i think i just thought about the possibility of it being a lucid dream, without actually doing a realty check. thats why my lucidity was so poor that i eventually lost it

I've had Lucid Dreams for a long time but this is the first I recorded on this sight.

I was in a room packed with people and they were all talking very loud. I was one of them but I remember becoming Lucid. I wanted to try something so I tryed floting and I was succesful. It was not for long because the loud people around me were so distracting. I tryed to tell them to be quite so I could concentrat but to no avail. I lost recolection and woke up.

It was short and sweet, I loved every minute of it.

So, i just been learning about Lucid laterly. But, i have had them before i knew them. I never thought of the fun you can have with them. I heard it takes alot of trys before you have them, but i have them quite easly. If i want them i usually get them.

Well, I just had my first obtained lucid dream last night. While I have had others, usually I was just trying to wake up in a nightmare, and it had been years since I had a nightmare.

I was in a dream very similar to one I had before. I realized this for a moment while walking through a room at the corner of a hallway, after becoming lucid the world became much more unstable. The walls wavered and lost their substance, and because it was a good dream I gave up the lucidity so I could live more of it out, I don't know if the dream would have really failed if I had kept lucidity, but it felt that way.

I get hired for a porn studio in this dream, but most of the time was spent just setting up the job. Most of all my dreams are just spent walking through overly complex buildings; schools, hotels, office buildings, buildings that serve no purpose but to hide a porn studio.

i was on a car like roller coaster like the train was a car and all my frind were in it and then i realized omg im IN A DREAM... and i told my friends in the dream and they were just like ya ya ok whatever ... and then i want to make a big drop on the roller coaster and IT REALLY HAPPENED it was so cool ... but then i woke up :/ has any one ever told someone else in their dream that they were dreaming????:cool: :banana:

My first, and to my memory only, lucid dream.

I was in a restaurant, eating soup. A fat guy quickly passed me and stole my soup. I saw him running away. Then I thought to myself "Hey, I'm dreaming here. You don't exist. That's MY soup." He vanished and I had my soup back.
Then I found myself lying on the couch in my room, still eating soup. I wanted to watch a movie but didn't feel like getting up and putting the DVD in the player, so I told the DVD player to open and it did. Then I woke.

I had my first LD when I was 8 or so. I was swimming in a jacuzzi and someone put the cover over it while I was underwater. I tried to hold my breath and get out, but I accidentally took a breath and realized that it was air I was breathing and that it was a dream. Then I started swimming and breathing underwater in this tropical ocean and it was amazing.

My first lucid was very significant in my life though very short, so I remember it quite well. I was somewhere around 3 years old...

After dreaming about nothing in particular, whatever a 3 year old dreams about, this dream popped up out of nowhere. I was in some kind of place that seemed really light, there was lots of metal and steam shooting out of pipes. It's VERY hard to describe so I'll just get on with the dream. I was walking around and I came to this broken old brown shelving unit and it wasn't until I saw a whole bunch of little baby dinosaurs (Parasaurolophus) that I realized that [B]I[B] was a dinosaur too, and those were my brothers and sisters. All of the sudden a huge T-rex came up to us, and all the little dinos ran to hide, but I couldn't move and the T-rex picked me up and was just about to eat me, when it began to tickle me! (???)
It was at that moment that I became aware that this was a dream, and I could stop it. So after a few moments of telling the T-rex to stop tickling me and glaring as best I could in my 3 year-old way, I woke myself up because I didn't know about controlling dreams at the time. (I later taught myself to control them, etc.) What was strange was that when I woke up my side still tickled.

my first lucid dream. i had been dreaming for a lng time already and loads of stuff had hapened in the dream already, but then i was in my room. i was in my room, but i cant remember what i was doing. i felt my teeth, and realized that my gums were gone. i looked into a mirror above my bed (i dont have a mirror above my bed) and saw that i had no gums, and my teeth were coming straight out of my jaw. i was freaking out, then i did a reality check to see if i was dreaming. i held my nose and i could breath, and i looked at my hands and they were all blurry and stuff. i made a fireball or something then decided to try flying. i couldnt just lift off the ground, so i imagined that when i pulled up my sleeve there would be a watch with a switch on it that made me fly. so i pulled up my sleeve and there it was, and i suddenly lifted off the ground. i flew out of my bedroom, and went downstairs, where there was a bunch of people i knew, but werent my friends. i landed on the table, and one of the people starts giving out to me that i was on the table, so i forgot that it was a dream and started apologising and getting down. i held my nose, and thought that i wasnt doing it right because i could still breathe alittle, and decide that i was awake. after that the dream continued but i wasnt lucid and cant remember what happened

I had my first lucid dream last night! yay! I was outside on some deserted gravel road and there was a car with it's headlights on just sitting in the road. There were some kids there and they would run up to the car and jump off of it and start flying. I tried it, and when I got really high, I started to get scared and began to fall. I was floating down to the ground and couldn't get myself to float back up again, so i hit the ground running and jumped again and started flying. I got back to my house. It was dark except for the kitchen and the laundry room. For some reason, whenever i went towards the darkness, I felt more like I was becoming less aware, and the closer I got to the light, the easier it was to control my body. So I went into the laundry room (past 2 sliding doors) and decided that there was someone I wanted to find. So I tried dream spinning and told myself that when I stopped, I would be wherever that person was. When I stopped I was still in the laundry room, but things had changed. There was a mirror. I looked in it, and I had braces on, (which I had gotten off a year ago) and I was wearing a crazy purpleish/pinkish outfit that was all sparkly and poofy and really weird. (i've always wondered what I wear in my dreams) so being in the laundry room, there was a pile of clothes. I changed into jeans and a T-shirt and walked to the door, but it was now closed. I didn't remember closing it, but maybe I did. Then I went to the other door and that was closed too. I was about to open it when something made me fall. I was laying on the ground, but when I opened my eyes, I was laying in my bed awake. It was really cool, It was my first official lucid dream. I had had a couple before but they only lasted a minute or something. Even though the others were really short, I seemed to have more control. oh well, practice makes perfect!

Had my first two nighs ago W00T!


After a fairly long meditation and self-paralysis session that night, I had a dream about being stuck on a platform in the middle of a lake. It was sort of like a video game, because my goal was to get off the platform (to land, I suppose). Every time I failed, I would get a "game over" and have to start again. Suddenly, things seemed like a game show and I heard an announcer saying:

announcer: "Are you ready to play.....ARE YOU LUCID??!?!?!" (cheers and applause).
"Our first question...are you in bed right now?"

Me: Yes.

Announcer: But you're also dreaming. What does that mean?!?!

Me: ..............I'm LUCID DREAMING?!?!?!? WOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

As soon as I "realized" it, I leapt into the air, spread my arms, and began flying stright into the air.



...I awoke about 3 seconds later.

I've had other lucid dreams before, but this was my first one that lasted longer than 1 minute (but I guess 1 minute is long enough to make friends with a talking cat!)

I think that I've posted this somewhere already, but I just had my first lucid a couple nights ago!! :banana: :D So it started I was on a deserted gravel road in the middle of the night. and there were pine trees on both sides all along the road, so I didn't really know where I was. Then a yellow hummer drives up and just stops in the middle of the road and a bunch of people come out and leave the hummer's headlights on. The kids started running up to the hummer, and they would jump up onto it, and then off the roof and start flying. I asked one of the DC's what was going on and they said "we're learning to fly. It's reall hard, so we need to get a jump off of something." Then I said "that's really weird... if I were dreaming I would probably try to fly" that's when I realized I was dreaming. So I decided to get a jump off of the car, and as i was flying I couldn't really control myself. It was hard, because I couldn't stay up or turn or anything. it was like i was just floating back down. When I finally got high enough to coast a bit, I saw my house and tried to stay up long enough to fly/glide to my house. The whole point of me trying to lucid dream in the first place was to find someone, and in the dream I thought "oh my gosh! i can't believe I've spent this whole lucid dream and I haven't tried to find him yet!" So I tried the dream spinning technique to see if I could "teleport" to where I thought he would be. When I stopped spinning nothing had happened, I was still in the same room but some things were different. The doors were closed and I was standing in front of a mirror. I've always wondered what I wear when I'm dreaming for some reason, and I guess that just made my subconcious think up some insane outfit, cause it was like I was wearing a combination of a hippy/50's outfit all purple and poofy and sparkly, and I had braces on (which have been off for a long time) It was really weird, but I was in the laundry room for some reason and there was a pile of clothes. I changed into jeans and a T shirt and then decided to go into another room to see what was going on, i didn't want to waste my whole lucid dream in the laundry room, so I went to open the door and I can't remember what exactly happened, but something came at me as soon as I opened the door and I closed my eyes and it knocked me over. So I was laying on the floor with my eyes closed, and when I opened them i was laying in my bed awake.

hehe I did post this already! I thought it was in another thread! hehe :o :eek: oops

My first lucid dream was: It was after a concert thing at my school (it was dark out) and I saw something that made me realize I was dreaming (i know it involved my cat somehow). I decided to see what I could do, so I flew from my house all the way to my school. Then I got excited and lost control

I tried a WILD but couldn’t do it so I got up to go to the bathroom. As I re-entered my room, something didn’t look right, so I Rc’d. I was dreaming! I got so excited that I woke up. Or so I thought. I got up and something still wasn’t right so I RC’d again. Still dreaming. This time I stayed calm. My lucidity level was very low. It was hard to move and I couldn’t make anything appear. I went out to the kitchen and told my mom that I was dreaming. Then my Dad and Sister came out there and I showed my dad that I could breath through my plugged nose. I then amused myself by telling them all to “say something funny” which was very rewarding because they responded Bruce Almighty style with hilarious babbling. My lucidity was still low, so I spun around while rubbing my hands together at the same time. Problem solved. Everything became a bit clearer and I was no longer restricted in movement or thought. Then I turned around and levitated my sister! It was incredible! I spent the rest of the 10 or 15 (or however long it was, can’t remember) minutes of the dream levitating things and random people to show off. I even threw my sister into the pool with my mind! (my sister and I don’t get along very well.) Anyway, it was the most amazing experience of my life and I can’t wait for my next LD! I never did manage to make anything appear though. I guess that’s my next task.

Hi everyone. My first lucid dream (I still dont know if it really was lucid) was : I was sitting in the library and saw my hand (i did reality checks with my hand) I imiedetly "said": I'M DREAMING! camera goes up and the dream goes on by itself. A second later I wake up. It was a dream where I said I'm dreaming rather the the lucid dream I think :P

zobe: sorry if its the spam, but I want to know one thing. when you lucid dream and wake up , does it feel like a normal dream- all hard to remeber and somehow 'not real', or does it feel like, you've just levitated your sister a minute ago - like something youve done just a sec ago and it feels like a normal thing. Easy to remeber. Did you feel the ground under your feet, happines when you did all the stuff, and did you have all your sense? I'm really interested because I never had a normal LD and want to know what it feels like ;)
