Thread: Your First Lucid Dream

Hi dreamers!

It was DILD, I was dreaming about sea and dead fish, it was movie-like dream. The music I heard was strange. "Where it plays from?" I said to myself. "There are no speakers or any equivalent source". Suddenly I realized that I was dreaming. I could not believe it. "Is this really dream?", "Yes it is..." I can remember where I am physically sleeping. I looked around and tried to fly. It almost did not work. I woke up then, after 15 secs of lucidity...

This all happened at the night on 9/3/2006.

weii, I had my first lucid dream a few weaks ago and it was amazing, but short, because i got over excited

I was i Japan all alone and I was at the cinema paying for a ticket. I remember that the ticket cost like 10 bucks but i only had 9. The cute japanese girl accepted it and i went in realizing that Hurley from LOST joined my company and we started speaking with each other.

While in the cinema I my class joined me somehow and i got astonished. LOST was playing on the silver screen and The Grudge was in it too. Then it was like break in the movie or something and Hurley was speaking to the crowd and suddenly i realized i was dreaming. SO COOL i thought and i couldn't stop myself from trying to fly away. I floated up in the air, through the roof of the cinema and up in the night. And with great speed i floated up in space but somwhere between i got over excited and awoke

I will try and give a brief description, but the dream seemed to just go on and on. I started out running from a race of people that were somehow different. There were lots of "us-the good guys" and "them-the bad guys" but you couldn't really tell by looking at them whether they were good or bad-you just seemed to know. Anyway, one of the bad guys was trying to make friends with my daughter until someone told me that he was a perv and that I shouldn't let him get close to her. I became so mad in my dream that the intensity of my emotions made me realize I was dreaming. I started hitting this guy and throwing things at him with my mind and I suddenly realized if I didn't stop I would kill him. I then tried to rationalize whether or not it would be okay to kill him since it was just a dream. Then it hit me-what am I wasting my time on this for-I want to fly! I tried my best to get off the ground but with little success. It was like I was walking on the moon. I climbed to the top of a building and was sitting on the window about to jump, but I was afraid if I wasn't successful at flying that I would wake up when I hit the ground. (I knew I wouldn't be hurt-but I didn't want to wake up yet.)

The next thing I did was to go to the top of a mountain slope to try and fly down. But there were all these trees and boulders in my way. I put my hands up in the air and started to throw them down the side of the mountain when suddenly, the one I was standing on started sliding too. I kind of floated through the air and unfortunately into consciousnes as well. But it was so exciting that I couldn't go back to sleep for hours!

Anyway, sorry to go on so long but I just had to share my first LD experience.

I was at this place, with my dad, and I was trying to find a book. I had picked it up and read the first page, and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever read, but then someone took it. I was running around all over the place trying to find it, but when I found it again, it was blank. Somehow, I realized I was dreaming then, and ran outside, and jumped in the air, and flew to the roof of another building. On the roof of this building was a hot tub, and in it was this boy who I hadn't seen for years, but I still liked (and I had never told him I liked him either. So sad.) I got in the hot tub with him and kissed him, but then I woke up, I think because I was so excited.

I was about 12 or 13 when I had that dream, and it is the first lucid dream I ever had that I remember.

My first lucid dream was on the first day after I found this site. I was sitting on the couch in my living room, and my dog, Zeus, came in, but had my brother's head; I thought, "Holy crap! I'm dreaming!" Then, I got up, threw a large wooden chair through the wall, and started punching holes in it. That's all I remember.

When I was about 9 I had my first lucid dream (that I remember.) I didn't know about lucid dreams until a couple days ago when I found this site. But when I was about 9 when I had the dream I had still wondered why I never realized I was dreaming when I was.

All I remember is a tiny part of the dream, right when I realized I was dreaming. I was standing behind a car, which was stopped by the side of a big highway. It was dark. I saw myself there, with 2 policemen behind the car too I think. The trunk was open. Then I suddenly said (or saw myself say) something like "I'm dreaming.." But that's all I remember...

I woke up about 4 o clock (after 5-6 hours of sleep) and remembered nothing from my dream except one part, so I wrote it down, and then I tried to MILD my way into a Lucid Dream, but I just couldn't fall asleep, by the time I figured this, I looked at my clock and it said 4:20, so I thought to myself, may as well try to do a WILD at least, no point in just sitting here awake. So I did the breathe in, breathe out, one.. technique, and nothing worked so i was like whatever I'll just go back to sleep. As I was falling asleep I kept doing RC's (just the nose one), and eventually I began breathing with my nose closed, I was astounded and got a huge adrenaline rush, I look at my digital clock and I see nothnig but a red dot, so I got pretty happy...I then close my eyes and shake my head and look and all my friends are there and so on. But my legs seemed extremely heavy...too heavy for me to move which made a little disapointed. Then I soonly woke up and got really excited again, and had a hard time sleeping yet again!

I eventually fell asleep, and in my dream randomly did a RC, and I realized I had a 2nd chance! So i ran outside and yelled"LUCIDITY NOW!".......LUCIDITY NOW!" To brighten up the world around me, but it still stayed dark out..So I thought oh well, so then I just jumped and began flying, but it was waaay too dark to see anything so I just stopped and decided to get on with my dream...which I did other things which I can't seem to remember ... ...But I remember an inability to manifest and change the surroundings.




The context may be wrong from it is a post from here

I know I've had two LDs in my life, but I can only remember the first one... Neither of them happened because I wanted to. For some reason I found out I was dreaming.

I think I was 6 years old. I was playing with a ball, so I don't know how but I realized I was dreaming then I sat on the ball and started floating, watching my house from the sky...

The most amazing experience I've ever had in my life.

Elevator Flying</span>
First Lucid Dream

I was in a building and I got out an elevator. You could go out and in the elevator on two sides. When the elevator was up I wanted to get out, but it didn’t work. It already went down again before I could go out. When I was down I went up again, but then I saw my rector. He didn’t see me; at least that’s what I thought. I got a sort of adrenaline kick.

When I was up with the elevator again and I wanted to get up, the elevator went down again before I could get out. I decide to take the stairs. I walk to the stairs and fly over it. I was just on time, so the rector didn’t see me. I fly further over the stairs and realise I’m flying. Then I must be dreaming, because normally you can’t fly&#33; I get a sort of kick, because this is my first Lucid Dream. I remember I had this dream before, but at that time I wasn’t lucid. I was also trying to be away from someone and the elevator acted weird at that time too.

I fly further to see how it is to fly. It was the first time from what I remember that I flew. It feels a bit weird. I’m flying away from the building, outside.

<span style="color:royalblue">Eventually I wake up and I was really happy. This was my first Lucid Dream and the first time I flew in a dream =D (At time of writing this it is - as you can see if you look at the date - already 1,5 year ago.)

I&#39;ve had 2 Lucid Dreams very early on, and I can&#39;t remember what dream came first. I think I was about 5 or 6 years old at the time.

I once had a dream about some mean disney characters chasing me, so I hid under the table thinking "this must be a dream, wake up&#33;" and then I did wake up.

I also used to have these dreams about stick men. I was a stick girl living in a stick world, and everything was made of sticks. And I had this dream almost every night. It was always the same thing happening in the dream. I walked towards my house, and I met a stick boy and I followed him into a room to the left, and then I woke up.
So I thought one night before I went to bed that when I usually followed that boy into the room I&#39;d try to walk the opposite direction instead. And in my dream that night I turned to the right and walked away from the stickboy, instead of after him.

But my whole dream started shaking really hard, and I woke up with a huge pain in my jaw. It was kind of weird. And no one ever believed me.

To bad I didn&#39;t do much. Ok here is what happened.

I was at our school and for some reason grandpa was fighting with this woman and her husband because they were making zombie guys with this string stuff. So he broke it by kicking it over, then I went on Diablo on the school computers and i just was talking to people and these zombies keep killing me. and on the screen it say&#39;s you been killed, i keep respawning were i died for some reason. Then this one zombie comes over and says. "DO A RC NOW&#33;" on the screen, so I think wtf? and so I do it and, WHOA&#33; I can breath through my nose&#33; awesome&#33; (I felt my heart racing because i was excited) the images start going black so i try to calm down, and it eventually comes back then i go over to my friends and the tables, I say "look at this&#33;" and i do it. they just sit there not talking... I say "what should i do now&#33;?" still no answer.
"common guys please&#33;" nothing.. then I wake up

My first lucid dream happened maybe five or six years ago. Normally, the part of my brain that does the rationalizing goes to pretty ridiculously extreme lengths to keep me from realizing I&#39;m dreaming, but in this case it must have been busy with something else or some such. In any case, I found myself riding a school bus, and out of nowhere the thought pops into my head, "I think I might be dreaming (despite no real dreamsigns or anything of the sort). If I was dreaming, I could fly through this window and out into the sky." Which, because I was dreaming, I proceeded to do. The problem was that this only resulted in me being partially lucid for a total of about half a second, and then I got distracted by flying and sort of faded out from there. So many missed possibilities...

My first lucid dream came to me many years ago... Must be going on 4 or 5 now, I really can&#39;t remember at all.

I don&#39;t remember much of the dream, but I was walking through my father&#39;s house -- kind of a throwback to when my parents were separated -- and i was trying to avoid my parents who were arguing. I suddenly found myself walking up a staircase into the attic, which turned out to be the room I was just standing in a minute ago, as if I had two living rooms, one on top of the other. I then noticed my mother on one side of the room, ironing or folding clothes or something, looking at me. It was then that I noticed all the walls were a different shade of pink, and it suddenly struck me that I was probably dreaming. So what did I do? I tried to fly, of course, in the little apartment room, but only succeeded in jumping up and floating gently to the ground. This excited and frustrated me to the point of me waking after a minute or two of being lucid.

Weird? Yes, but it was amazing&#33; I tried many times afterwards to recreate this experience, but with no luck. Eventually, I forgot about it. More recently though, I had several LDs in a row, where I&#39;ve been trying to teach myself how to fly. One dream simply consisted of me beginning the dream lucid and flying towards a building which I was then unconsciously repelled from, one was me inside a familiar convenience store after-hours, floating around above all the shelves, and the third was me jumping off some floating islands for some reason. These all happened within the span of a few weeks, if I remember correctly.

It started as a normal dream, with my friend Alex and I fighting off some aliens. I kept seeing these things which I can only describe as Pearlite walls. Amorphous glowing swirlying surfaces. I asked my friend and he said that if I walked through one I would become lucid. I did and it was like walking into a cold waterfall. Then I became lucid.
I&#39;ve been trying to become lucid for awhile, so I was really excited, but scared as well. I ended up waking myself up. THat same night I had another LD, but it only lasted a few (dream) seconds longer.

At least it&#39;s progress. Hopefully I can recreate situation tonight. Any suggestions for dealing with the fear/ clarity would be appreciated.

My first lucid dream occured when I was 4 or 5 I believe. I had had a scary dream that night so I went into my dads room and slept in his bed. I remember sitting on my old plastic tricycle on my deck and somehow knew I was dreaming. I wanted to swear since I obviously wasn&#39;t allowed to swear in real life, but I remembered I was sleeping in my dads bed and I thought I might sleep talk. So as quietly as I could I whispered a few swear words, and that&#39;s all I can remember.

My first LD must have happened when I was about seven. I had been in jail and was being chased through corridors by some sort of killer. I realized I was dreaming, got into a fetal position, and yelled at myself to wake up. When I awoke in my bed, I was still yelling at myself. SInce then, I haven&#39;t had any real nightmares.

I remember that I was in a weird pinkish room, like a kitchen, and I was eating some kind of frosted wafer. O.O
I looked around the room and realized that I didn&#39;t know anybody and then became lucid. I was really excited and began to point at people and shout "You&#39;re a dream character&#33; Haha&#33; I&#39;m real&#33; You&#39;re my dream&#33;" to everyone and they just ignored me. I saw Bender from Futurama and I made the rock on sign with my hand and started just spazing out. Getting all hyper I ran outside into the dark and tried running. It was incredibly hard. It felt like I was wading through water. I think I lost lucidity then. >.> Still a long dream though.


And if you want to get technical, my first lucid dream was when I did my reality check (Breathing through nose) and I could breath. But I was like- Drat&#33; I must be doing it wrong. I&#39;m awake. *goes to talk to purple kitty*

I have been practicing lucid dreaming for almost five years. My first lucid dream happened years ago, though, around age 8. It was a recurring dream I had been having, a very involved recurring dream that played itself out like a television show alternating between scenes and characters. It was a dream I had on a fairly regular basis, once every two or three weeks. I had the dream so often it got to the point where I could wake up , go to the bathroom, fall back asleep and continue with the dream as if I had pushed play. It wasn&#39;t a frightening dream, and it didn&#39;t seem to carry a major life lesson in it. Goofy burgulars, and leprachans. I don&#39;t know, lol, but I finally became so comfortable with the dream that I would become lucid while having it. I never tried to change anything in the dream. In my youth and inexperience, I wasn&#39;t aware of what lucid dreaming was nor the fact that I might be able to exercise some kind of control over the dream. I wasn&#39;t even a character in it. I would simply lucidly watch the dream just as I would watch a movie.

My first lucid dream was dumb, I was just walking down a road, I got scared, and woke up.

Had my first lucid dream this morning. Tried WBTB then MILD and it worked&#33; It wasn&#39;t very interesting but I&#39;m pleased with myself because I&#39;ve passed the first milestone after a bit more than a month.

I guess my first were when I was very young although I didn&#39;t know what I was really doing. Later when I was older I guess my first lucid was: OH MY GOD IM NAKED AT SCHOOL&#33;&#33;&#33; Haha, that was fun I was in high school at the time and it jsut clicked: no, im sure im just dreaming. I didn&#39;t have anything super cool happen on this one. I just woke up remembering most of what happened. The dream was very vivid.

my first LD experience?...

The light was on and I was still in bed. I asked myself if I was dreaming. I hit myself on the arm and then slapped myself in the face. It didn&#39;t hurt. I smiled because I was so happy. I could barely move though... So I tried calling out "attain Lucidity&#33;"... which came out as me just saying it in a normal voice. Of course nothing happened... I then at least wanted something positive out of my first LD, so I wanted my first crush to give me a BJ. I closed my eyes and opened back up again... The action was there, but it was barely happening... and there was no person in front of me. I say to myself "this sucks". Then I lost lucidity...

My first LD that I can remember was when I was runnig through venice and i was in a restaraunt and proceeded to fly over the crowd, It lasted all of 5 seconds but soon faded.

My first lucid dream happened when I was a child. I don&#39;t remember how but I realized I was dreaming so I ripped a library book in half and then peed on everyone I saw. When I woke up, I wet my bed. I was 5 or 6 years old.

I&#39;m still working on getting my first lucid dream now that I&#39;m older.

Jan. 30th 2007
My mom and sister got home, ruining the attempt. I went downstairs and greeted them, then came back upstairs and turned on the TV. I laid down, and soon fell asleep. ( I don&#39;t really know how... I don&#39;t really remember that either).
Here&#39;s the dream.
It started at a movie theatre, and I had my blue blanket with me (I was sleeping under it, and no, it&#39;s not my "bankie"). I walked into the theatre with my dad and sister and realized that the rest of the theatre was empty and I was walking on a red carpet. I saw a sign, and It was for the premiere of shrek 3. some bells went off in my head, but nothing special. This dream faded, and I was at school during passing time. I walked into a room on the second floor, and my old english teacher was there. It was way off from her room. we talked about something I can&#39;t remember, then I exited the room on the bottom floor. >_> It was still passing time. Then it hit me. I already had school today, and I went home. I looked at the clocks but they were weird and I couldn&#39;t get an exact time. I was very suspicious. I pulled my finger to see if it would stretch. First try it didn&#39;t, but then the second time, it almost doubled in length.

I went lucid. I looked up at the ceiling and jumped up and flew all the way up to the balcony, then I flew down the hall (i think into a new building) and came down from a balcony into this very brown room, and saw some asian guy kinda looking at me, his eyes following me, but he never said anything. I may have hopped around and above him a bit, but I don&#39;t remember. Then I found myself back in my house (I don&#39;t know how) and went into the living room and remembered that I had read on Gnosticweb that TVs try to suck you in. I noticed a TV in the corner, so I floated over to it. I have no idea where the TV came from, and it was very small, only about the size of a small radio. When I approached it with my hand, it flared up electrically and the screen turned electric white. I saw a whole bunch of light patterns on the floor, and I felt a very strong tingle in my hand. The light show was excellent smile.gif. I then floated back onto the stairs and saw my mom and sister in the other room. like the asian man, their eyes seemed to be following me but they didn&#39;t notice me. I called out for my "divine mother" and after a few seconds, she appeared by my mom and sister. we had a short (and private tongue.gif) conversation, and she gave me some gold ring or plate with some raised text on it. one of the words I think was her name, which I&#39;m keeping to myself.

I tried to read what else was written, but everything started to go black and blurry. I tried to restore everything, but it didn&#39;t work and I woke up in my room with my physical heart pounding. as soon as I could I pulled out my dream journal and wrote as much as I could with "First Lucid Experience" underlined. The whole ordeal, according to memory, only took a few minutes, which may be my physical internal clock, because I was asleep for a very short amount of time.
