Thread: My first lucid dream!!!

So I set my alarm to wake up 5hours after I fell asleep to attempt a wild. When the alarm went off I turned it off and said forget it and went back to sleep. Then I had a long normal dream about airsoft and we had to camp in houses and sleep after the war which took place at night. And for some reason I just kept parachuting down back into the town that afternoon and kept looking at houses. And the only thing on me was my phone and in my dream I was always loosing it and then finding it. So I landed in my parachute and went to check out a house because it looked cool but the stairs to the door was very high and I had to climb. Then I though where is my phone!! So I looked up and it was sitting on the roof about 2 ft above me and I said how did it get there and then it hit me that I was dreaming!!! so I started walking down the driveway saying out loud over and over that I was having a lucid dream. I came to a ledge and decided to spin around and change my setting so I imagined a beach that I would go to and when I opened my eyes I saw the beach in a flash and the woke up. But here is the weird thing, I woke up in one of the houses in the town from my dream greeted by my mom who I haven't seen in about a month. She showed me around the house which was a weird looking house with only 3 rooms. And when she was done i started to tell her that I just woke up from a lucid dream she wanted me to remind her what exactly that was and when I started to explain it I woke up back to reality in my grandmas house on vacation 1,500 miles away from my mom. Has anyone else ever had a dream like this. And should the first thing you do in a lucid dream be trying to figure out where exactly you are in real life so that does not happen?
