      LD @ grand canyon

      This one was my first and only lucid dream, and I had it about 2 months ago. It's the reason I got interested in the subject and eventually came here. (very nice place btw.) anways: I was with my parents and two or three dogs (i have a cat in real life, but no dogs) and we were on the edge of the grand canyon. There was a lot of stuff everywhere around us, boxes and the like. (it vaguely reminded me of a fleamarket) I looked at my parents and they didn't look quite right, with some of their features a little different than I remembered, so I tried to talk to them. They didn't respond or move so I went over to the edge of the canyon and looked down. when I looked back they were all gone and only the empty market remained. It occured to me that people don't just vanish, and I realized I must be dreaming. This is where It gets wierd: I knew it was a dream so I tried to control it a little bit. (this was before I knew any of the great tips on this site) eventually I managed to hover a few feet off the ground. Then I decided to fly out over the canyon and look down. as soon as I was a few yards (meters, for all the metric people) out I was overcome by a massive wave of nausia and a great fear of heights. (This was particularly troubling, because I have no such fear in real life, and I in fact enjoy looking down from high places.) Then I plumeted for about a mile straight down and couldn't regain control of the flight even though I still knew It was a dream. When I hit the ground I didn't wake up right away, but instead laid there in agony for a few seconds. when I did wake up, I was still safely in bed, not on the floor, but I had tremendous muscle pain for a few minutes. I welcome all analyzations, opinions, and ideas. thanks for reading my (rather long) description of my dream.
      I am doing a science fair project on lucidity and controling dreams, and appriciate any imput or advice that others have.

      What usually happens, especially to beginners of LDs, is that we lose lucidity fairly fast. That’s why I try to remember things like rubbing hands together to stay in the LD. Anyway the fear of height and falling probably took your lucidity away. That’s why you were feeling pain after the fear. If you kept you lucidity you could of realized the pain was not real or that falling was not a threat.
