After 2 weeks here and keeping a journal and trying various techniques to no prevail, I woke up this morning at about 6:45 and figured I might as well try a WBTB. However, I was too lazy so I started one but just stopped b/c I was too tired.

When I fell asleep, I was with 2 friends of mine. One of those friends thinks what I'm doing is very stupid and that it is sad that I keep a dream journal. Of course I expect this from his personality but we're still friends.

So ANYWAY, I'm at an apartment complex with my 2 friends and my friend who I was talking about in the last paragraph (Will), was talking to my other friend (Rohan) about how he thinks it is so stupid that I'm into lucid dreaming and keeping a dream journal. I hear this and I'm say to myself, "WAIT A MINUTE!!! This could be a dream!" I do a reality check and I do this out loud b/c I'm excited of the probable outcome of it. I look at a bunch of buildings by me with clocks on them and turn my head away and then back and they are different times.

At this point I actually say out loud "HOLY SHIT! MY FIRST LUCID DREAM!" and I look at Will when I say this and I notice the dream to slowly fade away, so I do the spinning technique and it works! I said to Will that I'm going to ask him on Monday if he remembers anything about this on Monday in school (I knew the chances were that he wouldn't). I ran into the street and tried to fly because I've been waiting to try it forever. I fail but when I fall back down after jumping, time slows down and I don't know why it happened but it was one of those "NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo!!!!!!!!!........" types of moments. When I saw this after I hit the ground, I decided to try and speed up time and I did it. When I got back up and put time back to normal, I remembered the flying FAQ on this site and it said to simply imagine yourself hovering. I closed my eyes and did this. I could feel my feet tremble a little but in about 10 seconds, I found myself with my eyes still closed but awake.

So basically, my trigger for the lucid dream was my friend saying LDing is stupid. LOL!

Sorry if it was a bit lengthy but I'm sort of happy so I just typed as much as I could.
