Thread: First Lucid since DV ...please read :)

Hi, feel silly taking up a whole thread just for my first attempted lucid but here goes, sorry its so long but please read-

It was a very long, and vivid series of dreams, like most of my dreams it was a strung together series of recurring dreams that I've had in the past- but its important to note that within my dream, I went to sleep twice before I became lucid. The first time, I could chock upto a false awakening maybe, I thought I was awake but the clarity was REALLY low as if I was in a dark room, I could hear a blizzard roaring outside and I assumed "ahhh, no school today" and I fell back to sleep perfectly calm to rest without worries of homework and college... then I dreamed from within my dream

the clarity, I would place at about 80% compartive to reality, I could see color that was distorted (but vibrant, a teacher/writer had very oarnge hair), and I could feel to an extent. Without going too far in depth to my pre lucid events (which took up 3 pages of notebook paper ) I ended up, as a principal of the highschool I was dreaming of (I'm no longer in highschool), sitting in a chair looking over some sort of electronic organizer. I kept getting a message to search my 'news tab' for 4 teenagers getting killed in a car accident, I then searched, butdidn't find anything-then another message popped up and said, "search for it tomorrow, it will be there." (prophetic?, but this could easily be biased) I shut down my organizer, and leaned back in my big office chair (my fathers office chair, he was a principal) and I began to WILD within my dream, (which took about 2 seconds), it was the timespan of a blink to change perspectives.

I dreamt of a sandy peaceful pacific ocean beach, where the weather was warm, when I opened my eyes I was there, it was at this point that I realised I was about to become lucid, but I needed to do something first, there were two DC's there and I was one of them! The principal, and another man. They were both middle aged and in wierd beach attire- Office clothes, that were opened at the neck without tie, and the pants that were rolled up to the knees without shoes or socks.

I was the principal, but I kept switching perspectives to the principal and the other DC. It was wierd. I was the other guy, and I was walking towards a parked camper right along side the water, dug into the sand. The door was open and a sunlight overhead striped sunblocker was blocking the light over a chair and a cooler filled with drinks, the chair and cooler were dug pleasantly in the sand.

I (as the other guy) grabbed a bottle of champagne and threw it to myself 30 feet away (the principal, I know its wierd, it was more like I was the principal and I was just following the other DC's perspective) when I caught it I was looking at the face of myself as the principal (which was not my face by the way, but I knew it was me) and as soon as I caught the bottle of champagne I said, "I must be dreaming."

This is when I first became lucid, my first INSTANTANIOUS thought afterwards was, "remain calm". But I didn't need to, I didn't get excited, didn't lose clarity. I just realised I was lucid, and that was it. I was cool as a cucumber. I walked a few steps to test out my dream feet, and felt warm pleasant sand. There was a million things I wanted to do, wanted to experience. I wanted to see my dog again (who just died), I wanted to relive memories of things gone horribly wrong, I wanted make love to a beautiful girl. But I didn't, I just said, "forget that, I'm going to fly."

I knew I was going to do it, I jumped into the air and was about 70 feet off the ground, but I guess I didn't earn my wings yet and what was originally supposed to be a flight turned into a mega jump +fall. When I hit the ground I woke up, not excited, but calm.
wow...

It was a DILD, I gave up WILDing for a full night of rest...

I've been trying to visualize this beach since I began WILDing, and now that I've gone there, do you think its a good idea to go there every time I attempt lucidity, as a common starting point. I feel if I keep trying to get to this place it will be easier and become more natural.

thanks for reading, I feel like I can do this again! Thanks a lot dream views, and anyone who got through my run on sentences and poor structure
