A first time LD as a child

I thought I would share my earliest experiences of lucid dreams...

What I find odd about my experiences with LD's is that they were all when I was younger. Usually, I would be chased, or scared to the point that I realized it was a dream, and I tried shutting my eyes and opening them again, or screaming to wake myself up. At this point I didn't even know it was possible to control your dreams, and at this point in my life wished I could have gone back and remembered those vicious criminals who messed with me as a child :shakehead2:

My first, and only LD experience was over 10 years ago when I was a child. I was scared to go to sleep for some reason I don't recall, and my grandmother reassured me that it was ok, and even if I do have a bad dream, I am able to control them if I really want to! I somewhat believed her, and went to sleep thinking about this. I then had a dream that night where I was beign chased around a corner by some man, and he was not too far behind. I started climbing a very high metal fence, and on the other side was a classroom with no walls, just the board and desks with the teacher talking. I don't know if it was this that made me realize I was dreaming, but it was something that kicked in halfway up the fence. Once I realized this, I looked back at the man who was chasing me, still being on the ground, and I jumped down. He immediately started running the way we just came, and I folowed him until I had him cornered somewhere. He was on the ground or kneeled, and I was wailing on this guy like no other. If I got tired, I made the picture frames on the walls attack him, or whatever else was in the room. After a vigorous beating of this guy, I awoke and still have never forgotten that dream :). I only recently found this site, and am pretty happy with all the useful tips given and what not :)

Wish me luck on another round of LD's coming my way

EDIT: Another thing I wonder, is since I had many of these when I was younger, should it be a little easier to be able to have an LD now when I try? I've been keeping track of my dreams for about 3 wks now, and luckily I can remember many dreams a night(First night I remembered 7 in fact, and the number usually was just a little lower then that on the number of dreams I could recall other nights), so hopefully I am on the right track!

Sorry couldn't resist :D .

I had similar dreams when I was a child. All my lucid dreams were when I was a child as well. As if you could do it then, then you could do it now just as easy, well for it's not like that sadly. My recall has improved but as for breaking my five year ten month dry spell into lucidity, well... I'm working on that. I guess it varies from person to person.

Good luck on regaining lucidity. :content:
