First Lucid!!! Kinda surprised. :p

[tashows]

Hi forum! It is 3-4 weeks since i started looking up for dreams and i had my first lucid dream yesterday. I was both lucid and in control of the dream. This was really surprising for me. I thought that in my first lucid i would go crazy and wake up in seconds. But it was not like this at all. Attaining lucidity: First of all i managed to be calm quite easily. I also managed to stabilize the dream by looking around and trying to use my senses. When the dream was fading i closed my eyes and spinned. That felt really strange the first time but i got used to it (i did that 4-5 times, till i actually thought to just let go :p ). I might post the whole dream in the dream journal at some point, but for now i will describe some things that really really didn't expect to happen. Dream control: When i looked at my hands in the dream i was like "WOW" and start laughing. They were greatly distorted, i might even have more or less fingers than usual. After that i thought i should try and fly. The first thing that came to mind was someone who wrote on the forum that the easiest way is to just lift your feet and float... When i tried that i hit the ground on my knees. fail lol... Luckily it didn't hurt at all. So i went "what the hell?". I started jumping around and stretching my hands like superman and finally i made it. It was pretty wierd, i couldn't fly really well but i should get better. Dream faded, i used the spinning thing and now i was in a place with lots of people. I tried to spawn some friends, by calling their names, or expecting to see them behind the next door and stuff, but didn't make it. I saw a friend of mine though and he had square shaped eyes... creepy... I threw some funny lines, and laughed at some funny people (a girl with HUGE eyebrows). I should get laid too, but when i passed a door the dream faded and then i was somewhere in the woods. What amazed me the most, was when i tried to spawn cars. What i did is a picked up my cellphone and called the gtaIV cheat codes! No, i am kidding, but it would be really funny if that worked. Anyway what i did is i thought that when i turn around i should see a ferrari in particular position, i turned and there it was! It seemed really easy! And that brought some weird laugh like "i did it? hah... that's it? hahaha uhmm... hahaha". Then i thought "i think there should be a mustang shelby waiting for me when i turn around". I turn around and i see a car coming and stopping in front of me. Guess what. It really was a mustang shelby!! I starting looking around kinda nervously like "are you kidding me?". When i turned to see the car again, it was something like a mustang-shelby-go kart... It was really weird, but i gave it a try, and it was pretty nice. Last time the dream faded (4th or 5th time), i started spinning, but thought i should stop, wake up and write it all down, before it gets too much to remember. The waking up was really great. The dream faded to black and then i started to feel the bed and hear birds outside my room, opened my eyes, thought i might be paralyzed but i wasn't, got up and write everything down. What a nice experience! Sorry for the long post. Have a nice day!

Congratulations! I'm at 12 days, and getting CLOSE! Sounds like you had a hell of a time!

well come to the world of lucid dream! hope you have many other lucid dreams even more interesting than the first one. By the way, the spining method as you said seem to be powerful to prolong the dream. Next time I have a lucid dream, I will try.
