Thread: First Lucid Dream!

Ha ok well let's say it was the first time I attained luciduty, because it pretty much ended there. But anyway.
Oh, I had no intention of becoming lucid and had in fact stopped in EWLD before it started talking about inducing LDs, because I wanted to first work on my memory. Though I had just yesterday decided that I would continue with it anyway.


It was nearly 6 in the morning and I desperately wanted to get some more sleep, as I had to wake up in an hour. Finally I fell asleep somehow in the bright morning light, and this is what I dreamt:

I was in an apartment very similar to the one in which I live. I was sitting at my computer, and for some reason a couple of chicks were there, one of whom was Corinne, my flatmate.
My computer was acting weird. First of all it had downloaded a bunch of updates, when in real life the Automatic Updates feature is disabled. Then the whole layout and look of my OS was different, i.e. smaller beige-colored dialog boxes with soft edges etc, as if I had a different OS (I use XP).
Also, I had AOE installed (I don't) and my TV software was randomly popping up a bunch of new channels/programs, like CNN (I'm in the UK, don't get it).
I asked Corinne if her computer had dl'ed a bunch of updates last night, but I don't remember her reply.
Then up popped a command prompt with some strange layout and stuff, and I couldn't figure out how to exit it as none of the normal commands worked.
Finally I exited, and decided to reboot to get the new updates to work properly.
I was thinking how weird it was, when I said aloud "I wonder if I'm dreaming". So I stood up and did a RC (nose). I was able to breathe!
Then it all made perfect sense, I was dreaming and that's why my computer was acting so strangely.
Once I realized it, I got so excited and shouted out "I'm dreaming!!", after which I felt everything disappearing and I woke up. Probably from the excitement or the fact that it was close to my normal waking time.

But it is great to know that I am potentially capable of it, and I guess it's time to crack the book open again.
