Hey everyone,

I’m not sure if this was a lucid dream. It was very vague and if I did become lucid, it was only momentarily and it seemed like I had no control over anything (even my dream body). Here’s what happened (I’ll put in blue where I suspect I was lucid):

In my dream, I’m at church and I’m talking to a priest before Mass begins. Suddenly, something catches fire on one of the walls and I try to put it out but I can’t. The fire alarm goes off and moments later the fire department arrives.

When the firemen enter the church, they turn out to be elderly people who are very frail and could hardly walk. My dream self seemed to find this very strange. So I asked the priest why these trained firemen could hardly walk and he said that they were new with the fire department.

I immediately thought something was not right about this…at all.

Then my dream self said, “hey, maybe I’m dreaming!” So I do a few reality checks (forgot which ones my dream self did) and my dream self came to conclusion I was dreaming. Suddenly, everything turned black and white and started morphing and the scene completely changed.

I noticed the firemen and the priest were gone and a little boy of about 8 had taken their place. My dream self noted a lot detail like his blue eyes but I really don’t remember much of it. During this whole time, I could somehow tell that my dream self was breathing very rapidly (as if it was excited).

Then my dream starts to fade and my dream self says “okay, spinning technique”. I never attempt one and I drift into a dark sleep.

Now, I’m sure you're all saying that that was definitely my first lucid dream but the reason I’m doubting it is because it felt no different than a normal dream except for the fact that my dream self was shouting things about lucid dreaming. Plus, I had absolutely no control over anything, not even my dream body. Or if I did have control, I don't remember it. So I don’t know.

What do you think?
