Thread: My first real lucid

I have had lucid dreams in the past but none as vivid and controlled as this one.

I started out in a normal dream where someone was trying to steal something from my back pack while I was inline some where, I turned and told this person off and then insulted his family which made him charge at me I ducked under him and ran through a door way which led me into a dark room with a huge pool. I jumped into the pool and and found it full of tubes that connect to the pool cleaner. They were trying to wrap around me, this is when I realized I was dreaming. I swam to the edge of the pool and jumped out. Looking around I found I was in a huge room with some stadium like lights across the center of the ceiling, I tried turning them on one at a time using my mind. I found this very difficult they would slowly turn on only to fade back off. Finally when I had some of the lights on, I was thinking what I should do I could think of nothing but the tubes in the pool. So I tried raising them out of the water (this too took a lot of effort) once I had a lot of the tubing out of the water I tried to make shapes I made a circle, a square and then a triangle. At this point I started to lose control and woke up.

All in all it was a good dream. I am some what new to lucid dreaming about two months my lucid dreams in the past have been foggy and much harder to control. I have read alot of people talk about spinning and suggesting things to make conrtolling your dreams easier. Such as saying things like when I walk throught this door I will find a wand or the lights will be on. Only none of this comes to me when I'm lucid. If anyone has tips or tricks about this please let me know. I cant wait to try again!
