My first LD

**Bedlam Subsistence** · 04-01-2004 06:57 PM

This happened back in 1999, I was living on my own for the first time with the girl I was dating at the time. I physically passed out from exhaustion and the last time I remember looking at the clock it was 10am.

I wake up in my bed next to my girlfriend and realize how thirsty I am. I look at the clock and notice that it displays 10:30am yet I feel like I've been asleep for hours. I get up and leave the bedroom and walk down the hallway to my livingroom. The clock in there says 10:30am as well. I head to the fridge and grab an unopened gatorade out of the fridge, open it and take a few drinks of it.

I wake up in my bed next to my girlfriend and realize how thirsty I am. I look at the clock and notice that it displays 10:32am and am confused because I could have sworn I'd just woken up 2 minutes before and gotten something to drink. I notice how thirsty I am so I get up and head out of the bedroom and down the hallway in to my livingroom. The lock in there says it is 10:32am as well. I head to the fridge and grab a gatorade out of the fridge. It has been opened and I'm wondering why but take a few drinks of it.

I wake up in my bed next to my girlfriend and there is a baseball mitt and a baseball bat on my stomach. I wonder what these are doing here because my baseball gear was still at my parent's place. I look at the clock and it is 10:34am and with a sense of deja vous that I shrug off realize how thirsty I am. I toss the bat and mitt on the floor and head out and down the hall to the livingroom. The clock in there says 10:34am as well. I head to the fridge and grab a half full gatorade out of the fridge. I am irritated that someone drank some of my gatorade but am thirsty enough to kill the rest of it so don't really care.

I wake up in my bedroom and sit there for a minute. I know something is going on. I look at the clock and it says 10:36am. I jump out of bed confused and look around the room but everything is in its place. My girlfriend is looking so adorable and peaceful in her sleep and I don't want to disturb her. I figure if I'm not going to get any sleep I'll just go down to the livingroom and watch some TV. I head out in to the hallway and realize it is kind of chilly so decide to head down to the basement and grab some wood to make a fire in our fireplace.

I then realize we don't have a basement or a fireplace but looking to my left, sure enough, there is a set of stairs leading down. So I walk down them and when I get to the bottom of the steps I'm in a cellar style room. My friend Megan is standing in the middle of the room dancing which strikes me as odd because Megan had gone home hours ago. I shrug it off and head back up the stairs.

When I reach the top of the stairs I notice a globe on the hallway table, neither of which were there when I'd walked down the stairs to the cellar we don't have. I pick the glove up to look at it and it has a picture of my face on it, as I start to turn it over to examine it further it morphs in to something similar to a rubix-cube-like puzzle and it is all out of whack. I get tangled up in it trying to put it back together and realize that it is a chaotic mess that I don't have the energy to fix at the moment.

I walk in to the livingroom and sit down in a chair. I am slightly out of breath and my head is spinning with confusion. I look at the clock to see what time it is and it is 10:40am. I look back at the clock noticing that something is out of place but can't put my finger on what it is. Then I realize that the clock has a red body to it whereas the one we own is black.

Suddenly I decide to look down at my hands and upon seeing them I start to laugh and come to the conclusion that I am dreaming.

The next thing I know I am at a grocery store I used to work at. The lights are very dim and it is hard to see in there. As my eyes adjust to the light I decide to take a walk up an aisle. There are people floating all over the place but not people I've ever met before. As I approach the rear of the store it turns in to a second hand store with couches and stuff, only in the back of the store though. I decide that since I am dreaming I can probably control what is going on to a degree so decide to try to float as well. I jump up and feel weightless and manage to jump about ten feet down the back section of the store but can't remain in flight. I land and look around to see what else is going on, feeling amused but not wanting to do anything that would end the dream.

I spot a very attractive blonde haired woman standing by a rack of miscellaneous objects and decide to go strike up a conversation with her. As I approach her she turns to me and smiles, her eyes twinkling with amusement and she holds up a yellow ashtray. The ashtray seems to melt in her hands and turn in to a yellow candle. On the center of the candle is a blue eye with four long blue lashes extending from left to right, almost egyptian looking. She grins at me and says, "I am the key," and disappears.

I wake up in my bed and look at the clock. It is 10:50am. I know that I was dreaming but can't tell if I still am. So I stand up and go to my fridge. On the way I look at the livingroom clock and it says 11:05 which makes sense because our clock in the livingroom is set fifteen minutes fast. The gatorade is in there, unopened.

At this point I really was awake and decided to sit down and try to figure out what had just happened. That was my first lucid dream.

Wow. So did you have that LD without any training or pre-hype, so to say?

That's really funny, that you got up out of bed 3 times in 2 minute intervals. Really...amazing.

Yah I'd never even heard of lucid dreaming so the experience kind of toyed with me afterward. I figured people would say I was crazy if I told them about it. That or lying hehe.
