      So, after waking up at 7:30 am to record a dream I just had, I went back to bed thinking about having a lucid dream. I was pretty tired, so I must've drifted off concentrating on that thought. I'll copy and paste from my fresh DJ entry for you:

      Dream 10
      Lucid? FUCK YEAH!!!
      Date? December 10, 2006

      Where to begin?? Alright, well, the dream starts off in my bedroom at night. It's slightly rearranged from how I usually have it, but I didn't seem to notice. I've hooked up some wires to try and test one of my MOT welders. Somehow, the AC wires short out (I actually watch as the 2 wires from the outlet cross). The lights flicker, then slowly go out. Darkness is everywhere, it's extremely real. I find that, even with no light around, I can still partially see. I do a reality check to see if I can breathe with my nose squeezed shut. It works!! I can breathe strieght through it! I become lucid.

      Not wanting to waste any time, I go out into the hallway. It looks pretty normal. There was a single, dim light, just like IRL. I decided to try and summon something. This being a dream, I decided to summon a machinegun. I looked at the floor in front of me. I closed my eyes and visualized one being there. I concentrated REALLY hard on this thought. I opened my eyes, and to my suprise, something was there! However, it wasn't a machinegun. It was some kind of shotgun, standing up by itself. Hey, better then nothing! I picked it up. It was real. I became a bit excited at this point. I loved it.

      Somehow, there was a figure resembling a human dummy target just inside my parents bedroom. (Maybe my brain wants me to have some practise before playing with guns in there&#33. I cock the weapon and aim for him. I pull the trigger. The realism here is simply amazing. I felt the blowback, and saw the fragments of target's torso fly everywhere. There was sound, but it wasn't loud, more like a cap gun or something ^_^

      I go back into the hallway, and as I glance downstairs, I see a bunch of alien-like creatures. I decide once again to try and summon a machinegun. I throw the shotgun away, and look at the floor before me. I closed my eyes and made myself believe that the weapon I envisioned would be there. I looked, and there it was! Kinda. I picked it up and looked at it. It had all kinds of digital readouts and displays and lights. I didn't even know where the fucking trigger was! I remember very clearly thinking "Stupid mind" for creating something this complicated for me. This was huge, because I had complete control over myself. It was just as if I were sitting here right now. I had complete concious state of mind.

      After a solid minute (yeah, it took me THAT long), I figured where the trigger was, and where the bullets came out. I leaned around the corner and aimed for one of the creatures. I pulled the trigger and hoped for the best. A slur of fully automatic action took over for the next 3 seconds. I could feel the recoil of each shot. The sound resembled a very fast "PAK-PAK-PAK-PAK-PAK" noise. After those 3 seconds, I ran out of ammo. I could hear the shell casings bouncing off the polished wooden floor.

      I went downstairs. The body of the thingie I'd just shot was gone. This was a tad frightening, but I quickly told myself to calm down, that this was a dream and I now had complete control of everything that happens, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I went a bit further. Heh, I now found myself in what appeared to be the main forum of my school! I looked across the room, and more, smaller creatures were now coming at me. I still had my funky assult rifle with no ammo left. I didn't know where the magizene was or anything, so I tried to use it as a big stick. This didn't work out too well, the little aliens were to fucking small for me to accuratly hit. I threw the gun away and ran outside. Every door I went through was EXACTLY like they are IRL.

      It was incredable.

      I went through the 2 main doors. There was no temperature differance going from inside to outside. There was a beautiful sunset. There were a few dream characters walking around. I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to fly.

      I closed my eyes for a very brief second, and concentrated on it. I made myself believe that I was completely able to fly. I took a bit of a running start, and jumped into the air. I swear I almost crapped myself at this point. I was actually in the air, slowly accelerating upwards! It worked! I could feel and hear the wind rushing past me! It's the most incredable feeling ever, I can't say that enough. It was almost REAL. It was real. I flew higher, just above the height of the school. I saw everything exactly as it would be IRL. Cars, people, trees, roads, etc. There's simply too much detail here to discribe. As I was taking in all this, I started to doubt my flying abilites. I was losing the propulsion I'd gained, and now I slowly started falling to the ground! I closed my eyes and concentrated on being able to fly, but the falling sensation was SO REAL I wasn't able to regain my flight. I gently hit the ground with a thud. There was no pain whatsoever. One of my female dream characters laughed at me, then came and helped me up. She asked, "How did you do that?". I felt her hand as she extended it to me. It was real. Was it real? It seemed real. I could certainly get used to this place.

      Suddenly, without ANY warning, I found myself back in my bed. But. Something wasn't right. I don't know what it was, but it was very strange. I did a reality check. It failed! I was still dreaming! This was awesome! I tried to open my eyes, but it was difficult. I tried harder, and I woke myself up for real. I was a bit disapointed it was over. Everything was so finely detailed in that dream. I could feel everything around me. For once, I had complete control over my actions in my dreams. That sudden excited feeling when I realized I was dreaming after my first RC was incredable. There's nothing else like it.

      End *sigh* of Dream 10[/b]
      It was the best dream I'd ever had. This made every bit of effort pay off, since I began keeping a DJ little over a week ago. I was really suprised with the level of control I had over this dream. I read somewhere that flying takes a lot of effort (which is true) and that most people don't get it on their first try.

      If you don't know what a MOT is, don't worry, its not important Also, sorry about some of the language, I'm not usually that kind of person, but I'm extremely excited about this! I can't get over how real everything was. In total, I'd guess the dream lasted about 10 minutes (I took a lot of time looking around and stuff). IRL, I was asleep for about an hour.

      Anyway, a huge THANK YOU to the people who made the tutorials and such. I owe you one
      Disregard that.

      Sounds like a cool dream. The first really vivid LD is always memorable, you'll remember it for a long time

      Reminds me, I've got to try some guns when I next (finally) get lucid.
      We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true. - Woodrow Wilson

      What a great first LD! I read this green with envy. Congratulations... if your first is this vivid and detailed, then you truly have a lot to look forward to.

      PS: As a sidenote, I remember the first time I fired a gun in a LD. The weapon: Double barelled shotgun a la Doom, the target: the fattest zombie you can imagine. Bastard took ages to kill.

      Anyway, great dream.

      @ BPolar: I know! It feels so weird! It kinda takes you by suprise, because you expect it not to work

      @ Identity X: LOL!! I was actually playing Doom co-op with a friend about a week ago, so I know exactly what you're talking about ^_^

      Thanks for your comments, everyone! I feel awesome!
      Disregard that.

      When trying to spawn firearms I find it easier just to imagine myself holding it and shooting it. If you try to make it spawn it wont be what you want it to be or it will be really hard to find. Usually when I try to spawn something I find myself looking for it, getting frustrated and finally saying "Screw it!"

      another good way to spawn a firearm is to go to a place you know where guns are located (the gun store, the local military base, an armory) your mind can usually put two and two together when you do this.

      Which reminds me next time I LD I need to go to the AF base and take an Apache for a test flight. hehe
