Thread: My first lucid dream!

Lucid
Not Lucid

This is a really weird first:

I am in a classroom with a bunch of gothic/dead preschoolers circling around me. There are now doors or windows. Then, all of the sudden, I get a strange feeling something is wrong. I poke my finger through my hand! I become lucid. Only one problem, I have no special abilities. I just start yelling "Wake up! Wake up!" I "wake up" in a massive woodshop with a bunch of tools. Then a massive, and by massive, I mean 15 ft+, man with overalls and a plaid shirt tells me to stop sitting and start working. I realize this is a dream still. After a while, I say "This is not what I was expecting of the famous lucid dream." And wake myself up.

My feelings about this dream can be summed up as:

Thats to bad to have a nightmare as your first LD. Keep trying and you will get some fun ones. Be sure to fly!

You probably won't get any cool powers for a while. It took me six tries to finally have an LD where I could do cool things like create stuff, etc. Actually, that's a rather good first lucid dream: you realized you had falsely awakened. Expect this to happen for the next couple of LD's. Just realizing you're dreaming is quite an accomplishment. Congratulations!

yayy congrats on a first lucid dream!

I've never had the classic nightmare with all your fears, but I have had a recurring dream where I am being sucked into a big black hole, and the nly reason it was terryifying is because my mind is twisted. I'm not insane, I think with logic and what is reasonable, but this dream was more like a bad trip. Bending faces. Swirling and screaming, but its the moments that make no sense that is what terrifies me. My subconcious is not something I like to keep in touch with. That's what my nightmares are like. I may go more in depth on them if there is a thread like that somewhere.

Congrats on the first lucid! Don't worry, it takes practice to get super cool powers, but it's well worth the wait.
