Finally a lucid dream

for awhile i'v been trying to have a lucid dream, my "first" was when I was around 12 and I stayed up all night and sorta drifted in between sleep and awake. around 6 a.m., but I can't really remember that one, so I have been doing dream recall and all that stuff, I stopped for about 2 weeks, then one night I had a dream I was at school walking up the steps, I stopped and looked around, and said I'm dreaming I don't really know what set it off, it wasn't reality check I just sorta knew. my first thought was to fly, but I thought about it and I didn't feel like flying. so I just ran around and did whatever I felt like. It was pretty cool. now i'v been inspired to start up again and get serious about lucid dreaming.

Most of my lucids have been just sudenly realizing I was dreaming without any strange even setting it off. It's strange.

Congrats. Many more will come.

i've only had one lucid dream, a long time ago though. i was in sixth grade when i had it (i'm going into 11th now). like you, i just kind of reallized i was dreaming without any reality checks. it just hit me that i was dreaming. in the dream, i was at my school, but it looked a bit different. when i realized that i was dreaming, i looked around and thought "wow, everything looks so real!" and then just started to walk around. and then i thought "can i change my dream a bit?" and the first thing i thought of was a dragon. i tried to make a dragon appear. didn't work. i think, after a few minutes i either woke up or lost lucidity. can't remember. i just found this site though, and so now i'm going to try to have lucid dreams again.
