First LD - Flight and conversation with dream character

Hi this is my first proper post here. Cool site 8) ! I've been interested in lucid dreaming for a year and have excellent dream recalling abilities. I have had many dreams where I become aware that I'm dreaming but only in the last 5 seconds of the dream before awakening. This was my first proper Lucid Dream, which I was able to control.

I was pilotting a small airplane across the ocean. I accidentally crashed it. I survived and had to swim to land, although there was no land in any direction. I felt very scared and desperate. Then I realised it was a dream!

"This is a dream!", I proclaimed.

I said to myself, "Ok, I can fly if I want to. I will fly to shore." I flew up into the air out of the water and began flying with my arms outstretched. It was amazing. I fell back in and tried again. The second time I had more speed and control.

I remember looking at the sky, which was a beautiful orange/red sunset. It was so vivid and amazing, and I remember saying to myself, "I can't believe my mind created this world!!."

I flew ashore and arrived in an abandoned ruined metropolitan cityscape, with lots of rubble. I did not plan to arrive here, I just did. I decided that I could meet whoever I wanted, as it was my dream. So I asked to meet Neo from the Matrix. (I have to confess now that I'm a Matrix fan). I can't remember how he, and Morpheus, appeared but I was suddenly talking to him inside an old building.

I don't remember the whole conversation with Neo and Morpheus too but I remember saying something like this:

"This must be really weird for you, because you are merely a figment of my imagination."

He didn't respond with anything interesting, I don't think. But the concept of talking to a dream character with the full awareness that the person didn't exist was exhilirating and extremely profound!!!! I will never forget it. :shock: :shock: :!:

Then all of a sudden the building started shaking, as if it was about to collapse, and I felt that it was my "task" to save Neo from the building. I grabbed him and started to fly out of the ceiling but I couldn't burst out of the ceiling, despite being in the full knowledge that I was dreaming. I got very frustrated, which made it even harder to control, and then I woke up.

Anyway, thats it. There are probably many descriptions on this site but I felt compelled to write this down, just so I didn't go mad! My brother thinks I'm insane now, and I don't blame him. But the experience was totally amazing. Thanks for reading. 8)

Wow how cool is that! Im pretty new here to . Your lucid dream sounds cool ! :-P I have always been interested in lucid dreaming but i have never really had a lucid dream well once but it was really short. So you said your Lucid dream was really real is it as real as real life?

Good post man. :-P Talking to dream characters is great, huh? They always say the weirdest things. Once in an LD I was in my kitchen, and my dad was sitting at the table eating supper. He was complaining about how his food wasn't good (I looked at what he was eating, and I was like WTF? because he was eating delicious looking shrimp.). Anyways, I decided that now would be a perfect time to test out my powers, so I closed my eyes, and thought "Change!". I can't remember what it became, but I did it again and then it turned into a roast beef sandwich. Then my dad started talking about how this ring of white stuff on the sandwich was very high cholesterol, so once again I was like "Wtf!"

Geez just be happy and eat your d*mn sandwich. :lol:

Congrats and I hope you enjoy forums!

Thanks for the replies.

Kitti, yes it was very real. Unbelievably so. But I think it varied quite alot as the dream progressed. And being able to control it was such an exciting feeling. I can't wait to get back into that state. The possibilities are endless.

Its so frustrating though, because it is impossible to remember a dream in its entirity.

So, what? You just let Morpehus die? xD J/k....What did he say when you picked him up and tried to fly him out? XD..I need to have a lucid dream so I can talk with dream people!

He was getting mad because I didn't manage to actually get out of the building. I kept flying upwards and hitting the ceiling and not being able to burst through so he kept shouting "come on!", - then I woke up.

that's extremely kool. u should have asked Neo how he felt about not being "The One" anymore. you are now in ur dreams. it's a pretty kool thing. i love the feeling of flying personally. i havn't even been lucid yet but i still practice my flying skills in my normal dreams. the feeling is incredible and i havn't even flow while lucid yet! lol. well anywayz congrats on the sweet LD and welcome to the fourm...
