Ok, I just had my first lucid dream. I remember about 4 dreams from last night, and surprisingly enough the lucid was the hardest to remember. Once I remembered a few details about it, it all came flowing back though.

I woke up in the middle of the night, I didn't intend to but I must have had to go pee or I was thirsty or something. As I dozed back I focused on telling myself "you will have a lucid dream, you will have a lucid dream." It felt like just seconds later that I saw my grandpa wearing a hat backwards, I thought that was very strange. I then realized it must have been a dream. I remember thinking to myself, "Holy SH*T YOU'RE DREAMING." Immediately some cars came flying at me and i stopped them with a rocket launcher (like the ones in Halo). I then made some plasma balls between my hands and shot them like sub-zero shoots freezing balls. I figured I'd try to feel what my reality check felt like when I actually was asleep, so I plugged my nose and started breathing -- what a great feeling after weeks of feeling dumb and trying to breathe through my nose in class.

I knew I was dreaming but wasn't as level headed as I would have been in real life. The only fun things I did were run really fast and make plasma balls. I found making the plasma balls very easy, but I couldn't teleport myself or conjure anything. It felt like the dream lasted for at least ten minutes, but I realize it was probably closer to two or three. I started reading something in my dream, but when I looked away from the page to digest what I had read, everything went black and my reality check failed, then I realized I had lost the dream.

Oh well, it was a great feeling and I hope to have many more.
