Thread: First ever Lucid Dream

So i've had quite a few now, but i just wanted to share two experiences: my first time i realized i was dreaming, and then my first ever lucid dream!

The first time i realized i was dreaming was during a nap last year at the very end of a dream. I couldn't remember much about it, but i was sitting outside my fraternity on a picnic table. My frat house looked strange and distorted, and i couldn't see behind me -- it was very weird, like the street and everything behind it was fuzzy. Funny enough, i was with two of my friends and we were smoking weed. I don't remember actually smoking it, just the actual fact that we were high. All of the sudden i felt a pull and started floating backwards -- what a STRANGE feeling. This was when i realized i was dreaming. My fraternity house got smaller and smaller, and then i slightly opened my eyes. My body was buzzing and still thought i was high, but when my eyes fully opened i realized i was in my bed, and i wasn't high!

Now, my first actual lucid dream: I was in England for some reason, with a friend from real life and my "best friend," who was actually a DC and from England. My DC and i left my other friend at a shopping mall (where incidently enough, all the clothes were red) and got in his car -- a jeep, like mine. The driver was on the right hand side, and as i got in the passenger seat, i looked down at the floor of the car and noticed something STRANGE: i could see through the floor of the car, but i saw the sky and clouds. I felt very strange and extremely confused. As i got in the car, i finally realized i was having a lucid dream. I didn't get excited, as i didn't realize at the time i could control LDs. Pretty soon the car transformed into a bus, and i was on top of the bus. Couches and chairs would appear out of nowhere and pile on top of each other. I climbed the tower of couches/chairs which was still on top of the moving bus and sat on the very top sofa. It was pretty relaxing, but then i saw a tunnel in which we were driving straight for -- i didn't panic, i was still very calm, but when the bus hit the tunnel, i flew...

I didn't have control over my flying, i just remember flying very far, more of a sort of "floating." I saw that over the tunnel were these metalic objects incased inside an even bigger tunnel, so we were essentially driving in a tunnel within a tunnel. As i soared toward one particular metal object that looked like an air conditioning unit, i thought "oh crap, this is going to hurt"...but i hit the object and bounced off it.

This is when the same thing as my first dream happened: i started floating backwards, kind of like floating back into my body. I woke up with that feeling of strange vibrations throughout my body again.

These were really interesting experiences to me! I just wish i could have controlled them! Since then, i have had other lucid dreams, but none as vivid as that one!
