I can't say I had my first lucid dream, since I've had two before this, but this was the first one that I intentionally manipulated.
From my dream journal:
So, I was with Rick and some friends, and we rented some movies, one of which was a Fullmetal Alchemist movie. We were putting them away for later watchage, and I suddenly was very tired. Rick suggested that I take a nap. I went to the bathroom, and as I looked in the mirror, I noticed that my face was all swollen, and I had two noses. The dream me thought, "This is real, right? I'm gonna be stuck having two noses and one swollen eyelid FOREVER!"
But then I had a second thought. I did a RC, looking away and then back again, and I noticed it was back to normal. With my newfound awareness, I floated across the bathroom for a second, then decided to stick my hand through the very small mirror. It went through into another dimension, and I grabbed onto a leg, which I knew was Master Chief's. Strange, I never dream about Halo, or think about it often. Then I pulled my hand back, because the mirror was too small for me to use it to change settings. I went over to my friend rick, and I said, "Hey dude, check this out!" I formed a ball of purplish light over my finger, and shot it across the room. He seemed unimpressed. The dream faded, and I didn't remember how to keep lucidity, so I woke up.
Anyway, it wasn't very vivid except for directly after realizing my lucidity, any tips on how to make dreams more lifelike?
