I can imagine how dissapointing that must of felt.

My first lucid dream occured when I was 19, and I had never heard of lucid dreaming before, so as you can imagine it was pretty unsettling.

I fell asleep, and then I woke up to the sounds of my brother and his friend coming up the stairs, which I could see from my bed. As they got to the top of the stairs, they suddenly froze in terror, looking at something outside my door in the hallway. They turned around and ran down the stairs in panic. I got up and cautiously went into the hallway, where a large, featureless black figure was standing. Naturally, I was terrified, because everything was so true to life. The figure threw me backwards down the stairs, and although the sensation of falling felt real, the impact when I hit the bottom didn't hurt. As the thing is slowly coming down the stairs towards me, I'm screaming "Who are you? Who are you?", and I turn and look at my brother and his freind, who are just staring at ME like I'm the monster. Suddenly I wake up, covered in sweat and already jumping to my feet while barely conscious.

After that, my dream-life changed dramatically, and even in non-lucid dreams I don't feel completely like a passive observer the way I did when I was younger. In the past year, I've been gradually gaining a little more lucidity even in my other-worldly dreams, which is fun most of the time, but sometimes really disturbing.

EDIT: Ok, after some browsing I just realized that my understanding of the word "lucid" is incorrect, in the sense that "lucid" means "aware that you are dreaming". I tend to consider any dream in which I have a clear sense of self, physics, etc, as "lucid".
So actually my first lucid dream occurred a few months after the experience above. I woke up, got out of bed, and despite the fact that everything in my room looked spot-on, everything seemed unusually vivid and crisp, including the motion caused by moving my head, kind of like a super smooth frame rate. I realized that I was dreaming and was really excited, and the first thing I thought to do was go look in the mirror. I did, and marvelled at how cool it was to be looking at myself in a "virtual reality". But then my teeth started crumbling into powder, and I felt something akin to "pain" and woke up.

My first lucid experience happened at the beginning of this month.

At first my vision was filled with red static, then from the center an image started to unfold, until I could see my hand in front of me. I was back in my childhood home, and one thing I noticed was the lack of furniture (only a bed was in the room) and the floor was red concrete instead of white tile. I looked at my hands and did a few spins to maintain the dream while everyone was getting ready in the morning. I tried to go outside of the room, but none of the lights in the house were on, and I admit, I was a bit scared. Then my cousin woke me up when he opened the door to the bathroom.

I cant really remember, but the earliest ones i can remember are:

Flying over some jungle in a plane, crash landing and seeing a pink dinosaur (and more..).

Have you ever played Mario 64? Remember the staircase to the last boss where the stairs never stop? Imagine running up a hill just like that while being chased by a monkey with a chainsaw, to make it worse it was on a skateboard.

i was about 11-14 when these 2 happened, yes they are weird.

My first Lucid dream was when I was like . . . 8? I was walking around school when I realised I was dreaming, so I blew up a building.

Mmmm my firstt one was like a couple years ago and i remember i lost a couple of my teeth in it and i was in a very bright playground
and then some girl came up and started talking to me
i didnt do anything except freak out when irealized i was dreaming haha so when i knew i was i was like "goodbyyye world" and everything turned white and i woke up

but my first one while trying was a nightmare and i realized my friends werent zombies so i got angry/confident and jumped at them and screamed "EXPLODE" and they kindaaaa...yeah exploded it was pretty gross hah but it was nice to conquer a nightmare

When I was a young gentleman at the mere age of four.

Actually, my first lucid dream was a few days ago when I dreamed about writing this VERY post in this site. I then started to teleport to other areas so fast and then I recognized I was dreaming. Then, I looked up about recognizing that you are in a dream in Google and I stumbled upon dreamviews.com!

Really? So you predicted typing that post?

Welcome to the community by the way.

This was about 6 years ago now. I was having this really intence dream about being chased thought the sewers of my town. (each of the sewers pipes door was a toilit seat)one pipe lead me to a man hole and I was above ground again then I turned to my Dream camera and said with really big attitude "This is a dream you idiot" then I went on with my dream! I didn't realize I could have controlled my dream from there on it, so i went about my dream like normal. I didn't have another Ld until 6 years later when i found this site and read about lucid dreaming... the first night I tried i had four but woke up each time before gaining any control. I am still at this stage.

My three earliest lucid dreams were all the same thing. I couldn't tell you when they occured because it was so long ago. But in each one, there's a city just inside the left of my field of view. Though insignificant, I remember it having white buildings. My main attention is the sky, which is white and cloudy for the most part, but there is a massive break in the clouds, and in that break is the blue sky and a large alarm clock that is transparent except for the round case, the numbers, the arms and the bells.

In each one, I think to myself, "I could wake up whenever I want to." The first two times, I wake myself up, but then I struggle with the third attempt. It eventually works, I think.

Well, the first one that I can remember was a couple of years ago (I have probabky had some before that, just can't remember them), and I was on the field at my school, and all of a sudden I relaized I was dreaming. Since I am lucky, and my lucids always last long, it was very vivid, and I remember having total control.

Actually yes! And I have deja vu's all the time actually, and thanks it's a very active forum here!

The very first one I could actually remember was when I was in elementary school. I don't know how old I was. Maybe 6? I was walking out of my school, standing out by where the busses were. There was this older woman there, standing right in front of me. For some reason, her face begin to transform into some weird, ghoulish scowl, and she let out this yell that kept growing louder and louder. The whole thing assualted my senses - her face growing more and more demonic-looking, and the sound of her yell getting so loud that I had to cover my ears, closing my eyes as well to keep from looking at her face.

Absolutely terrified, I realized that this was a nightmare, and new I had to wake myself up. That was when I discovered how to open my waking-world eyes, while in a dream, and wake myself up whenever I wanted to.

I've had them since childhood, but one of the earliest I remember was in elementary school, probably 3rd grade. I showed up to school naked, and I thought to myself "Why do I ALWAYS dream this?" - then the "aha" moment - I just figured out I was in the dream! Not knowing what else to do and hating this dream, I ran into the hall and screamed WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP! over and over and well, that worked.

my first lucid i was dreaming i was in my room and i just felt this like presence over me like shift in focus so i knew i was lucid so i tried to summon a cheesburger but no luck i tried ot do anime stuff but no luck then i hear a noise like powertools or soemthing then i walked beside my bed when this black demonic thing came in jump on my bed and placed its hand on my head and i tried to look up but i couldnt see its face and then it ended

I don't really remember my first lucid.
I know I had a whole lot when I was younger, because I developed a technique to get myself out of lucid dreams that were going in a bad direction.
The earliest lucid experience I remember having was a werewolf DC telling me "you aren't getting out of this dream."
I was outside of my grandparents trailer, and it was night, and it scared the hell out of me.
Werewolves in general were pretty much the scariest things ever to me, at that age.
So, I freaked out, but instead of running, used that technique I had developed to wake myself up.

My very first Lucid Dream actually lasted a long time. Not to mention this was a long time before i actually knew anthing about this topic.
I was at my school which was my frist key that i was dreaming because i knew that it was a staurday. So my frirst reaction "holy crap im dreaming" So my first thought was, "i want to fly" and it just so happens that on my first try, it actually happened, although i found it rather difficult to keep control of my body as i flew through the air. Then i pretty much woke up, not exciting to describe but it was pretty amazing for me since i had never done anything remotely close to that befoe

My first lucid dream came around February-April 1994 (I was 7 going on 8) when I was introduced to two women, but their introductions came courtesy of kaleidoscopic patterns. One girl started talking and then the blue pattern faded away to show her. However, when the other one was revealed after seeing the pink pattern (this was like 13 years into the future, so that would be last year), I heard some really unpleasant sounds. It sounded like moaning in pain after being possessed by an evil spirit. Since then, I had called the girl under the pink pattern "Amanda" for quite a while.

Coincidentally in November 2007, I recently thought about this dream and that inspired me to create a character for one of my novels. The character's name is Amanda Lafferty. She's 23 (born April 16, 1985) and hails from Santa Barbara, California. She has sea blue eyes and blonde hair, stands 5'7", and she's one of the main characters in a novel I'm going to write over the summer. It's nice to know that you can get story character ideas just by dreaming.

My very first were when I was very young. Except they would turn into vivid nightmares where I would actually hallucinate when I was awake. I've searched many places to see what they actually were now that I am an adult, and they all point to schizophrenia, which I don't have.

Now, to lighten the mood after that lovely story, my first adult lucid was much, much better. I was in my house and running from some guy who was coming after me. I had purchase a gun to protect myself. I was packing to run away, and as I was searching the house to see what I missed, I started to notice weird thing I didn't own. Then the gun felt light and plastic, something I knew was not possible. I ended up confronting my pursuer into a matrix style showoff. The dream ended when I corner him and shot at him, only to find out guns don't work in dreams. I didn't want to kill him anyways. This dream is what lead me to find out about lucid dreams. I didn't even know you could have them until then.

My first LD was dumb and shortlived. I woke up in my bed and grabbed my ipod next to my bed and started listening to it. A few seconds later I was like "Wait a minute. I took this downstairs earlier". That's when i realized I was dreaming and woke up right then.

There was this evil spirit monster thing that could assume the form of any of my friends, family, or pets. I was in grade school, and it had cornered me and my friends into the gym, which started to flood. It grabbed me by the neck and shoved me underwater... Where I could breathe! I knew that it could only happen in a dream. I socked the monster a good one and after it was defeated I had a false awakening, where it returned, assuming the form of my cat.

And then I really woke up, and my cat was sitting in the same spot as the dream. I was wary for an hour or so before I definitively proclaimed I was awake.

i was in fourth grade. i know i was in fourth grade, because i was missing my old friends... i was on a city walk and there was a bunch of tar and i stepped in it... the guide said get out of there but i said no, i'm dreaming... the guide tried to pull me out but i switched dreams... the Sapphire Diamond.... i always wanted to do that again so when i saw it in a witch book later (RC method) i went psycho... didn't have another till sixth or seventh grade... WBTB

Well I got my first LD, (which I can remember) 2 weeks ago, it was a FA but it was very inaccurate, firstly it was the middle of the day and my English teacher was rummaging around the spare bed in my room , I decided to do the hand RC and I noticed I had 8 finger thus causing me to go lucid

Strangely enough I left that dream and partially woke up and had a DEILD, it was short too, basically the only thing that happened was I "woke" up in this large room with really reflective bulging metallic mirrors covering the inside I also think someone else was lying next to me, I tried to move but it turned out I wasn't in SP so as soon as I did move I went back to the real world GAH...
