Thread: What was your VERY FIRST Lucid Dream?

Mine was when I was in Kindergarten. I remember used to wanting to know I was dreaming while dreaming. One night, I suspected it was a dream because I was in a tuxedo in my Kindergarten class. I realized this would never happen in real life and I soon became Lucid.

Cool ^ . My first lucid dream was a few years ago. I was in a completely white void. I realized that this was impossible so I became lucid. I remember soon after, I spawned a pac-man arcade machine.

I was in elementary school; 4th or 5th grade, I'm not sure.

I was at my elementary school during recess and me and my two best friends were at the swing set for forth and fifth graders that's shaped like a pentagon. We each had an animal symbol above our swings. One of my friends had a blue dolphin and the other had a purple cat. Mine was an orange ape and I didn't like this because I didn't like the color orange and I didn't like apes. I walked a ways up a hill and was standing on the blacktop looking down at the playground when I realized it was a dream. And I told one of my other friends who was standing next to me, "This is a dream."

She said that it wasn't, and we started arguing back and forth the way kids do:
"Yes it is."
"No it's not."
"Yes it is."

Then I looked around for proof and everything was a bit too colorful, but what I noticed as irrefutable evidence was that the ground was pixelated and made up of repeating squares of texture like in an SNES game.

mine is kind of lame. it was a few years ago. i was an owner of some ice cream shop and i thought, "i don't own an ice cream shop." and i just flew away. i woke up soon after. the end

Mine is in my dream journal here. Read all about it.
Short but sweet. That reminds me, I haven't used my binaural beats for quite a long time, I think I'll bust them out tonight.. I think I'll go with Newport Waves, I always smile when I think of that almost lucid I had with that one. It's so Don Juan-esque with the whole "traveling great distances" theme. (Without the long walk back! )

Mine's here somewhere. It happened several months ago, maybe even a full year I can't quite remember. I was running down a road, and I realized it was a dream, and I got this really charged feeling. I went on to fight zombies, I could summon more zombies, and I also called on a bus to come save me. At one point two zombies broke onto the bus and I was able to kill them with my bare hands.

Sounds like a good lucid, what did you do after you found out you were dreaming?

For my first lucid I do not remember what happened in it. I think it was most likely another nightmare (I had those every night) and I stopped running and told myself I was dreaming and all I had to do was wake up from the dream lol. So after trying to make my dream nightmare monster go away (which did not work) I told my self to wake up and I did.

I was really young at the time possibly 6-8. I was in my garden at night. I realised I was asleep and dreaming, my mum was watching me by the back door smiling. Once realising I could do what I wanted, I flew up to the roof. I then went in the kitchen and noticed I was peeing from two areas on my body.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.
