First real full lucid dream!

After having several semi-lucid not quite all there dreams I finally had my first full lucid and I can't get back to sleep. Totally surprised me how incredibly awesome and over the top it was...like experiencing reality with enhanced senses.

I had at least 4 dreams that I know of...last one being lucid.

#1. We were camping with family and a friend was telling of a dream about being chased by a huge buck and then killed somehow. In the middle of the night I woke up and went out side the tent to come face to face with a very small wolf.

#2. Some guy I've never met was testing a prototype space craft in combat against the enemy. He was in a pitched fight and after obliterating several craft his ship was destroyed...later we were working on the final design of the craft and watching video from the "black box" of the original prototype as the guy screamed happily while firing at oncoming enemy vessels with some kind of particle cannon.

#3. I was in some kind of meeting with all of these strange old guys. They had some kind of shapes cut from their collars to signify they belonged to some kind of order or club. I was talking in a strange, very deep and dignified voice...like rich and snobby.

#4. It was the end of #3 that got me lucid. I was thinking about how funny my voice was and then I paused to take in reality and just knew I was dreaming.

At that point I was having a bit of trouble keeping focus inside the building but this blonde walked past and out a door...signaling me to follow. I figured outside might be a good idea and when I stepped through the door I was totally shocked.

Everything suddenly got overly clear and I was in a small valley filled with fields of wheat and hay. There were green trees all over the rolling hills around me and a nice cold breeze with warm sun and blue sky.

I could smell and see everything above and beyond what I could have in waking life. It really is hard to describe.

The blonde had stopped on the porch and signaled me to wait there. She left and I stepped off the porch to wait. At that point I was just taking everything in and totally shocked that a dream could be so real.

I kept asking myself if I was still dreaming because it felt so real. Everywhere I looked there was no glitching or anything...just awesomeness in real time.

I was extra surprised in that I became so excited about what I was seeing that cold ran all through me and goose bumps. This didn't effect the dream or make me wake up so I'm guessing I can probably experience alot of emotion without having to worry about that.

What finally ended it was when I started wondering where the blonde went. She seemed to have something to say. Instead of waiting and taking my time I tried to force the situation by reconstructing part of my view with my mind.

Of course it glitched up a bit and I started to feel my real physical breathing and fade back to reality.

Apparently, letting my sub conscious work things out does alot better than trying to take control with my logic. Next time I'll try to figure out how to exert my will with my sub conscious as the go to guy and no visualization from me.

Congratulations!! I still didn't have a lucid dream yet, but im trying.

I can picture the "fields" that you described - and when you mentioned porch I picture a little wooden house in the middle if it. Am I right? Hopefully, next time you can visit the place again and maybe give flying across the fields a go.

Something like that. I think it looked alot like the front porch on my deceased grandma's house that I grew up around as a kid. It had a sheet metal roof and the supports were those goofy black metal ones with the leafy flowery shapes.

The breeze hit me right in the face with the smell of hay/wheat from the field and I took a deep breathe and almost swallowed a bug. Was something else entirely.

I wondered how accurate people's descriptions of lucid dreaming actually were. Looks like they were dead on.

I tried a few more times and had about 3 more good action dreams but no lucid.

I had been trying for months to have a real lucid. This time I haven't been trying any WILD stuff. I've just been examing reality around me randomly when I think about it and then telling myself I would know I was dreaming when I go to sleep.
