Thread: Best Christmas gift ever

Thats right, after, wow, two or three years of being interested in lucid dreaming, I finally had my first last night. Honestly, I just about lost hope as my dreams are extremely realistic. The strange thing is, I didn't do a thing to plan for it. I went to bed at about 4 am (couldn't really sleep) not even thinking about dreams.

I don't remember the non-lucid dream part very clearly, but when I went lucid, I can remember every second of it. I was walking with two of my friends who I know on my University campus. I look to my right (I'm still dreaming here) and I see my friend Anthony, who I haven't seen in years, and doesn't even live in the same city as me. I thought about it in the dream, thinking "this is weird, I haven't seen him in years!" This was the turning point. I remember asking myself, "Am I dreaming?" and the moment I realized I was in the dream and had full lucidity I turned to my two friends and said "I'm dreaming!"
I also began focusing on the palms of my hands and I rubbed them together, all being aware of every movement I was making. I was totally in control! One of my friends said, "cool, cool. How do you know you're dreaming?" and I said, "because, we can fly."
Thats when I decided to try something. I just, floated. I wanted to float, so I did and it worked. I did come back down to the ground, so it was sorta like a prolonged levitation of some sort. But, my two friends and I just began running and doing these really long jumps, and just soaring through the air!
Then...I got a text message, which woke me up. I'm a little bummed, but so so happy that I finally went lucid.
To everyone who has taken going lucid very serious with no kind of results, I've been there. I've been trying for years, and had just about concluded that all you guys were completely nuts, but it finally happened. Just really wanted to share this. If that was the first and last lucid dream of my life, all my time spent researching was worth it.
