What was your first Lucid experience like?

I think I had my first Lucid experience last night, but i'm not completey sure. I remember doing the nose-pinch test, but it was just complete blackness. Although it wasn't a normal type of blackness; it was really hazey and the whole thing was quite vague. I remember spinning to try to stabilize it, but I couldn't do it quick enough before the (lucid?) dream just kind of went. It felt like I was dragged out of it, but it wasn't like being physically dragged.

Infact i'm not even sure if it was Lucid, but I definately had some vague consciousness. Maybe I was semi-Lucid?

My 1st lucid was great but didn't last very long. I was in a coffeehouse in a normal dream, and suddenly I walked through a window, and at that moment I realized I was dreaming and the 1st thing I did was try to fly; it was very hard I had to flap my arms rofl, few seconds after it began to fade and i tried to spin but i couldn't because I was in 3rd person, that was it.

The 1st dreams are always quite confusing. I dreamed my 1st lucid when I was a kid, I was walking across my street when suddenly appeared a great white dragon breaking the balcony of my home, then I looked at him and I said "bah this is just a dream" and I continued walking and I don't remember anymore.

Yeah, but atleast you actually did something. For me, as I said, it was just a hazey black. Infact i'm starting to question if it was lucid because it was really vague, but I really do remember being conscious and aware for about 5 seconds. It was strange, but hopefully a start.

The patience is a virtue. Still straining, it is at least a step ;)

Anyone else care to share?

I just need some reassurance that it will get better than just a vague, hazey blackness. :?

My first two lucids faded to that hazy blackness within a few seconds. It sucks, but after that it's awesome. The two I had after that lasted several minutes and were incredibly awesome. I still can't maintain full control, but I'm getting there. It's like anything else, you get better at it with time.

Yay!!!

Finally some reassurance. :happyme: :thanks: :bliss: :cheers:


- Although I still want to here what other people's first LDs were like.

The blackness often appear in LD, a trick to stay into the LD is to stick to something in your dream: a chair, a lampost, a tree or a simple ring that you've in your finger. Also you can focus the objects of your dream, it's harder but more effective. I hope you get better results in other LD's.

In my first lucid dream, I flew. I also had my first lucid dream on my first try! Sorry for the bragging. You can read more about my experience on my post.

I had my second Lucid experience last night. :banana: . I don't remember what happened before I became Lucid, but I remember being on here (dream views) on my computer. I looked at the clock on my computer and it said 1:26. I knew straight away I was dreaming, because it had the same vague, hazey blackness, but this time it was more clear than my first, and it seemed to last a bit longer; maybe 6-8 seconds this time.

So after a month-and-half of trying without any luck, i've finally had two in the last two days. :boogie: What is interesting though is the fact that I've actually been trying to WILD and haven't been doing reality checks or looking for dream signs, but these two experiences definately weren't WILDs. Maybe they were MILDS, because both times I fell asleep trying to WILD, so the last thing I thought about before sleeping was Lucid dreaming.

Congratulations! :D

My first LD was a WILD. As a matter of fact, all my LDs were Wilds. Anyway, it was very realistic and it was about five minutes long. I flew, kicked a dog and used telekinesis on another one. It was my best LD yet :banana:

It was awesome. I experienced happiness greater than I had ever felt before. I literally laid grinning in my bed for a full two and a half hours. I still use the memory to cheer myself up. :)

This was my really first lucid dream experience.....

I was out with some friends at school. Then, a weird rocket appeared out of nowhere and the school blew up. We were all running, but for some reason, it felt good to be out and free. There were also alot of boat like rocket ships in the sky, which was changing colors. I even remember the smell of sausages....

well, I felt good and said, "If this was a dream, no chance in hell that I want it to end!" Then, the magic worked right there. I realized it was a dream, then everything went all bright,until I found a friend telling me to 'wake up'(I was still dreaming). I asked her what happened, and she looked at me stupidly and said, "Dude. You were so excited about flying wienies that you passed out. Anyway, they banned school, so our class is going out." (the quote isn't exact, but it was something like this) So I had fun shopping.

It counts as a lucid dream since I knew that all this time I was dreaming. But it felt so real and wonderful that I relaxed, went with the flow, and had fun.
btw, does this also count as an epic dream since it's vivid and all?

My first ever dream where I made myself lucid dream. It is also the shortest and hardest to remember. I am in a dark hallway. I think it was on fire, but I don't think it was. I reached the stairs when I decide to pinch my nose. When I did...I breathed through it! All of a sudden this blast of energy rushed through me. I was suddenly aware of what I am doing for a second when I fell over thinking I will land on the stair, but I go right through it. Everything turned black and I woke up.

10 characters.

My first lucid dream I was wandering through an empty city, looking for other people.

I remember looking around and realizing "There's no way I'm the only person here? Am I dreaming?" All of the sudden it was a rush of vividness and excitement as I became lucid, but then I promptly woke up. :(

My first lucid dream came from a very long regular dream where I was on some sort of expedition with a bunch of people. On the way back my cat (who is spayed) had a kitten, then the kitten ran off and I chased after it. Then this guy came up to me and was like, "that's my cat." At first I didn't believe him, then I realized that it was his cat. At that point I was thoroughly confused, and I suddenly realized it was a dream. I stood there for about half a second, then woke up.

I know about the hazy blackness though. Oftentimes it comes right after I become lucid. I usually try to DEILD back into the dream. So far it hasn't worked, but I've had some pretty cool SP from it.

I may have had one of those LD right at end of a nightmare, but I'm not counting those.

My first was two years ago and a DC told me that I was dreaming. I was happy. I probably stayed up longer than most people in their first LD

I wish my DCs would tell me when I was dreaming. That would be very useful.

My first Lucid Dream that lasted more than a second was quite cool, although still rather
short. Here's what happen: It starts off non lucid...

"I walked up to the fence near the sheep paddock by our house and was trying to make
a flower open up by telling it to in my mind, I then became Lucid, and turned around and
looked at my hands. My vision was a bit hazy, so I rubbed my hands and it became
clear. I then looked around a bit, then I thought about flying, so I bent my knees and
then jumped up into the air with a blast, and flew about 500+ feet into the sky, but
things started to look weird, So I flew back down, and on the way down I was thinking,
I have gotta try kayaking. But then the dream ended."

Short and unsatisfying :?

I've had about 3 lucid dreams in my life, the one that sticks out the most started from sleep paralysis which I've been experiencing since i was about 18.

I was having SP and was fighting to move, i then managed to drag my body out of bed (dreaming) and got out of my room and looked back into my room to see myself lying there, i then ran down stairs and remember thinking "wow i am actually dreaming" and didn't wake up... as i got to the bottom on my stairs i opened the porch door and walked into the porch, i then decided to try and jump through my front door which I did.

I was then standing outside and it was daylight even though i knew it couldn't have been, anywayz as i turned around and looked at the bush in my front garden and suddenly everything became much more sharper and vivid, each leaf on the bush was clear and the surroundings then followed... once everything became really sharp i decided to try and fly so i closed my eyes and i was kind of hovering over my road, i looked down the road and seen a figure riding a bike towards me so i decided to try and make contact, as i was hovering down i lost consiousness and faded back into a dream... i probably woke up about 3 mins later and was loving the experience.

My first was also disappointingly short: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...54&postcount=2

my first one was so short before i woke up. i was at a reoccurring place in my dreams, a strange mall, and i recognized it. I got lucid and looked around, i was so shocked i finally did it. i walked around looking everywhere, then i tried flying, which was a major fail, aha. I tried, and i didn't go anywhere. So i tried jumping, but all i could do was glide a few feet off the ground. I got too excited though and woke up after about, 5 minutes.

My first LD was pretty weird, the darkness came but I stared at my hand (what the forums said) and looked at the detail and stuff, and soon it came back into focus, but it was pretty out of focus. So I swam underwater (that's where I was) for a bit, talked to my dad, and (time skip, I guess I un-lucidified) was standing on an invisible platform above the city. Then the blackness came and I was like nooooooooooooooooooooooooo. My second lucid was vivid and amazing though.

My first lucid was a sex related one, I am really immature I guess :(

Lol, my second and third had sex in them, not vaginal though, since I would rather lose my virginity irl (which, admittedly, is kind of a worthless sentiment, but I shall stick by it.)

Also the second dream had other stuff.

The third dream happened like this:

FA, RC, look out window, HOT GIRL, Fly down, order a BJ, BJ. Wake up.

Mine was like, with my cousin though so it was weird but it was a VERY fun dream... shut up...

what

(I won't judge, just don't elaborate)

Also, I wouldn't go spreading that around.

Bah, I don't care it's just a dream.

I had my first last night :D I was stood at the back of my room and randomly did a nose pinch test. It worked and i realised i was dreaming. I then took a few steps forward and jumped (trying to fly) i hovered for a second then slowly fell to the floor. I got a bit too excited and woke up...

My very first lucid dream was way back when I was a kid like seven or eight years old.

I found myself outside of my house, it was a nice summer day, nice and bright out. Somehow I realized that I was dreaming. I noticed a group of girls in my backyard. I said to myself that I am dreaming and I should try to grab one of the girls butts. I thought it would be okay and I wouldn’t get in trouble. As I was fondling this girls butt, she turned around and started yelling at me! I don’t remember what she was saying but she would not shut up and her friends were looking at me with this disgusting look on their face. I got scared and thought I wasn’t dreaming and that I was going to get in trouble for what I did. I was like what the hell did I just do. LOL

Mine was quite confusing because I did a reality check but I didn't have reason to, I didn't see anything that made me question whether I was dreaming, I just did it. So I'm not sure if it was lucid or if I dreamt that it was lucid within a dream...:shock:

well i had a recurring dream which turned into a reacurring lucid dream when i was about 5... since i didnt know what it was i didnt really think to much about it or tell to many people about it.

but many yrs later.. i had a dream that i was in a video store just looking around. when i saw a mirror.
my face looked as if it was melting and i was like wtf!:shock: i was lucid:roll:
this freaked the hell outter me.. which caused it to end... but it didnt end.. i had a fa which even freaked me out more:D i been obsessed ever since.

Mine was a bit scary because I had never heard of lucid dreaming when I had my first one. I was standing in the lounge when I realised I was dreaming but I couldn't wake myself up and I started to wonder if the reason for this was that I'd actually died in my sleep :(

:eek: That does sound scary.

For me, I was at my friend's house in the dream. I just realised I was dreaming with no apparent trigger. I walked around and just experienced what it felt like to be in a dream (to be honest, I was a bit in awe that I was actually walking around whilst being asleep). I tried not to get too excited incase I woke up.

I tried to run through a door. It didn't work though because I didn't think I would be able to do it at the time. After that I made myself wake up so I could write it down (I didn't want it to be too long incase I forgot it). :)

My first lucid experience was when I was on a school camp a few years ago.

I woke up in my tent, but it was too early to get up to relaxed a bit. Drifted back to sleep, and had a dream I was on top of a building. I realised I was dreaming, and decided I'd try and fly, jumped off the building, flew into the air.

Woke up.

Short lived, but still good.

Im not sure if this is a LD butthis is it. what I can remember anyways.
when I was younger I was into
these things called skannerz which were only red, blue, and green.
well In my dream I was at my house with my two friends and we found three orange ones and we thought it was the coolest thing and I remember saying to myself (in my dream) "Man. too bad this is just a dream" and thats all I can remember.

But anyways. I recently just got hardcore into what lucid dreaming and stuff about dreams, and by recently I mean yesterday. so last night I looked up a bunch of things on Lucid dreaming and found out all the reality checks and the
one I thought would be the easiest is to look at my hands.
So last night as I was going to sleep I kept repeating to myself "am I dreaming?".
Then I guess I fell asleep and I remember looking at my hands while I was asleep. the thing was though, is that I had read that when you look at your hands while sleeping, you see that you have more than 5 fingers on each hand but when I looked while I was sleeping my hands were REALLY blurry.
but thats all I can remember. =/ and i blame my alarm clock.

so is that Lucid dreaming?

Thanks for replying. Although I do hate you for having your first Lucid experience like less than a day after you started. :D:bowdown:

I think I remember them skannerz things. Is it them things where you scan a bar-code and then it come up with some weird creature or something like that?

I'm not sure when my first one was. I was really young. I dunno, I might have had them my whole life.

I'm happy for all you who have started having them. It is really simple if you have confidence in your ability to stay asleep while you're having one.

Yea. Thats what Skannerz are. me and my friends used to think they were so cool. :D

My first experience was last night too! :D

I was driving around with one of my friends, when i saw him (like a clone) on the side of the road talking to a cop. I was like "dude i think youre in trouble over there" and he said it was nothing... I kinda felt it was weird so i got out of the car and looked at him in the drivers seat, then across the street. And for no reason i just looked at my hands as an RC, i didnt have any pinkies so i immediately thought i was dreaming. I started rubbing my hands and spinning and tried the entire dream to learn how to fly! It was so cool :lol:

I had two last night, lasting a total of about 3 seconds. I woke up right after I realized both times. My very first one was less than a second long. I spent the whole time in the fetal position on the floor of my old science classroom.

technically my first lucid was when I was five. It was 12 years before I had any more.then I found this forum.

I was with some friends and we all took Extasy for some odd reason, and instead of getting drugged up I was slowly becoming lucid! I walked into a big dark factory that had mirrors everywhere, so I kept seeing myself when i'd turn a corner, it was freaky at first but I soon became lucid from it and flew around the factory, then looked through like 300 cassette tapes, big box of shoes, ext. It was exciting!

my first lucid happened when i was in my english class at school. my teacher handed me my repor card but it made absolutely no sense. I looked behind me and the wall was covered in leopard skin, and then I just knew that I was dreaming.

my first LD: I was in my english class and the teacher was handing out report cards. my mark made no sense so i looked back and the wall was entirely covered in leopard skins. i then knew i was dreaming. however, i got really excited, heard a buzzing noise, then woke up.

I had my first lucid experience last night. In my dream, I was lying in bed with my eyes closed thinking about stuff. I decided to do a reality check, but never opened my eyes. I was able to breathe while pinching my nose, and was able to push my tongue through my front teeth. I realized I was lucid, so I tried to gently open my "dream eyes", but ended up opening my real ones and waking up. I tested myself for false awakening like six times after that.

When i was 9 or so and i didnt know you coud do what ever you want in lucid dreams, so it woud happen each time i had a nightmare and i woud wake myself up.

My first one happened about a year ago. (Sorry if this long.) I didn't know anything about lucid dreaming at the time, I just came home from class one day to take a nap and almost immediately I was in this surreal world. I was standing on bluff overlooking a city by a harbor. The buildings all looked really futuristic but were made from ancient-looking stones and were covered with vines. The landscape had a tropical/lush look but the climate was cool. What really caught my attention though was the sky. There were hundreds of brightly colored planets hanging so low in the sky I was sure I could touch them. I reached up and that's when I noticed my hands weren't my real hands. I remember thinking, "this isn't my body" and realized I was in the body of young girl, about 13. I felt a presence next to me, so I turned to see an old man with a white beard and kind looking face. He then proceeded to tell me the meaning of life as we looked down at the odd city. I could hear my conscious voice saying, "You HAVE to remember this! This is important!!!" Then I woke up and promptly forgot everything he said. ARRRGGHHH!! So close.

It was really cool. I was really stressed to go to my next class. And then I realized "if I was dreaming, I wouldn't have to take the test.". I dismissed it as wistful thinking. Then I went to my classroom and my teacher was one that wasn't at the school anymore. I suddenly realized I was dreaming. Basically, there was a hall full of kids my age. Let's just say I did what I wanted for about 10 seconds before it ended.

Surreal. Nothing spectacular, though. I took a limo, with my date, to a luxury hotel. On the way, I marveled at the detail of the city. The colorful shops lining the streets were lit-up, busy, and surprisingly active for that time of night. There was a beautiful, modern, open market, and the high-rise buildings around it had sleek black windows that glinted in the moonlight. When we got there the bus boy, of all people, wouldn't let us in without payment. I pulled the 'don't you know who I am line', reached into my pocket, and discovered the pull anything you want out of your pocket trick. The card I gave him was denied, which royally pissed me off. I was unable to control my emotions. They cost me my lucidity and the dream.

my first lucid dream was back when i was seven or eight. i was in my old house, with some of my friends. it was dark inside, i think the power was out, and it was stormy outside. i was standing in my living room when i got the sense something was wrong. i began to walk towards the window as my friends disappeared. suddenly, a huge male deer charged through the glass and stopped to star at me. as he began to charge, i shut my eyes, and suddenly it was as if i was looking at a nintendo controller. it had a pause button, and a quit button. i realized i was dreaming, and as i became aware of the deer again, i pressed the quit button right away, and woke up.

pretty cool =]

It wasn't my first lucid experience but it was the first that I could remember from beginning to end.

http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=78620

it was about one week ago, before my first LD i was in ROME, back in TORINO i went to sleep..and then i saw my Dreamsign (famous people) so i saw Paris Hilton and Josh Hartnett together then i realized i was in a dream..i walth through a window i saw Rome it looked Perfect i i decided to try flying so i moved with my arms i flyed like a fish in the water...it only last for about 15-20 Seconds because a Car in the Real Life Honked i i woke up but it was enough for a big Smile on my Face the whole Day...!

I was in an oppressive dream with a bad man holding a gun. I told myself it was only a dream and now I was going to kick his arse. Then I beat him like a rented mule with my tiny fists and some weird kung fu stuff....YESSSSSSSS!

Mines faded into a hazy blackness but I was still concious and appeared in a different setting.

I first found out about Lucid dreams by some stray comment on an unrelated forum, and decided to Google it.
So I thought to try a WILD. A few days later it worked. I was lieing in my bed, telling myself that I would soon be dreaming, and suddenly I found myself in small about 4 by 4 meters room with wooden panels of some sort on the walls (no doors or windows, I think), without any sort of transition what so ever. I took two steps forward, did the nose RD and thought something like "Cool! I'm dreaming". Then I felt the dream ending, and one of the walls "disappeared" (like in an old 3D game, it got switched out with gray) and tried spinning, but got the technique confused and lay down on the floor. Woke up the next morning without remembering any other dreams.

It was back when I was twelve years old (nine years ago). I was on a beach with lots of people. I just realized I was dreaming and I blinked and suddenly everything froze as if I stopped time itself (see Hiro Nakamura's power from the TV show 'Heroes'). There was even a Frisbee stuck in midair. I walked amongst the people. This reality was fragile because anything or anyone I touched crumpled to the ground like a house of playing cards.

Suddenly a black shroud from the edges of my vision began to cover up the scene. I felt my blanket on top of me even though I was on a beach somewhere. Then I woke up.

That is one of my goals. It must've been really cool.

That's the one I'd like the most - I could really do some awesome stuff with Hiro's power. Had my first LD recently and was like :shock: so did the first thing that came to mind - flight. Lasted about 30 seconds and started to fade, I tried dreamspinning and it made a weird noise coming out from my head, so I stopped and it ended.
