Sloe's first lucid dream

**sloe** · 05-19-2009 04:16 PM

I’ve been a lurker here for a while. I’ve always been able to remember two or three dreams a week. For the last few weeks, I had been training myself to remember dreams, and during that time, I’ve been able to remember two to four dreams a night. Well, I am constantly waking up after the dream thinking, "Holy Crap, I WAS dreaming!" I was just accepting whatever was happening around me as reality during the dream, even when the most extraordinary things were occurring around me. Flying, my teeth falling out, my ex-wife still liked me and wanted to be around me, etc.

Well, last night I was sitting in my grandmother's house when she arrived with my grandfather. My grandparents no longer own that home seeing as they had passed about 10 years ago. So I was wondering what I was doing in my grandmother’s house when the reality hit me. "Holy Crap, I AM dreaming!" I was so excited, my heart started pounding, I felt like I was going to wake up. So I immediately initiated a spinning move. Now to my knowledge, I have never spun in a dream, but my spinning special effect was like the transporter effect in the new Star Trek movie with tiny points of light swirling around me. Anyway, the result was that I stayed in the dream. It was so cool. I guess for those of you experienced in LD, I don't have to explain it. I just enjoyed the dream, albeit short and confusing. But I just kept spinning and pushing my tongue into the roof of my mouth every time I felt like I was coming out of it. Now, I do not know who the cute brunette with the beautiful brown eyes and gorgeous smile was that walked past me. I did tell her hi as she passed, something I could probably never do in real life. But she is welcome to visit my dreams again any time.

I was so excited about my first LD, well, first that I am aware of, that I could not fall back to sleep for about two hours.

wow nice job controlling yourself, and yay for your first lucid! my first few were plagued by distracting, hot girls, but looks like you did well.

and yeah, the tongue thing and also rubbing your hands are good to maintain the dream.

Wow, congrats!

I didn't have a controled LD until my fourth on and I've only had five so far! Kudos to you! Keep it up. Who knows, maybe one day you'll make that chick reappear.
