Almost everyone can recall their first time. Many find it relatively awkward, I found it thrilling. A few nights ago I had my first lucid experience. It happened to be a false awakening but I managed to attain perfect lucidity but a few moments before I actually woke up. In the dream I awoke in my bedroom and attempted to turn on my lamp. Stubborn like those in many dreams the light refused to be turned on. At this point I was 90% sure I was dreaming. I quickly recalled a easy reality check, breathing through my nose as it was plugged between my thumb and my first finger. Vital air rushed through my nose and into my lungs, in no way inhibited by the blockade I had created with my fingers. 100% Lucidity was attained as I was sucked back into my bed and opened my eyes. For real this time. A single tear rolled off my cheek, I had finally accomplished something that has been on the back burner for nearly five years of my life. |

Haha. I love how you set this thread up. |

It was very vivid, unfortunately it only lasted a few moments. The next night I actually had a long lucid dream but it was not nearly as vivid as the one previous. And thanks dash, I was hoping it might catch some peoples attention |

Sounds like you've all had some really super dreams! Come to think of it, lamp shades are a really good way to catch false awakenings, because almost everyone switches their lamp on when they wake up! Unless the Sun's risen of course... |
