First Lucid Dream - Mind Blowing Clarity and Control

**Pirani** · 03-22-2010 04:16 AM

Hi all, this is my first post on these forums, and I am happy to say that it is depicting my first LEGIT Lucid Dream.

I have always had a enthusiasm about Lucid Dreams - dreams themselves had always perplexed me, as had trances and inner-peace. Before this experience, I had practiced breathing techniques, sleep deprivation, altercations in eating habits, and meditation. My dreams have always been on the more vivid side, and partly lucid dreams have been a part of my dream-scapes for many years. But, last night, it was quite quite different.

The dream started vivid. I had fallen asleep late, after playing some Borderlands with a friend. My eyes were tired, and I fell asleep peacefully. The dream was not of the most bizzare circumstances - I was in my high school science class (I'm 16) and I was talking to the girl who sat next to me - We'll call her Drew Parker, because that is her actual name

I was talking about music it seemed, and Drew was talking about how she could see herself listening to it. I agreed, but then realized that this entire situation made no sense, because it was a weekend. I told myself it was a dream, and braced, like I always do in my partially lucid dreams, to wake up. Not this night, oh no. I looked down at my hands - I was still here. My dream clarity suddenly became crystal, and I got up from the desk I sat at. (At this point I was completely lucid) I turned to the desks in the class, and waved my hand - blowing them out of the way (This had been a reocurring dream-activity) As the desks moved, my mind turned to leaving the classroom, and I found myself in a farm. I began to run, jumping over obstacles. As I ran, I became more and more excited, and my grip on the dream began to decrease. The last moment of the dream, I hit a fence, and was jerked out of my sleep. Surprisingly, my rousing felt quite, well, minor. As my eyes opened, it was as if the dream just peeled back - like a projection on my eyelids

Overall, the dream was incredible - I felt like god, and now sleep is very special to me. I hope to share all my experiences with this forum, and I hope you guys enjoy my experiences and my company. Cheers!

Congrats hope you have many more like that one!

You should start a Dream Journal here.

That sounds like so much fun ^^

I really should start a dream journal

When I read this, I get a feeling from you that seems to be very similar to the feelings I get in dreams. It is very hard to explain to people that never remember their dreams or never have vivid ones. The always think LDing is a waste of time because in they have never experienced a normal dream. I pity them 8(. plz pm me so we can continue this conversation. 8D

Similar for me, also. I had lucid dreams for years like that (the short ones.) In the good ones I would wake up. In the lucid nightmares I would be stuck in them, and I couldn't wake up. I didn't have powers because I didn't know it was possible.

Well done. Nothing quite beats the feeling huh? You just can't describe it to someone who hasn't had one. Welcome to Lucid Dreamland

Another problem is that most people don't want to try LDing because they have never experienced a normal dream.

Thats definitely true. I find it almost impossible to try and describe the experiences I have to anyone else who hasn't experienced it themselves. When I try, they brush it off as "but it was just a dream, so who cares". If only they really knew what they were missing.

Gratz on your Lucid though, I'm sure most here can sympathize with that feeling of excitement and enjoyment, especially upon waking up.

Well well good job on that first lucid! It sounds awesome :] Good luck for the many to come and always have faith and be grateful you have the ability to do so.

PS: Borderlands!
console or pc?

Agreed
