Thread: The first thing you did in your first LD?

Get out of my bed and doubted if it was a dream, and it waS. After discovering it was a dream, I woke uP

I actually remembered it was jessica albas bday and i tried to call her..... sucks that the phone didnt work

well in my first LD i didnt know that was LD i though its just a dream so i wast just excited that i can control my self . so i was just looking around .

The first thing I did was flying. It's without a doubt my favourite lucid dream.

Ran out the door and flew! It was amazing!
But... Ever since then, I can't fly at all...

The first thing I did was calm down. The second thing was I tried to make a car speed up and slam on its breaks.

Well, i was in the middle of a fight somwhere in china when i suddenly shouted out: OMG im in a lucid dream! the second though came afully fast actually.. I started to try stuff out but since i was stressed from the fight.. i forgot that i was dreaming X_X i tried to make the man in front of me t a blue geometric figure or somthing haha xd

My FIRST LD was very low-level awareness, so I just made a boat coem through a plaza and made the world smell like cherries. on my first one with real awareness, I just ran around wildly becasue i was excited.

Haven't achieved any intentional LD's yet as I've only begun.
But can recall two childhood instances.

Dream 1:
Was 6 or 7 at the time when the first Toy Story came out, for some reason I dreamt that the TRex was very menacing and had a sort of sinister, evil grin on it's face and that it was always in these dark corners where I was walking around my house at night making direct eye contact with me from the shadows (Most of my most terrifying dreams involves some terrifying demon, witch, etc which is looking at me but never really chases me, much like the grudge where you're too petrified to move), never really saw it chase me but its presence was foreboding especially when it felt like it was closeby. I think it looked less toonlike as well.
But suddenly for some reason I realised it was a dream and when I stopped feeling afraid and deliberately thought "why am I afraid of this guy?", it became friendly and stopped the eye contact and somehow I turned night into day.

Strange considering I'd seen Jurassic Park, Mortal Kombat etc and had no probs.

Dream 2: (Also 6 or 7yrs)
Was playing on a field that was across from my street and noticed that when I tried to jump of things like a swing or something which I usually did when awake I could kind of float. I remember conciously deciding to walk back to my house, up the stairs, to the second story balcony with the knowledge I could control what I wanted to do and dived of the balcony and floated across the street and about fifty metres across the field where I comfortably landed.
Went to run back and try it again but by then must have lost lucidity as I could only float to the ground below without the momentum and Euphoria I felt earlier.

Both were lucid in the sense that the dreamscape was in my control at least for a while.

Flew to space!

That was so long ago...

From what I remember as a child, I didn't really do anything, but go along with the nightmare, being scared, my mom closing my eyes, as I could still see the horrible zombies and ghosts crawling from under the ground. I think I was crying?
But the first one I've had (WILD) since I started recording my dreams on a daily basis, I was in a game, like the sims, so I was playing around with the landscape, added some water in a hole, and dove in it to find myself in a store

I was pretty amazed at where I was for a while and how real it looked. Then I jumped up, and did a backflip. I noticed two guys standing behind a car, a fat one and a smaller thinner one. They were watching me and saying I was no good lucid dreamer. So I made one of them levitate. Dream ended.

Sadly at the time like any noob would i flew awkwardly.

I tried to fly away from pumpkin-head zombies, failed big time, rushed into a portal, said a cool line to my grandfather who was angry at me and lastly, tried to summon someone, failed so decided to create the body myself. I only got to the legs and then woke up.

Good Luck!

Ran. Away from the nightmarish part of my subconscious that was chasing me.

The first thing I did in my first lucid, besides RCing and stuff, was jump up to the balcony with like a moon jump and then I flew down the hall of my school and ended up inside my house.

Hahaa this is interesting, just realised that I had a lucid dream when i was a young'un, it had always stuck in my memory, and it was always my most favourite dream ever, but even after discovering lucid dreaming I hadn't clocked. Hah, well I was about 6-8 years old, and I was sitting in my room by the window and looking outside. Don't remember how but I knew I was dreaming, FULLY and I was so excited, so I thought, what is the one thing I would want to do that I can't in reality.. Hands down... be spiderman, swing webs from tree to tree building to building. Jumped out of my window into the gardens, and then started swinging from tree to tree, at one point there wasn't anything around i must've attached to some air particles or something. Anyway got as far as a small town, where the dream dissipated and faded to black. Best dream EVER so far.

My first induced LD, was about 1 and a half weeks ago. I swore in my dream at home, while talking to my mum and it occured to me.. wait.. I NEVER swear at home, lol. SO I said, 'I'm dreaming..' and then my mum said 'Yes! Well done' and went off to do something. I immediately went to my back door and tried to get it open, amazed at how real it all was. Opened the door, saw the night sky, and how it looked EXACTLY like my garden in real life. I went out into the garden, then decided i would fly. I crouched down and then blasted off into the sky, quite surprising how fast it was, I was nearly above the clouds, definitely in them, then I felt absolute exhiliration as i was free-falling to the ground, like a skydiver, felt soooooooo real, I was like, 'woooooo', then wondered how I would stop. Thought, its a dream, i can do what i awnt, then just before i hit the floor i froze in mid air, then casually planted my feet on the ground. Then it dissipated... because free-falling from the sky isn't the best thing to do for dream stabilisation..

Amazing

Vault over a handrail and run up a small wall, Mirror's Edge style.

I jumped to try to rocket through my roof, it didn't work, then I crouched down and put my hands on the floor, and started spinning to stabilize the dream, I teleported and lost lucidity -.-

Became lucid shortly after flying.. didn't do a traditional RC instead I told my uncle(DC) to turn purple.. he did and I got exited and woke up.. I'm still excited.

I was in a hospital-like building and explored the interior (most of my lucids are passive like this one - exploring the place/dreamscape)... I also met my other friends there and said them that they are just dream characters. Later I found an elevator in the building (it looked like a spiral staircase O_o)... Everything looked very weird - and clear, life-like.

Unfortunately, I've lost all of my dream journal entries from when I first got into LD about a year ago, so I don't fully remember the dream.

However, I remember the first thing I did was look at my hands to increase detail.

Boring, yes, but it worked.

LD

I woke up.
