LD:
I was in a bathroom and I was wearing a hat looking in the mirror. I took off the hat and there was a huge bald patch on the top of my head from where my hair was falling out. As I started to get scared/upset about losing my hair... i thought to myself, wait this is weird, and I asked myself "is this a dream?" So I remembered what I learned on this website just a couple nights ago, and I told myself to do a reality check and look for other things out-of-place. So I started to look for clues. Almost immediately I saw in the mirror a reflection of an old lady, dark brown dry hair, medium to long length, She was hunched over, I couldn't see her face but i could see that her hair was falling out all over her back. I saw this and immediately thought that since that wasn't my reflection in the mirror, I must be dreaming! I think I stood there for a few seconds thinking that I am dreaming, and I think I said out loud, "this is a dream." No one was in the bathroom with me, and I didn't waste much time in there. The bathroom was unfamiliar but it had one 2x2 square yellow stained window at the end. It might have been cracked and for some reason I thought that I should fly out the bathroom, so I flew through the window, it must have broke or something but I didn't feel anything and I started flying up towards the sky... I noticed that I had one arm up with my hand in a fist, and I thought about the book i'm reading and how it mentioned different ways of flying, and I realized that I was doing the superman fly. There was a blurred city scape in the background that I didn't pay much attention to. Instead I was wondering to myself why I wanted to fly, and where I was going to go, and I think I started to get scared about going to far and not knowing how to land... so I got all about 15-20 feet high, and then that was it. That's all i remember about that dream.

Can I classify that as a lucid dream? My first lucid dream and for some reason i decide to fly out of the bathroom and into the sky, without really thinking about it, without allowing myself more than a few seconds in the dream to actually process the notion that I was in the dream...and then it went by so fast.. I was probably only lucid for like 15-30 seconds in "dream time." It was weird. I'm so excited that I realized it was a dream thanks to the reality check information I read on this site!

I also remember a non-lucid dream:

I was with Carl and we were in a living room.. i dont' think it was our living room.. and his ex-wife was there, and she was angry at him for being with me. She was a little chubby too. And Carl, made it a point to put his arm around me and hold hands with me in front of her. It made her so mad.. We were standing at one point, and then sitting on the floor.

That's all I remember about that dream. It's weird, usually Carl's always gone in my dream. He usually doesn't want to be with me, is with another woman, is missing or lost, left me, or dumped me. And for his ex-wife to be there, and for him to be wanting me instead of his ex-wife... what a trip!

Anyways, cheers to my first lucid dream..i think.
