The dream was first day back at my school (it’s school holidays here at the moment) and I was talking to my school mates and stuff, pretty much just doing what I’d normally do.
But the layout of the school was kind of off. I was walking up some stairs that IRL have only 2 flights, but in my dream there were half a dozen or so. When I reached the top I thought ‘Hmmmm, that’s not right… I’m dreaming!’, and immediately woke up… Or so I thought.
So I get up, walk to my desk and pick up my watch to check the time. Except the watch is different and isn’t my watch, my watch is on my wrist - then my brother slams his door and wakes me up for real.
Anyway, I’ve only been at this a week and I’ve been making great progress. I now remember at least 1 dream vividly per night and I’ve already had my first lucid dream when I wasn’t trying.
Congratulations on your first LD Lawnmower!!
Next time you should try some prolonging techniques, like spinning or rubbing your hands together.
Shame it didn’t last long enough for you to experiment a little more.
Ok, I had a dream where I was walking through the mall and I suddenly realised I was dreaming. I don’t know what gave it away, if anything. Anyway, the dream instantly faded. I just pictured myself walking through the mall like I just had been and I was back! Unfortunetely I closed my eyes and then couldn’t see anything, but I could still feel.
After awhile I woke up, but I noticed that my bookcase was supersized and blocking my door. ‘Hmmm, that’s not right. Maybe I’m dreaming’. When I got up, the book case shrunk back to what it should be and I thought ‘Oh, I’m not dreaming’ and went back to dream-bed. I had a couple more FAs that I failed to recognise and then finally woke up for real.
I know I haven’t been lucid for more than a few moments but it’s still pretty damn cool.
