I had my first lucid dream last night. The thing is I just started trying to make myself become lucid yesterday afternoon, so I didn’t expect results this fast. It started out as a normal dream, and all of a sudden my mind activated and I was like “I’m dreaming?” everything in the old dream stopped and everything was dark. The excitement almost woke me up, and I could feel myself falling out of the dream, so I calmed down and believed and I had the most peaceful euphoric feeling. I’ve never done drugs, so the closest thing I can compare it to is morphine before surgery. The second I realized that I was conscious and awake to my dream, I thought to myself “start thinking of cool things!” and immediately images came to me. It was like watching a movie and all of the images came and went so fast they were almost subliminal. The only one of these images I can remember is the power outage. I’ve had a lifelong fear of power outages. The image went by too fast to see anything, but I heard the noise and it scared me. I thought that the fear would wake me up so I started trying hard to think of something else. A boat appeared on an ocean, and again it was like watching a movie. There was a man on the boat, and a helicopter/plane flying over. I thought “change something” because I really wanted to materialize something. I imagined a gun, and the man pulled a gun from somewhere I couldn’t see (I was behind the man and couldn’t move). He pointed the gun up and fired a shot at the helicopter above us. When he did that, my mind instantly thought "aren’t I supposed to be seeing this from a 1st person perspective? The world disappeared and the brain that mine is imagined an FPS (first person shooter game) like appearance for my view. I had a gun on the right bottom corner of my view and couldn’t move it from that possition. I remember there being monsters and faintly remember fighting them and talking to someone I don’t remember. I don’t remember the conversation either. I then felt myself falling out of the dream, and had another single subliminal message. This time it was me having a false awakening, but I just opened my eyes and thought “I’m awake”, then everything flashed and I really did open my eyes. I felt my hands to see if I was really awake and I looked at my phone. I had woken up at 4:33 AM. 33 is also the number I wear in football, so that was strange to me. I watched the clock on my phone just to be sure, and When it changed I knew I was awake. I felt disappointed about my first lucid dream. It felt like my brain was rushing through things before I ever got a chance to finish the thought. I felt like I had little to no control over what was happening. Would this be semi-lucid or fully lucid? My goal is to be in a large field, and fly around. How can I achieve this and what did I do wrong in my dream last night? Also, any interpretations?
Thanks,
Sam
Congratulations! This was definitely fully lucid.
Damn that’s pretty good for your first LD. You can try and change the scene into a field, try expecting it when you turn around (When you changed the scene from those flashes of pictures to a dock was actually pretty good, most people would have to practice it). Also changing your view to a FPS was pretty good, I would feel proud, you had some good dream control.
As far as interpretation… I’m not sure about that, not really my thing 
. One thing though, you might want to break you post apart, like into diffrent sections so it doesn’t look like a huge wall
