Its currently 2.30am here and usually I would still be sleeping at the moment but my FIRST LD (YAY!! ) has made me want to get on these forums just to post what I just experienced and because if I go back to bed, i’ll probably forget it all.
Just to let you know, last night I went out with a few friends to a local club and I’d had 4 drinks so I had a feeling that the alcohol might just have that good old effect of making my dreams rather vivid. Which it did.
It started out as a ND and I remember being outside somewhere when all of the sudden I realised I was dreaming. When I read about people’s LDs and they say that they suddenly realised they were dreaming, I never really understood how you could just simply realise without seeing a DS or something. But now I know because it’s exactly what happened to me, one second I was in a ND and the next thing I remember is me saying to myself “OMG, I’m Dreaming!” and this wave of energy rushed throughout my body and I was aware of my surroundings.
The LD is abit of a blurr for me (probably because it’s my first one) but I’ll mention the things I still remember. The first thing I remember trying when I realised I was lucid was of course, flying. It was such a rush, simply jumping off the ground made me float in the air and then using “energy” to propel me up, into the sky. I was jumping from rooftop to rooftop then flying up into some mountains and it was the most realistic feeling I’ve ever had in a dream before. After flying around for abit I remember flying directly towards the ground and I started to go through the ground. I decide to turn back around and fly upwards again but when I do is when things start to get weird.
I was flying directly upwards out of the ground yet I couldn’t seem to fly out of the ground. As I continued to fly upwards the dream started to fade and everything suddenly went black. After about a minute of this blackness I somehow remembered that I could create a new dream scene and it’s exactly what I did. It was the weirdest feeling ever, as I was thinking really hard about a new dream scene I started to see colours appear and then BAM, this whole new scene created itself around me and I got the rush feeling in my body again. I remember being inside a house at one point and I walked through the wall to go outside and it was dark outside, so I decided to see if I could change that. I went inside again and thought really hard about making it daytime outside as I walked through the wall. It took me two attempts of this before it actually became sunny outside and the blue sky looked so magnificent.
I remember exactly when the lucidity started to fade, but it faded into a ND in the weirdest way. I was on the side of a road with my brother and dad and I was telling them how lucid I was when they both started talking to me as if I was a couple of metres away in a different body. I was also doing really weird things according to them but I couldn’t see this ‘body’ of myself that they were talking to. My lucidity was pretty much gone after abit of this confusing different body stuff with my bro and dad and I slipped back into an extremely vivid ND.
I’ve spent atleast the last 3-4 months reading about Lucid dreaming, Astral Projection, OOBEs etc, and only now have I had such a profound experience. The feeling of becoming lucid in a dream is such a wicked feeling, one that you have to experience to understand. It’s just so sudden too, one second your in the front row viewing your dream like a movie, then in an instant you “become” the movie. Overall my lucidity during the dream was quite high considering this was my first time and I stayed lucid for quite awhile, just sucks that I can’t remember it all
Anyway, back to bed and hopefully more LD’s!
