My first lucid dream seemed like a good occasion to start my dream journal here.

I didn't expect last night to be the night I'd finally go lucid. My dream recall (and sleep habits in general) have been pretty bad the last couple days.

I don't remember much of what happened before I was lucid, I just remember that I stepped out of my house and into my driveway. That was when I looked down at my hands and saw that I had thumbs and forefingers, but my other three fingers on each hand were missing. I knew immediately that I was dreaming, and heard "Oh my god, I'm in a dream" as if I had screamed it. The dream almost collapsed at that point. There was a loud roar in my ears and I felt as if I were sinking into the ground. To stabilize it, I closed my eyes and spun in a circle while rubbing my hands together. When I opened my eyes again, I was still in my driveway, but everything had settled down again.
I walked into my backyard, looking for something to do now that I knew I was dreaming. I found a rock the size of my fist sitting beside a fence, and I lifted it without my hands, in a way that felt like telekinesis(as I imagine it at least). The rock fell back to the ground and I lifted a smaller one in the same way, and flung it over the fence. I turned around and saw the wooden 2x4s that border the patio stones in my back yard. Again without using my hands, I hoisted one up out of the earth, and dropped it back down. I was going to try to lift my truck in the same way, but since the truck was about as big as an elephant when I turned around and looked at it, I decided not to push my luck.
Trying to decide what else to do, I ran out to the front of my house and started running as fast as I could down the street. I decided I was going to fly. Still running, I leapt into the air... and promptly fell flat on my face on the pavement. Apparently, I'm not ready for flying yet, haha.
I got back to my feet, and started touching the leaves of a nearby tree with my hands. I turned every leaf that I touched shriveled and brown. This entertained me for quite some time, until I woke up. I didn't notice the dream collapsing. I just opened my eyes, and I was in my bed.

I'm pretty impressed with my first experience with lucidity. I can't wait to get to the really fun shit.
