Last night was my first LD. I was only lucid for a short period of time but it felt good to finally be lucid.
I was in an unfamiliar kitchen with my parents and many of their friends sitting near a counter. I was drinking wine and chatting with the guests when I looked down at my hands and saw how abnormal they looked. They were swollen and my fingers looked like cones with fat basses and skinny tips. I instantly knew i was dreaming and naturally became very excited. I stood up and ignored everyone talking to me, simply laughing at the fact that they were all fake. I walked out of the kitchen and found myself in the sideyard of this unfamiliar house.
There was a door further down and felt compelled to walk through it. I did so and lost all control of myself in the dream but the experience was still quite interesting. This door was a portal to the house i grew up in which is thousands of miles from where i currently live. I had not seen the house for many years and it was doing so felt very refreshing.
I found myself in my bathroom and walked into my old room. I wasn't making these decisions myself, I simply went with the flow (semi-lucid). All of the furniture was there just as it was when I was boy but a new family lived in the house, they did not seem to notice my presence. I walked through the house and saw clearly the old cabinet I used to sneak alcohol from. I continued my tour of the house and saw bottles of wine everywhere from the current family. Eventually I returned to the bathroom where I had entered the house and found that the portal was gone and I couldn't go back, but felt little urge to even do so. This is where I woke up.
While I was lucid I did not feel the desire to try to fly into the air or surf a giant wave as I though I would, and did not go to my childhood home on purpose. However, one of my goals of lucid dreaming is to go back to the places I grew up so I guess my subconscious took me there. I do not know why there was so much alcohol in this dream; I have never been much of a drinker. All in all, I am happy that I was lucid however brief the lucidity may have been.
