Hello everyone! I am new here. I decided to begin posting my dreams after I had my first lucid dream that I have had in a year or two. I think this may have been triggered by the fact that my friends and I were talking about it and my friend suggested that I preform frequent reality checks.

The dream started out non-lucid. I was in a dimly lit room sitting in a chair facing an old man and an empty wooden kitchen chair. The man had a box of old vinyl records and I got up to take a look at them. I asked if I could sit in the kitchen chair and he said something along the lines of, "no, I like to keep that chair open for my wife."

I asked him, "where is your wife?" He pointed to my right and I looked. A wave of panic and fear spread over me as I saw a semi rotted-out corpse hanging by a noose. The scene quickly became more nightmarish and I frantically tried to wake myself up.

This is where the dream became lucid. It had seemed that my efforts to wake myself up had worked as I could now see my ceiling. However something was not quite right: instead of laying flat on my bed, I was diagonal to my bed and my legs were actually going through the mattress. With lucid dreaming in mind, I flew up through the ceiling into another room.

This was the same room that I was in with the old man but now, the room was filled with clones of my high school spanish teacher. I began thinking about all the crazy stuff I was going to do in my lucid dream. I believe the environment was about to change when my cat jumped up on my chest and woke me up! As you can imagine I was pretty bummed.

That dream was two nights ago and I tried to replicate it again yesterday to no avail. I intend to try again tonight. Hopefully I will have more entertaining lucid dream stories for you soon. I have been keeping a dream journal for a while now and I might start posting those.
