After 4 years, first lucid dream.
I have had occasional sleep paralysis, and times where I have said "This is a dream", but I would instantly wake up.
Two weeks ago I had my first "lucid" dream. I was staying the night at my parents house and all of a sudden "woke up" in my apartment bedroom. I instantly realized I was dreaming and tried to continue the dream. I start to feel numb and fell in to sleep paralysis where I then felt like my mind and body were being sucked into a black hole. This black hole was basically sleep and I lost lucidity.
Last night I finally had my first lucid dream that I could control. I was walking out of a building and saw a peacock riding a tricycle. That triggered I was dreaming, and I instantly realized I had a peacock tail. I decided to jump in the air, when I realized the tail allowed me to jump extremely high and glide slowly back down. I jumped around several times completely lucid and watched the peacock ride the bike around the block until I lost lucidity.
I'm so excited to really start seeing what this feels like. I only hope this will continue, and that I can attain lucidity for longer periods of time.
