Thread: JUST had my first *REAL* Lucid Dream

So I woke up about 5 minutes ago. I had to boot up my laptop and share this with you all!

----------

I was walking around my old college with my current girlfriend - it was as if I was giving her a tour of the campus, showing her where I used to hang out, etc. It was quite overcast, cloudy, and cold. Which is should be. It was always cold in October at my college. The odd thing was I already did this with her this past summer, and I wasn't sure why we were doing this again.

There were people on campus bowling at the rec center, just walking around, being themselves. There was a preview on a large TV screen for a new George Clooney outer space movie, as well as posters for industrial music everywhere. Another strange thing was, in my dream, it was October 6th. I remember this clearly - today is October 10th. So in my dream the date was close to the real current date.

I remember thinking of how we would have to drive home soon, which would take about 4 hours. It's a 4 hour trip. Then I began thinking... "I don't remember driving up here."

To get more to the topic of lucidity... we were walking up a staircase to where the football field would be (my college was in upstate New York and really mountainous). As we turned a corner, I saw some epic tornadoes in the distance. They were a little terrifying, as there were so many of them across the landscape. About 7 or 8 I believe, but some of them were quite large and intense. It was a bit scary to be honest. My girlfriend tells me, "Yeah, there's lots of tornadoes up here this time of year."

I'm thinking this is totally not true - so I start looking around, as if I am 'spinning' in place... I start to realize we are not in upstate New York, but in a flatter Kansas type area, although it is still cloudy. I start to realize something is not right.

I grab my girlfriend by the shoulders and I shout, "Holy Shit we are dreaming!" and she is all excited like "No way!"

I start to lose my fear of the tornadoes but they don't go away... but I do see a train passing in the distance. I figure since this is a dream I can run and catch the train, escaping the tornadoes.

I grab my girlfriends hand and we run really fast... but we can't seem to catch the train. I try harder, I grab onto small trees and catapult myself off of them like a ninja, hurling myself forwards. Nothing seems to hurt or bother me, I run over water, grab onto the moving train, flip around it, etc, until I am 'safely' on top of it. My girlfriend does the same, and we are on the train together.

We are sitting there on the train, looking at all the tornadoes... I try to focus more on the dream... but I start to loose lucidly and I wake up...

And here I am posting about it.

The past 3 weeks I have cut back on booze, I have began drinking more tea, eating more salads and vegetables, running for exercise, and taking Ginko Biloba and St. Johns Wort all in an effort to Lucid Dream. I think it is finally paying off.

Awesome! Congratulations! Nice job catching the train. :-)

wow thats awesome, the feeling of your first lucid dream is amazing, isnt it?

wow, that's REALLY cool! I haven't had my first lucid dream yet, but trying hard. I've been Hypnogogic, but i didn't like it much. looking forward to lucidity! By the way i know exactly what you mean by the ninja flipping and catapaulting, that shit's what dreams are about!

yes metalica its totally thats what dreams are about, keep working at it its worth it!
