Hey, I'll start by saying I'm a new user (woop) and that I am 16 years old. I don't know if there has been/if it's helpful for any studies or personal curiosities.

About 1 year ago I came across the topic of lucid dreaming and somewhat waived it off as I thought it was all very trippy and unbelievable, and understandably so I think .

Well, last night this opinion was shattered as I had my first true lucid dreaming experience, though I think a few months ago I did slip into a lucid state for around 30 seconds but thought it was merely a vivid dream. I had been asleep since 6pm until 12pm prior to the following lucid dreams.

There seemed to be no trigger for it, the first dream I could feel a strange tingling in my chest (perhaps racing heart rate?) However, a strange image that reminded me of an album cover or even a video game loading screen focused my attention and prevented me from waking.

I was then thrown full on into the dream and was lying on the floor at what seemed to be a house party and for what seemed like a minute I couldn't move my body. During this time people I know, my friends, kept looking over my body, talking, and my surroundings were changing at regular intervals uncontrollably. It was at the point when the surroundings finally set on a laminate floor in the house I realised it wasn't a normal dream. After a small struggle I managed to control my body and get to my feet alone in the house, when I looked up I could see a white door which I walked over to, opened, then the tingling feeling in my chest came back and woke me up.

Thanks to my previous knowledge of lucid dreams I realised what had just happened and did not allow myself to move too much nor open my eyes. A while later I slipped into the second lucid dream.

This time my surroundings were fixed instantaneously pertaining to an American football field and I knew I had a lot more control this time. I was behind a desk of sorts and could see a female walking across the field, at this point I remembered reading about what people tend to do when in a lucid state - becoming a Superhero/flying being the memory I manged to tap into. I attempted to fly and surprisingly it worked, only the whole desk moved with me too which is not what I intended, also it was more of a levitation than flying. Nevertheless I reached my target which was the female, the very female I had hoped it was. She approached the desk and looked as though she was going to walk right past but I wanted her to stop, and she did. I tried to touch her but I was stuck in a sitting position behind the desk, not allowing myself to get frustrated (it was more a light disheartening) I managed to move and interact, trying something of a more... Sexual nature this time and before I got anywhere I woke again with the racing heart and an erection.

I then allowed myself to wake a bit more and reflect upon what had happened in the last hour and was extremely overwhelmed, the experience is so unimaginable, so other-worldly it is extremely difficult to comprehend and because of that, was one of the best experiences of my life, brief as it was.



I understand this is a long post and if you've read this far without getting too bored well done . It's just that the whole experience came out of nowhere and I'd be grateful to receive any feedback, especially if anyone believes I have the capabilities to induce this state, from the brief reading I have done on this topic I believe it's rare to pull off flying (or levitating in my case) first time? Could be wrong. Anyway, thanks for your time
