Last night I had my first lucid dream. I just joined this site today (oct 13th) and have never attempted to have a lucid dream before. I was not even aware of what a lucid dream was untill I looked it up online today. I have never kept a dream journal or done anything to try an induce lucid dreams.
While dreaming last night, I looked into a mirror at my reflection. My face was clean shaven but in waking life I have a full beard. I turned from my reflection to speak with a friend. When I turned back to the mirror I now saw myself with a mustash and immediately noticed the sudden difference. I turned again to my friend and said look at my face, isnt it strange. I turned back to my reflection and now in addition to my new mustash I also had these intense side burns. I turned again to my friend looking for an answer, I didn't understand how this was happening. I turned again to my reflection and this time the hair of my face was growing so fast that I could actually see it happening. It was then that I realized that somthing wasn't right, that this wasn't possible. That's when it fully hit me. I was dreaming, and aware that I was dreaming. I said out loud at that point.."This is a d.d..d..d..dream". It was very hard for me to get the word dream out. I remember studdering while trying to say it. The feeling I was experiencing at that point was intense. It's hard for me to describe but I can say that I felt a surge of energy shooting down my spine, like when you get startled but without the fear. I grabbed ahold of the hand of my friend who was next to me and ran down the hall. I was still aware, fully aware, that I was dreaming. I was thinking that anything was possible. actually I had very little controll outside of my awareness. The consious awareness that I was dreaming left me around that time. It was a short lived experience but a fascinating one. I want to do it again. I want to learn how to make it happen. This is the most amazing discovery of my life. I am still baffled.
