Hi everyone, this is my first post here, but have been reading different messages on here for a few days. Anyway, I've allways been good at remembering my dreams in the morning, even if they are a bit twisted half the time, and when I found ths site, I though I had to give it a try.

Well last night I wasn't sleeping too well, I'd been out for a meal and a few drinks in town for a mates birthday, and was feeling quite bloated once I got home. I'd already had about 3 or 4 dreams through the night and made a note of them upon waking, then about 6am I woke up as I needed the loo, and when fell asleep after I managed my first Lucid experience.

I'm not so sure as to how the dream started out, or to be honest what triggered off me realising I was dreaming. All I remember was that I was on the roof of a building and suddenly said to myself, this is a dream. After that I sort of paniced a bit as I wasn't sure what to do. Then I realised there was a door on the roof I could go though. The problem was that once I went through the door, there was a elevator, but when I pressed the button to call the lift if didn't work. Then I started feeling as if I was going to wake up, but couldn't stop myself.

The strange thing after that was that I woke up (or so I thought), and made a note of what had just happened. Then a bit later I woke up again and realised i'd dreampt my previous waking. Is that a common experience?

Anyhow, If I manage it again tonight I'll try calming myself down a little, and hopefully make it last a bit longer.

All the best

Paul
