This was my first experience ever having a LD, not exactly cause now when I look back at it I vaguely remember similar dreams but nothing like this! and the crazy thing is I never knew about lucid dreaming, this site, or anything to do with this before today. I had the dream and the experience was so out of this world and profound to me I began researching the minute I woke up and thus have been led to this site, and I would like to hear what you guys think about it because a lot of things that happened are things I've read about on this site, but hadn't before the dream!

Alright so here it goes.... I was having many dreams throughout the night and for some reason lately I wake up quit a few times throughout the night, but fall back asleep quickly and am right onto the next dream. So I have one dream I remember pretty well where I was in my bed with my X X girlfriend and we did what you do in your bedroom. This was NOT a LD but right after that one I have another dream and this is where my journey began....

I don't know what happened at first but I remember running down the street of my friends neighborhood. I'm running down the street and BOOM I realize I am conscious! No reality checks needed (Didn't even know what those where at the time) I just realized I am in control and that it isn't reality because I was zooming around the streets and didn't feel tired or like I was running even. I felt like I was just zooming around, but when I really got excited is when I jumped in the air while running and glided much further then normally possible. So I start running around the neighborhood as fast as I can jumping in the air and out stretching my hands straining as hard as I could to fly. Another strange thing is it was very windy and I distinctly remember if I ran with the wind it was easier to fly. I never attained real flight like into the sky flight though, it was kinda like learning to ride a bicycle I knew I could do it if I just kept at it. As I'm running around the streets attempting to learn to fly I see something in the middle of the road and I see a Red truck coming down the street extremely fast. I wanted to know if I really did have total control over this dream so I ran in front of the truck grabbed whatever it was (I think something living) and held my breath scared I was about to be road kill, but as I hoped I survived! I somehow slid out of the way super fast and was standing there unharmed. I don't know if I've ever felt more ecstatic. This is when I truly knew I was in a dream and I controlled this world and nothing bad could happen to me. So I start running down the street again and want to find my x x girlfriend to repeat the joys of the previous dream as I'm running down the street I realize, Hey this is my world, I can just walk into any house and it will become her house! but its funny because I was still afraid to just walk into a random persons house just incase and plus I wanted to practice flying some more! so I run down the street trying to fly but the wind was against me at this point making it very very difficult to get off the ground, so I decide to jump onto a house. I am on the roof and I figure I'll run, jump off the roof, and fly to her house. I get a good running start(feeling just as scared of jumping off a roof in reality though!) and jump off the roof hold out my hands fists clenched trying with all my might to fly. Well as I leave the roof i fall/glide a few feet and my stomach twists in absolute fear so I close my eyes and I think I floated a little cause it took longer to hit the ground then expected but in the end my attempt to fly failed and I hit the ground and woke up the second I did.

This was a very short dream, it felt as thought it was about 10-15 minutes total, and throughout the entire dream I felt like a blackness around me like I was about to be sucked out of it and I was fighting that the whole time because I just didn't want it to end! I did a good job at it too because whenever the "blackness" started surrounding me I just pushed it away with my mind but eventually I fell and hit the ground and woke up! I enjoyed it so much I even tried to go back to bed once i awake but to no avail!

Sorry so long, just pretty excited about this amazing experience I never knew possible! Hoping for another tonight!
