Thread: zomg, a lucid dream! (sharing my experience) XD

So before bed I listened to about 18 minutes of Lucid Dream Idoser but I don't think that did anything. Woke up at 3 am for some reason and went to the bathroom and back and thought 'WBTB.. hmm'. As I went back to bed I had the intention of doing WILD on my mind but lacked energy to pay so much attention and such. Anyway, so,

I woke up in bed and it was quite dark. I pinched my nose and breathed though it and was really shocked - I could breath right through it. 'No way' I thought. I tried again and was postively lucid dreaming 'Hahaha! I'm dreaming!' I got excited and the dream faded to black.

I woke up in my bed again and RC'd and became lucid. I stood at the end of my bed a flapped my arms for a bit trying to fly and I floated for a bit, then drifted back down (as exspected after reading this forum). I've always been worried about starting a lucid in my apartment incase I walk out into my house and my parents really come out and say 'what the hell, its 3am!', but as if the RC and flying wasn't enough I was still quiet and careful approaching the front door to our house. In the hallway, someone had replaced the elevator with a fridge. I was really shy and still thought 'No rly! What if this is not a dream' (god I'm so slow!). At any point in my dream I didn't think about stablising my dream by rubbing my hands or anything and I kept good lucidity throughout. Anyway, a bunch of stuff happened but heres a few things which I would like to highlight.

The flying - So I did this as I had read on the forum, some people flap their arms, but drift back down, right? Is it common to float back down? And next time I will need a magic ring ay?

My hands - I try to make a habit of RCing but pincing my nose, questioning my enviroment and 'Am I dreaming', and looking at my hands. I remembered how people said on the forum that your hands can look strange in dreams. I raised my hands up and there were many doubles all quite close together - like motion blur or something. Is this what others see too? What do YOU see when you look at your hands in LDs?

Summoning - hahahaha I thought, 'What the hey, its a LD, I need to test some abilities' The first person who came to mind was Jonas Bjerre so I threw my arms infront of me with him in mind but all I thought of was an image of him in the back of my mind. I didn't check behind me but he was not infront me. Should I have checked around?

Every so often lucid? - I think some parts where not lucid, cause in one part I had teleported some random spot and was walking through a rollerskating rink with a random boy from school, just holding his hand. I wasn't thinking of letting go of his hand or questioning him about it but this isn't someone I would normally hold hands with. Do you think this part could have been non lucid? Cause a few moments after that I knew I was lucid cause I was sitting at a table with some sound engineers and said 'hey, you know, your just a part of my dream?' so I knew I was dreaming but it was like, upon waking up and reflecting on holding that boys hand, I wondered why I didn't stop holding his hand or be all confused about it..

ALSO, when I woke up, I had a headache, all over my head! I never get headaches but I read on the forum somewhere about getting headaches and I got one. Is there a reason for this or is it just random.
Thanks for reading!
