Congratulation! []

30 or 40 seconds is wonderful!  I know there are people that have longer lds, but 30 or 40 seconds is a long time to me.  My first was about 3 minutes, but since then I've not had any that last more than 1 minute.

thanks
thats actually good to know.. i thought that maybe it was really short due to it being my first and all.

im still rather confused about the flying part (where i kept going higher), it all felt some-what controlled till that point. i think i may have either been too excited or i was waking up and that was just my sub concious' way to tell me.
either way it was an awesome feeling to LD and i cant wait to do it again.

ok people, im rather happy as i just woke up from my first lucid dream since ive known what they are. the only other times ive been lucid were years ago in nightmares and id just wake myself up everytime something bad was about to happen because i didnt know i could stop it from actually happening in the dream.

Well, this is how the dream went (from just before and the lucid part anyway):

There was a bunch of my friends and some other people at a party at my friend, Dons, house (Dons Party! woop), but dons dad wanted all of us to leave for some reason unknown to me or my friends (a couple of nights ago we had a party and dons dad wasnt happy with the turn out).

Once i left i went home and was in my backyard and it was night time. There were some people in the backyard next door and i got a little curious and thought id take a look.
i was looking over the fence moving along so i could get to where i could see them while i was thinking to myself,
"I'd better stay low so they dont see me... take it slow or i might wake up... why am i being so queit?, im only dreaming. Wait a minute!! SWEET im Lucid!!!"
then it suddenly felt like everything around me was a little more under my control and i felt more free, like i broke away from a routine i was stuck in.
Then i wanted to fly, so i let go of the fence and lifted into the air. at this time i was thinking "Sweet... I cant wait to tell friends about this. hopefully this will be enough to get them starting LD and AP attempts!'
After just floating for a few seconds (not sure if i willed this to happen or not) i started lifting higher and higher into the night sky while looking down on mine and my neighbours yards and roofs.
Then my eyes started to ache and i tried squinting, cause i knew if i closed them id wake up. i had to close them slightly and i started getting flashes of my bedroom until i was awake again.

thats it. i know its not much and i was only lucid for about 30 or 40 seconds before waking up, but it was enough for me for my first time. it gave me a taste and something to aim for.

thanks for reading.
