Date: Thursday July 21 2011, 6:22 AM My first lucid dream! I was sitting in a living room and was watching the news there was a lady talking about how the temperature was very cold this morning because of frontline winds that cooled the area. Then she talked about ongoing wild fires that struck the area. It seemed as though I lived in the Arizona area but when I was watching the news, they shown a map of the wildfires on the state of California and then shown some wildfires in the state or Illinois but it was on the left of missouri where Kansas should be. I knew immediately that this was not possible so I pinched my nose to see if I can breathe through it and after I did the reality check and knew I was dreaming. I was lucid for about three seconds. The feeling was extremely weird. As though I began melting through the bed and then I was aware of my breathing and then I can feel my heart rate accelerate. I began to feel exited and then woke up. (I think the reason why I was getting feelings of my physical body is because after I did the reality check, I told myself in the dream that this is a dream and I am lying in bed right now. I soon got an image of me lying in bed but I think I was beginning to focus on my body and I think that is the because of breath awareness and the accelerated heart rate) When I woke up I did not move at all, then I immediately went back to a dream but I think I was non-lucid this time. I am not sure. I started off on this island where there were blocked shaped sheep and I was surrounded by blocked shaped bushes. Sorta like the game Minecraft. Then the thought came from nowhere about flying So I tried my first attempt at flying and jumped in the air. That was a fail. I tried running and began to levitate and soon I was able to somewhat fly. I was not that good because it was my first try. I can remember myself falling back into this field of water not sinking through. I was flying so fast I could walk on water for a brief time so I can catch the air and begin flying again. Then after the flight I crashed landed onto this parking lot area. Where this car approached me. I stopped it and asked the driver if he was <PERSON>. He said no and I told him to get out the car. He pulled out what he said was a magic wand but it looked like it was twisted from an iron hanger. For some reason I felt evil and wanted to make mockery of him. So I begin to threaten him and told him I did not need the wand. He began to go into a defensive state and I snapped my fingers to paralyze his legs and arms while standing. (at this point I started to loose lucidity) I could not control myself and was telling him I was going to spawn my buddy to take care of the job. I remember saying it was a monkey. When I was about to call his name, my alarm clock woke me up and I was disassociated from the dream this time and had to get up. Well I can say that this was a good experience for the first time lucid dream.
