10/5/2004 LD #1 "Cannot Ditch the Kid" 4:50 a.m. <PERSON>! I DID IT!!! My 1st intentional lucid dream!! It started as a false awakening. I woke up in my bed and I knew (without looking at the clock) that it was time to get up for work. I got up and went to the bathroom. (My bed room was on the 1st floor in my dream, but on the 2nd floor in RL.) I went into the bathroom and looked at my face in the mirror. My nose was huge and blue, and it took up my whole face. I thought, 'My nose does not look like that!!' Then I thought, 'OH MY GOD!!' And I looked at my hands. MY FIRST RC IN A DREAM, WOO HOO!! My fingers were all squiggly, just like you guys described. "I AM DREAMING!!" I yelled out loud. I walked out of the bathroom and into a hall, but it was not my hall, it was a hall parent's house. I actually remembered to rub my hands together as I walked down the hall and everything became clearer. HOLY CRAP, did things look real. As a Walked past a door on my left, <PERSON> (my girlfriend's daughter) came running out after me. I tried to ignore her and went into the kitchen. (It was not a kitchen I recognized.) I walked over to the sink and picked up a small jar that was sitting there. I felt it; it was cool and hard, it felt exactly like a real jar. I brought it up close to my face and looked at it; it was clear and reflected light, just like a real jar would. Then I threw it against the wall. It smashed brilliantly; glass flew everywhere, far more glass then should have come from a little jar. <PERSON> came running into the kitchen saying NICKIE, NICKIE!! (Her <PERSON> name for me.) I say, "<PERSON>, I am busy." I grab her and move her out of my way. I had to get away from her. She was ruining my first LD. I ran to the sliding glass doors that lead to the deck. (Just like at my parents house.) I slid the door open, turned and tried to close it to keep <PERSON> inside. She just slid open the door. So I slid the screen door closed and tried to lock it, but she managed to open that too. I ran to the gate on the deck and jumped over it figuring that she was too little to climb over it. It was about 4ft tall. I jumped up and landed on the top of it, and then jumped to the other side onto the grass. She jumped over it to. Then I said, "<PERSON>, go back in the house." She kept following me saying, "NICKIE, NICKIE, NICKIE!!" So I finally said, "Screw this!" I did a superman and flew into the air. I did not have full control of my flight. At first I only got to 12-15ft off the ground and started to drift out of control toward a tree. <PERSON> jumped into the air to follow me, and now I am starting to get REALLY annoyed with her. She is flying toward me calling, NICKIE, NICKIE!!" I thought, THIS IS MY DREAM AND I CAN FLY LIKE SUPERMAN! Then I got full control and began to fly higher and faster over housed and trees. I finally got away from <PERSON>. Then the dream started to fade and I forgot to rub my hands together. I woke up. It was 4:45 a.m. and there was no way I could go back to sleep. So I came down stairs (Did another RC incase this was a false awakening, and it was not, I am really awake.) to type this up before I forgot any of it.
