I ate some peanut butter before going to bed, which could possibly be why this lucid came up. I am not sure. I have had some fleeting lucid experiences in the past, but none like this. We had English projects due. I found that I was in a computer lab with some people I know in real life. I found out that this one person and <PERSON>, a girl I used to be interested in needed a computer, so I let the group leader ( a freckled, orange haired girl ) take my computer. In the hallway, I see <PERSON>. The halls are huge and much more grand than the ones in my school. It is like a mix between a castle and a school really, and I can imagine colourful banners running along the walls, and a flag of course. As I pass her in the hallway, a few seconds later, I suddenly realize that I am dreaming. I do not bother stabilizing the dream ... mostly because I forget to, and I am caught in the moment. I am awed by how life-like everything is. It is 'almost' exactly like it would be in real life, even though I have never been to this school before. I glance around rapidly, trying to find <PERSON>. I remember racing through the hall shouting her name, yet my voice comes out much weaker than I want it to. I spin around and close my eyes, imagining that I will appear where she is, but I do not really believe it and it does not happen. Students pass by me, but I do not really take notice of them. After realizing that I have failed in finding her, I decide to go flying. It was an amazing first experience, although it felt more like I was levitating really fast rather than flying. I get scared because of how fast / high I would went ( nearly hit the school ceiling ) and I slow down time so it feels like I am going slower, although it does not really help. I make my way to the school gymnasium. It is absolutely huge, with walls seeming hundreds of metres apart. There is this little playground-like area in the middle of everything, although it pales in size when compared to the whole room. Here, I remember to stabilize my dream. I think I was licking the floor or something, and trying to feel how real everything was. I took advantage of an empty gymnasium and decided to do some tricks. I tried to do a few twisting things, but they really did not feel 'right' so to speak. When I have enough ( only one or two tricks ) I fly out of here. I appear outside of the school, where I can see the brown brick wall. I tried to go through the school walls. The first two times I hit solid brick, but I make myself believe that I can walk through it, and I easily slip back through. Back in the gymnasium, I try to picture myself turning invisible, but no success. I do a pose like you see video game characters do before they cast a skill. I think I should choose a cool one, because I will be doing this pose a lot. Momentarily I see my arm fall under a cascade of silver, but it turns back to normal just as quickly. At the front of the school, I see two boys coming out of a car; one is young, looking no older than 11 or so. I ask him what my name is, and he replies "Your name is a list.", or something like that. It is rainy and gray outside. Soon afterwards, I lost lucidity and fell into a FA. I think I was thinking about my real body, and that led to a loss in lucidity. Nonetheless, this was an amazing first lucid.

This was early in the first sleep cycle. The dream did not start instantly, that I am aware of, but about 20-30 minutes later. It was night time. I was living in my backyard neighbors house.

Know someone this happened to?

If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
