My first two lucid dreams were rather vague and did not really last particularly long (the 2nd lasting less than 5 seconds). However the 3rd seemed to the most vivid and interesting. It was also my first successful attempt at a MILD. LUCID I am standing in my room at home when i suddenly become lucid and immediately forget what previously had occurred in the dream, however this did not bother me. I had gone to bed repeating to myself that i was going to RC, and it worked! My usual RC is to look at my hands and count my fingers. 6 as per usual when i am dreaming (even though i know instantly that its a dream, i still have to slowly count each one to make sure). My heart began to race at it previously had done in other LDs and i try to calm it by taking deep breathes and focusing on a wooden table in the corner of the room. I look at the grains the surface and follow each line. They seem to be so vibrant in contrast to the dull wood. However this seems to have no effect and my heart races even faster. My mind drifts and i collapse on the floor into bed (I sleep on a fold out bed). My eyes close and i sit there motionless for about 3 seconds. I was certain that when i opened my eyes that i would be awake, however i was not. I was lying in my bed at home in my room, yet things seemed different. I RC again to make sure i was still dreaming. Yup, 6 fingers on my left hand. I felt a lot calmer this time, almost euphoric and light headed. I walked over to my window and open the blinds. As i opened them, i had hoped to see something magical, but nope... just the park that my house backs onto. There were huge pot holes and gaps in the hedge fences, however i seem to just accept them and say that was how the park always was (even when i am lucid I managed to stupidly accept something is T_T haha). I hear voices in the hallway. One is my old man, the other i was not sure of. I remember looking back out the window and saying to myself "This feels so real, it looks insane!". I had never been in such a real feeling dream before. I look in the mirror and see myself with hair very similar to that of <PERSON>. Again, i seem to just accept this as truth, even though i am dreaming. I walk up to the large mirror in my room and look into it intently. I decided that i want to push my way through it. I push it with both my fingers and begin to see the glass bend slightly. Suddenly i feel myself getting pulled in. My head gets sucked in and then suddenly the rest of my body. The whole experience felt extremely weird. As i come out of the other side i fall onto the floor in my hallway (just down from where the mirror was), however this time the dream had a strange blue filter over my eyes. Everything had looked very orange/brown in the previous room, so the change in colour was rather noticeable. I awake from the dream in my student bed (almost 2,000 miles away from home) and everything becomes clear as to what happened. It is strange that even though i knew i was in a dream, i still did not pick up on some of the dream signs. I guess i need to work on my ADA.
