This morning, I got up at 6am for no apparent reason, had breakfast, and went back to bed. This was when I experienced my first real lucid dream. In my dream, I was bothered by the fact that certain events were not logical, and came to the realization that I was, in fact, dreaming. Of course this has happened before, but this time I remember from what RJ and I read on wikipedia that you can actually control your lucid dreams. So I concentrated on staying in the dream, while repeating a chant "this is a dream" over and over so my subconscious would not take over. My awareness made every detail in the dream crystal clear; it felt SO real. I then will myself to fly. It took a lot of concentration and struggling, but then I was suddenly airborne. It was simply exhilarating! I remember laughing in awe. :)
