my first lucid dream!

Date: 11/9/2016

I've always dreamed deeply and often become aware I'm in a dream, but it wasn't until I started studying lucid dreams that I started to actively try and alter them. Thanks to a combination of red wine, xanax and grief I was able to fall into one this morning after my husband went to work. The details are fuzzy, but something alerted me that I was in a dream so I did a check. Sure enough, my hand was putty so I immediately tried to fly. The second I lifted off the ground it was euphoric! I got giddy and yelled, "I'm lucid!!" And somehow didn't wake myself up. I flew all over the house I was in to the backyard, which was a wide open mountainous space. Absolutely gorgeous. In the front there was a beach. Sometimes my eyesight would get blurry and I was afraid to open my eyes, but when I did I was still in a dream. Even though I can't remember the details of what happened, I remember controlling my flight and that's pretty cool.
