My First Lucid Dream

Date: 7/2/2016

I had this dream when I was four, but I still remember it plain as day. I was at my private school, sitting in a classroom. I can't remember how the class was set up, but I assume it must have been like the classic highschool desks all pointed to the front, which would have been strange to me IRL because well, I was only in preschool and had only seen classrooms like this in movies. Anyway, everyone who was in the classroom suddenly became an alien, yes, the cliche, green-skinned alien. Scared, I jumped out the window that led outside. I ended up in front of my house immediately, which was especially strange because my house was at least 15 minutes away from my school. So I looked to my family for comfort because I was a scared four year old, and surprise, surprise my family was a bunch of aliens as well. Then, as they started crowding me, I realized it was a dream. I remembered from a movie that to get out of a dream you could blink your eyes really hard three times, so I tried doing that. I had blinked 5 times and was getting increasingly terrified until I finally woke up after the 6th time.
