Lucid Backpacking

Date: 11/4/2016

My first lucid dream happened a few nights ago. I was backpacking through a valley alone, then the grass and the rocks turning into ambient colors. Prior to the dream I had been doing a lot of reading about lucid dreaming and something about this triggered me. I realized I was in a dream and planted my hand on the ground as I had been advised to stabilize consciousness. For what felt like three hours I climbed a mountain, making sure not to test my reality too much, but I do remember "power jumping" and throwing boulders to the tops of mountains (it always makes me think when I see them up there). Later in the night I was in a cave and was offered some pills by a figure, I accepted and began to fall backwards like I often did in dreams as a kid, as I hit the ground, I woke up. I realized that I must have slipped back into the unconscious dream at some point.
