Just a few months ago I had my first dream in which I realised I was in a dream and tried to fly. It wasn't plain sailing. It was more like willing myself to soar in the air, then gently gliding downwards, then raising myself up with another exertion of willpower... Now that I think about it, it was similar to the flight mechanic in the creature stage in Spore.I miss the lucid dreams I used to have. The ones I remember most.. One was my first ever lucid dream, in which I was walking around a sunny day in northern Germany, where I used to live, surrounded by farmfields. This was the first time I decided to consciously try to fly in a dream. The sunshine hitting my skin felt so real I have never forgotten this dream.
This reminded me of my first lucid dream. I didn't know then that they were a thing, I thought I had been possessed or someone had worked something on me. I was somewhere between 7 and 10.There was also a lucid dream I had in which I remember jumping out one of those mobile infantry carrying units, along with my at the time best friend. We were in the middle of a muddy battlefield, and everyone started running in one direction. I stopped my friend and asked him what was going on, and he said: "The Germans are coming". I asked him "Who are you?" (to see what the response would be), but he didn't say anything and just took off running. All these lucid dreams happened when I was in high school or university.. I haven't really had a true lucid dream since.
I was with my grandmother in the restaurant at a tourist resort at one of our hill stations (not any specific resort). Everything was very ordinary when I had a weird and sudden realisation that my grandmother was not my grandmother, even though she looked just like her, and that I was in a dream, but I had complete control over myself. At some point my grandmother's brother walked over to us and talked with me, gesturing towards something in the distance. I still very vividly remember watching his face in fascination, because I could simultaneously see he was just like my grandmother's brother yet I could also see he was not. There was some hint of a frown, which I think tipped me off, or maybe it appeared after I realised he was fake.
Then my grandmother took me towards two doors and tried to hurry me through one of them. In the dream I thought to myself 'This happens in every dream, why don't I choose for myself?' and I turned back and asked her why not the other door? Oddly enough I could see myself when I twisted myself and turned around, a stupidly saucy look on my face that I still remember. My grandmother just looked angry, almost like she was realising she was being found out. I don't remember what happened exactly after that but then I was in a drawing room with my mother talking to another lady.
Now in the real world this was a very common situation in my childhood. My mother (or sometimes some other grownup) would take me with them to someone's house, and the grownups would chat with themselves, while I would be bored to death. I of course wouldn't be allowed to wander in the house at my will, and besides I was too shy and retiring to want to or even try to.
But in this dream I thought to myself why should I stay here when I can do what I want, so I got up and left the drawing room and went inside the house.
Now here I don't want to explicitly talk about what happened. It's rather messed up (and I was a very messed up child in that way) and it's rather embarrassing, but for purposes of understanding call it a fetish. But I knew somehow that in one of these rooms there was someone who could and would satisfy it.
So everything was going swimmingly. I found that person, they joined with me, and everything was going well, when suddenly the other person stopped, looked me straight in the eyes and said (rather sadly or reproachfully or sternly): 'You always do this', and I suddenly woke up.
I was completely creeped out as I lay in bed. I couldn't understand what had just happened. Nothing like that happened before, and the ending of it left me with a horribly unpleasant feeling. Lying in bed trying to make sense I was undecided whether it was God's punishment for my "fetish" or whether it was the devil. In fact, one of the first thoughts that came into my head when I woke up was the idea that that person was the devil. I wasn't the sort to think about stuff like that, in that way, and even now I'm rather creeped out that I woke up thinking of the devil.
