My First Lucid Dream
This is an account of my first lucid dream.
I’m four years old.
It is interesting to note that I remember this dream with more clarity than, ‘awake,’ experiences of the time.
The dream took place at nursery school. We had all been playing in a large classroom. The school teacher tells us that it’s time for a nap. We all get a matt from a shelf in the room. We did this every day. We would drink milk, eat lunch, play and then sleep. I remember that when the other children slept, I would usually stay awake. I would take books from the shelf and look at the pictures inside.
For some reason, on this day I lay down and went to sleep.
I start to dream…
I am aware that the other children are all asleep.
I am awake, yet asleep.
In my dream state I get up. The teacher is asleep in her chair.
I quickly busy myself with waking all the children, some continue to sleep, but most of them wake up.
I run to the wall to my right.
I ask the other children to help me push the wall.
We all push together, with all our might.
We push and push, until…
The wall collapses outwards onto an amazing sight!
There are huge butterflies and giant sweets, Sesame Street meets Charlie and The Chocolate factory!
We all storm out through the whole in the wall. I can still hear them cheer, I felt heroic.
I felt innocent, I felt elated.
I felt…
Awake.

Good. A real experience? Some people say we access our memory bank during that state and construct whatever “reality” we want to experience while in that lucid dream state. Since you were a child, you did not know better than to wish for a joyous, beautiful and childlike experience. that you realy enjoyed and stayed with you. I wonder what did you see when you woke up.
My questions:
Were the kids really awake, those that you woke up in your lucid dream? Or where they then experiencing a lucid dream with you? Did the teacher really fall asleep as you saw her do?
If it was not a real lucid dream, it is a real beautiful memory you have.
