Have you ever had a lucid dream?

I had a lucid dream a while back and I’ve never been able to do it again. I don’t think I can muster the right words to describe the lucid dream I had, but I’ll give it a shot.

About a year ago, I was searching on the Internet about lucid dreams and I’ve always been into flying. I tried to lucid dream for months but I just couldn’t. One night, I was super duper knackered and I just fell asleep. I started dreaming about three of my close friends (we all lived in different countries). We were just out casually having a drink and it was so sunny. In the dream, a thought entered my mind… “This can’t be happening because I just had a Skype session with the three of them and there’s no way we can all be at the same place. HANG ON … Am I dreaming? Holy smokes I am dreaming.” The realization was literally inexpressible. I was so thrilled and flabbergasted that I knew I was finally dreaming and didn’t actually wake up.
Everything started becoming lucid, it was utterly vivid. About a few seconds of my realization, I decided I am going to fly. That was my only goal. I didn’t care if I woke up after flying I just wanted to fly. So… I ditched my friends… looked up to the sky… jumped and bolted from the ground and flew. It was mind-boggling. I kept going upwards, aiming for the clouds and I could feel the gravity trying to pull me down as I whizzed up. It was frightening. It was absolutely real… I felt the cold air on my face as I flew through the clouds. I felt the warmth of the sun on my skin. I was in control. I could go left, right, up or down. I was looking at the sun when I was flying above the clouds and the view was stunning. I started shooting downwards because I was so high up. So I decided to up my speed and that’s when things started falling apart… I flew over a couple of skyscrapers but with more and more speed… I was no longer in control. I ended up waking up just before I hit one of the skyscrapers.

When I woke up, I had the biggest frown you could possibly imagine. I tried lucid dreaming again but it never happened. So, tell me… have you ever had one? How was the experience? Did you try lucid dreaming? I’m curious and I want to know if any of you jellies are lucid dreamers.
