My First Lucid Dream

I was dreaming a dream.

I don't remember what it was now and, quite frankly, that part isn't important.

I remember stopping doing whatever it was I was doing at that point and saying to my dreaming self, "Hey! You're dreaming!" and then, a quick moment after that, thinking to my dreaming self, "Now that you've realized that, you are going to wake up just like all the other times."

But, I didn't (and you won't the next time !YOU have this realization).

I remember everything around me going dark in the same way a stage will go dark at the end of an act.

The lights faded out and I was suddenly floating in pure blackness.

I thought to myself, "I am in complete control. I can do anything."

I next heard my mouth saying the words,"Let there be light."

And there was...

And it was good.
