The first one was around three years ago. I was half asleep early one morning and felt like I'd gone through a doorway into another place , a strange landscape a bit psychedelic. I saw some swirling energy which coalesced into the form of a Snow Leopard ( see my avatar ). I walked out across the landscape , the Snow Leopard walks beside me. First lucid dream I'm walking down some dark streets and become aware I was dreaming , then I try flying and can. And it did access some trauma and was difficult. Strange experiences but very healing.
