The first lucid dream I can remember was when I was a child (around 5 or 6).
Before being lucid, I used to have a nightmare where I came out of my room in the night, and feared something "evil" that was downstairs in the basement. I tried to turn the lights on. The first time it works. Turning them off worked as well. Then turning them on again didn't work any more.
The usual scenario of this dream was that I eventually fell downstairs, and once I reached the bottom, I woke up. Since I had this nightmare very often, I got used to it. So when coming out of my room, I directly tried the light switch. If the lights didn't turn on consistently each time the switch was on "on", it was a sign that I was dreaming. So I just consciously threw myself downstairs and wake up.
