Thread: Half An Ld?

First of all, let me say, welcome from Asymptote. Nice forum! Straight to business:

Some months ago, after I first started reading about and getting interested in Lucid Dreams, I accidentally got an opportunity to try the WILD technique. I had woken up in the wee hours of the morning, and as I lay back down, I decided I would try to have an LD. Well, I felt my body vibrating, and in a little while, I found myself in what was apparently a video-game landscape (I had been playing a lot of Half-Life 2 at the time). I did a couple of reality checks. My watch jumped from 1:50 to 4:58, and I could push my fingers through my hands, etc. After a few minutes in the dream, I woke myself up with excitement.

But I've got some problems with my LD:

1. Sleep paralysis, which usually lasts a while for me, only seemed to take about 2-3 seconds.
2. As I think about it, the dream seems only vaguely real, more like a regular dream.
3. I'd been thinking about LD's a lot at the time, and I fear I may nave had a non-lucid dream about lucid dreaming.

So my question to the more experienced WILDers is: do any of these three things disqualify my dream from being a lucid dream?
