After 6 weeks of some hardcore training I finally had a lucid dream two nights ago. One of my dream sign targets triggered the instant realization that I was dreaming (oddly, without me doing a reality check).

The LD was fairly brief, though I managed to control myself after I got lucid and did not wake up immediately, which has happened to me once before. But the dream was unstable and I tried to gain control by doing some of the techniques recommended in LaBerge's text (spinning, focusing on hands). They kind of worked, but the dream kept destabilizing and I woke up after about a minute.

I didn't get to achieve the task I've been planning on doing, but I did get to see some beautiful, amazing jungle/waterfall scenery in vivid detail! This has definitely got my motivation up
