I tried the whole lucid dreaming thing last March for about 2 months and i was getting decent at dream recall but i could never even get Lucid and ive never experienced the Lucidness before in my life.
After a wile i gave up because it was just depressing and i was getting no where but i always thought about it before going to sleep.

Anyway the other day i was about to fall asleep and i was like "fuck this i give up on even thinking about it" and around 4am i was sitting on my friends couch and i just woke up from the strangest dream and i was like whoa maybe i can jump back into that. So i was trying and it but i could tell my mind wasn't set for it. So i was looking at his orange couch and i remember how clear it looked right before i thought "Well i know im not dreaming but i suppose ill the the Reality Check just for fun". So i plugged my nose and i felt the sweet sensation of air flowing easily through my nasal passage.

WHHHAAAAAT!! I stood up and started yelling "Im DREAMING! HOLY SHIT IM DREAMING!" and i was trying to remember what to do but i was way to excited and it blackened and i woke up with a huge smile on my face.

This has officially re motivated me to start back up again and ill go at it harder than ever until i have a full lucid experience!
