Hello everyone,

I got into LDing about a year ago. After trying for some time I finally had a LD (recognized a dream sign), which was short but awesome.

I gave up on it after a while though, and now I'm back trying.

Last night (well, actually this morning) on my first attempt, I set my alarm for about 5 hours after going to bed, and when I woke up I laid there for a bit and relaxed, visualizing my class room (it was the first place that came to mind), feeling out stuff, etc. After a bit, I started to feel the transition into the dream, the room started to become real, heard some weird noises and BAM, I was in the dream.
At least that's what I think happened. I remember thinking: "Wow I'm actually in the dream now!" but after a while I lost lucidity and it became just another dream.

My question is, how can I be sure that it actually happened? I remember the dream, and waking up thinking: "I did it!" but I can't be 100% sure about all of it. Could it have been all just a dream? I can't say for sure that I didn't fall asleep immediately and from that point on it was all a dream. I was still too sleepy when I started visualizing.

My first LD was way clearer than this one too, so I don't know! Any advice would be appreciated.
