      Question Was I close?

      Ok, so today, I woke up at 7, then went back to bed, woke up at around 8ish, and wrote down my dream.
      Then, I went back to bed, and kind of tried to (whatever the verb is for "transition") into a dream. So I lay on my side, and I started imagining a scenario. I felt that I was in a sort of SP, where my hands felt numb etc. I was like, kind of, half in the dream. Meaning, I was aware of my physical body, but I could also kind of move around in my dream body. So I decided to do an RC in my dream body, just to try gain more control over it, to finish the transition into the dream. I stuck my finger through my hand, it worked, and in my dream body/in my mind i said/thought: "wow that's weird".
      Now. I tried to switch all of my senses into my dream body, and it worked with touch, sight, (didnt really focus on taste and smell). But I couldnt seem to switch my sense of sound. The slightest sound in RL pulled me back and away from the dream.
      Then eventually my mum came in and told me to get up. I couldnt be bothered continuing, so I got up.

      Was I really close to getting into the dream?? Cause it kind of felt like it.

      Yeah it seems like you were in the dream. I put in earplugs as soon as I wake up during the morning if I want to go back to sleep.

      You can buy ear plugs for swimming. So water doesn't go into your ears. Except these tend to be hard, not foamy and soft, and often have cords attached to them so you don't lose them in water. You can cut the cord off, but lying on your side might be a bit of a bother.

      Yeah either get ear plugs or just keep doing it until the sound doesn't bother you any more. You where in a dream as far as I was concerned, you did such a great job. Keep it up.

      I have a feeling you well be a great dreamer.
      Lucid dreaming takes three things: Patience, practice, and perseverance.

      Yeah foamy ones. I have like 5 pairs but I use them almost every night and I only throw them away when they're getting yellow, which takes some time Cheap and great for staying asleep in a noisy house.

      Maybe I should get some.. I try to nap during the day, but outside noises do stop me from drifting off.
