Post-wake up lucid dreaming ?

I went to bed at 1 pm and woke up at 2 pm. I slept around 7 hours at night, so I felt kinda sleepy in the noon.
However, when I woke up I did not open my eyes, but kept lying in bed. Somehow I slipped back to sleep, like in a semi-conscious state, and from there I started to have lucid dreaming. I've been lucid dreaming for about 20-30 minutes, but I felt 4-5 times that I'm getting out from dreaming and forcing myself back again. I felt the difference between my physical body and my " dream body ". It was maybe the most lucid dream I had and I could control it pretty good. Could it be because I was kinda tired and weak when I went to bed ? I heard that when someone is tired then he can get easier in that semi-conscious state which induces lucid dreaming.

Thank you in advance for your answers !

Yeah, this technique is called DEILD - when you slip back into a dream basically. You should look up dutchraptor's DEILD guide in the Induction Techniques subforum, it will teach you how to do this more effectively and more often. Congrats on the lucids :)

Yup, sounds like a DEILD to me :)

I usually hardly ever take naps but sometimes when I put my daughter to sleep I will end up falling asleep on the bed with her. Almost every time I do I will end up in this paralyzed dream state where I can feel my physical body but I am also aware that I am dreaming. If you can reach this state it really is the simplest and most exciting way to have a lucid dream as your conscious mind is pretty much fully awake. It's almost on the line of having an out of body experience but I have also had those and know the difference.
