I almost had a LD this morning, but :'(...

When I woke up this morning I tried one of the techniques I've read from here: imagine yourself doing something while you're feeling sleepy. I imagined myself running and I woke up finding myself lying down and doing the running action on the matress. I got up, not sure whether this was a dream. I did a nose-plug RC, but I couldn't breathe. I thought to myself this can't be a dream and went back to sleep. Then I woke up for real. :'( I had had lucid dreams before (though they were very short) plugging nose always worked. I should have know it was around 9 am in real life, but in the dream it was dark. Anyway, I didn't know you could hold your breath in a dream. I should try a new RC.

You didn't wake up.

You're dreaming right now!

Do you do awareness? If that was a dream, or false awakening. You could have been lucky if you were aware, doing a RC isn't the main thing getting you lucid. Also instead of doing one RC, do two. Don't just quit one because it failed.
Hope this helped,

if you already know about awareness, I'm sorry, really D: But good luck or your dreams!
