Thread: Getting lucid was not easy

Hi all,

2 days ago it was very difficult for me to get lucid, I'll describe what happened.
I had a FA at my home:
So I just ''woke up'', put on my laptop like I would, checked the time it was 10.00, a realistic time for Sunday morning.
Did check the time only once so it wasn't a RC, I was looking out the window at the beautiful pink coloring clouds and beautiful colors, just as beautiful as the colors in my dreams I thought.
Well maybe this is a dream, checked my hands, nothing wrong, checked again and again, wait it's blurry and I have 7 fingers. Somehow I still wasn't convinced this was a dream.
I tried to push my finger trough my hand, and it didn't work!
Let's check the mirror in the bathroom, no nothing special? So I switch off the lights and walked out the bathroom, wait the lights are being weird? Maybe it's broke?
Eventually after checking all the lights in my house and realizing they couldn't all be broke, I was convinced it was a dream and became lucid.

How come it was so hard? cause I have been lucid before without even using a RC, and this time I did about 5/6 maybe more.
Is a FA harder to become lucid or maybe it's the ''home'' environment which I see everyday?
What are your thoughts on this?

I just started practicing lucid dreaming about 2 months ago, so I'm not very experienced.
