Mine too, but it was simply the first tutorial I read on here. It sounded too good to be true and I was way to curious how this would be like. The first night trying I fell asleep right away though. The next day I read about SSILD and unintentionally mixed them up - but the combination somehow worked like a charm for me. Had a very interesting transition and stayed lucid for about 20 minutes.

Still my best lucid dream to date, beginner's luck I guess. Tbh, that was a life-changing experience...
