Yeah, I love my dream journal too. About my sig: those dreams (I'm starting to call them Dreams About Lucid Dreams - DALDS) are really weird. Whenever I'm psyched about lucids, I always dream about having one. It's strange - but everyone else tells me they're real lucids...and the feeling will come soon.

It sounds like you experienced some sleep paralysis - which is great! You're making tons of progress. If you hadn't felt so awake, it could have progressed into a WILD, but it's alright. Next time, I would reccomend Hagart's FILD Technique. You move your fingers ever so slightly, concentrating on the movement. This could lead you into a real lucid dream!

I love that smiley.
