Anyways I went to sleep around midnight and woke up around 6AM this morning, came on to DV and also put on a lucidremix.mp3 useful track that i got off here ...anyway I was trying the WILD and was coming up on sleep paralysis a few times anyways.

I finaly had a very short LD this morning I was in some place ive never been before some big house with lots of stairs and i asked myself if i was dreaming did a RC first i did the finger thru the palm thing and it didnt work, then i tried plugging my nose and trying to breathe thru my nose and it appeared that i had a really bad cold in this dream or something as i coudnt breathe thru my nose.

Next I started exploring the house trying to convince myself that i was dreaming, I ended up jumping about 3 floors straight up and land on the railing of a walkway cause i thought i could do it ..so that pretty much convinced me I was dreaming.

Anyways was this a real LD or what was going on cause none of my RCs were working like I have read they are supposed to ? I ended up waking up pretty much right after I tried to jump up stairs in this building.

Well, would you really jump off a 3 floor building if you weren't dreaming. This was an LD just that you didn't get the checks working. At least i hope you knew you were dreaming, or else you would be kinda stupid jumping of a building ^^

Some RC's never work for me, like the hand one. I guess the jumping off the building could be a RC, but I wouldn't reccomend trying that one during the day.

He didn't jump off a building, He jumped Vertically in the air about 3 stories up. This was an amazing RC if you ask me. Considering that you did multiple RC's let's is a good way of acknowledging the fact that you were dreaming. You were completely Lucid. That is a good RC for you I would hold on to that. You know in reality it's physically impossible to jump 3 stories in the air so make that your awareness tool. You will capture it everytime.
