Lucidity Achieved :d

So, I had a lucid dream on accident. I hadn't done much practicing of techniques before this, the only thing I would do before sleep is eat a banana to get some good ol' vitamin B6 to induce dreaming... For dream recall.

Well, I had a dream where I sat up in bed, and I did something that caused me to think that I was dreaming (can't remember what I had done). I attempted to perform the reality check of holding your nose and trying to breathe, but it didn't work... I think because I expected it not to work. Shortly after that, I lost lucidity.

Regardless, though, that was my first lucid dream (well, I've had semi-lucid ones before, but I didn't know what they were then).

Nope, the nose RC failed. I don't have a clock in my room, else I would have tried that. I didn't have a cold, I think it was just I was expecting it not to work (I had tried it before in the real world, just to check if I was awake or dreaming). I know I was dreaming because I did something that was not possible in real life (I'm not sure what... I think I made something levitate or somesuch).

Thanks

I am going to start practicing techniques soon.

While still one of the best RCs, as you know if you are dreaming if it works, no doubt, he nose RC isn't perfect or 100% fool proof, and can fail, especially if it is a FA, where it seems very realistic. Anyways congrats on you're first LD :bravo:
