My first LD!

[Skanson]

long time viewer...first time poster, I discovered these forums about 2 months ago when I first tried to LD, and last night was my first lucid dream! I used a WBTB / MILD method and the first dream I had after waking up at 5AM was a false awakening! (I was sleeping on a mattress on the floor of my room in the dream, for some reason). I did a couple of RCs with some success...I looked down at my hands to see a blur of fingers, definitely less than 5, however when I looked in a mirror my reflection didn't seem blurry at all, and I could feel my individual ribs. Still, it was enough for me! I finally knew that I was dreaming I didn't really have much control over the dream, couldn't make people or objects appear, although by focusing on a situation I was able to change the general dream course. It really was a cool feeling to actually be conscious and know that you are in two places at once...I even thought of myself in my bed and didn't wake up.

I just noticed that little birthday thing at the bottom of the forum. It may be unrelated to this thread, but I'm saying it anyway. Happy Birthday!
