I recently had my first LD. I had woken up from a dream, and I wanted to go back to bed. I lied down motionless for a while with my eyes closed constantly reminding myself to realize I was dreaming.

My body might've shook (though I might have just imagined it) and I started to see colors. This next part is... weird to describe. The colors I saw started to seperate themselves from the blackness of my eyelids, so in a way, it felt as if I had two different visions going on. The black began to fade and then the colors began to take form. At this point I was dreaming and immediately became lucid.

Obviously, I know I became lucid, but I'm not really sure of what technique I used (though I think it might have been MILD). Does anybody know what I did to become lucid? I want to try this technique again sometime because my dream (while short) was very, very vivid.
