Okay so this afternoon (I go to sleep very late) I woke up about 3 1/2 hours after being asleep and went to the bathroom. I lied down at a 90 degree angle on my bed different than when I normally sleep which I just started doing, due to various people saying changing where u sleep after WBTB is very effective in producing LDs. I repeated in my head that I will know I'm dreaming and kept questioning whether I was dreaming or not until I fell asleep.

I had a dream I was in a college dorm and woke up to my alarm. (I set my alarm IRL but it wasnt due to go off for a couple hrs) I hit the off button and as soon as it did, I was thrown out of my bed and landed on my head in a really awkward crumpled position. I got back in bed and fell asleep. I then had another dream where I woke up in a king sized bed with like 6 members of my family and my aunt said things felt weird and asked if she was dreaming.
I replied, "Yeah, you probably are drea-hold on, no, wait a second... I'M dreaming!" and became lucid from the dream inside of my first one.

Is this common? How many of you have had a similar experience?

I kinda had the same thing. I was first dreaming like usual, I'll just summarize what happenend. A friend of mine came over we ate a pizza together and after he left I decided to go to bed. When I was in my bed (it's all still a dream) and had closed my eyes, I openend them for some reason and saw my brother and father standing in the room, they said something I couldn't make out, but then I knew this wasn't real, I said to myself this is a hallucination and I punt my hand right through my brother. Then I became lucid and just explored the dream world for a while.

I think it's usually so with a DILD that you dream normal at first, but a certain action or person triggers you to become lucid and realize you're in fact dreaming. At least that's what I've had. I advise you though to ask some more experienced members. This is what I've had in my 2 lucid dreams. but 2 isn't much, so it might be different sometimes.

Good Luck

Yeah I was a little unsure if I had been lucid or not:

And that made a lot of sense because it might seem like your dreaming within a dream, but the dream scene has just changed.
