My first lucid dream - preparing for a swim (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I decided to try the afternoon-nap thing again. I hadn't been really successful with this one, but I wanted to try it with me staying in bed instead of on the couch.
The first try was not successful. I visualised my dream storage room and chose a previous dream to enter, but it didn't work (the last step - sinking into the chosen dream). After an hour I got up, went to the loo and decided to get another hour of sleep... not really trying anything, just hoping to dream and to recall it afterwards.

I used my fingers to go through my hair and had a tuft of hair in my hand. I laid it aside and looked at it. I was dismayed as it was quite a lot of hair. But relieved to see that it was not full length - so I would be bald, only one side of my head would have shorter hair.
I fingercombed another strand and came away with another tuft.
Then it came to me. I thought "That can't be right. Something like that does not just happen." and I realised that I was dreaming.
And so, I thought "Hey, as this is a dream, my hair will be back on my head and actually arranged in a sleek, long braid that swishes along my back.
I realised that I was not alone in the room and that we all prepared for some swimming contest. So I decided to beat them all in the race. But before that I wanted to wear a great bathing suit. I already was close to the door to leave for the contest as someone asked me a question. She wanted me to do something before leaving. I turned away from the door and saw a mirror. As I looked inside I saw my face - nothing weird or strange about it - and I was wearing a simple black bathing suit.
Then I heard my phone ringing.I woke up thinking, that I couldn't stay in bed all afternoon, especially if someone called to talk to me. So I got up and went to the living room to check who had called. Well, the answer is NO-ONE. My mind was playing a trick making me think in my dream that I could hear the phone through two closed doors.

Damn...
But hey - my first lucid dream - and I had some control over it.
