Sea of the Unconscious

I started recording my dreams about a month ago, but did take a two week break as I went on vacation. On the 5th, I thought "I will realize I'm dreaming" ad nauseum while I was trying to fall asleep.

I remember nothing for a brief time, as I presumably fell asleep, then was suddenly standing by the side of a pool. Normally I never remember starting a dream, nor do I ever realize I just appeared at one spot. I gasped and thought to myself "I'm DREAMING." As soon as I realized this, my body tingled with energy and excitement. I felt as though I was the dream world. I was the world, and so I felt the energy of the world in my body, it felt so exhilarating. It only lasted a moment, then I woke up. I think everything became blurry or white.

I'm not surprised by such a short first LD, but I do hope I have more soon so I can adjust to the excitement more easily. I will be sad if it takes another month to have a second LD.
