lucid

I am laying in my bed just trying to fall asleep. I notice that there are colorful images floating in the darkness of my eyelids which I have noticed in the past but never to this extent. I'm fascinated so I watch them swim in my vision. A very round and mirthful face drifts down from above and fixes itself in the center of my eyelids. I find it slightly peculiar that it is so prominent in my vision when my eyes are closed. It slowly starts to float off to the side. I watch it as it leaves my vision..

I wake up. I'm laying in my bed but everything is SO bright. My sheets and the light coming from my window are the most brilliant vivid white I've ever seen. Suddenly I realize that I must be dreaming. I excitedly pinch my nose and try to breath. I expect nothing to happen like every other time I've checked - BUT I am able to breath! At this point an exultant triumphant feeling wells up inside of me and I have an ear to ear grin. I try to prop myself up on my elbows to look around but it's like I don't have any control of my limbs. I roll over and try to push myself up but my arms just seem to sink into my bed.

I actually wake up. I was slightly disappointed that it only lasted what felt like a minute and a half, but that feeling didn't last long. I FINALLY was able to become Lucid after a few weeks of trying.
