Hi loves

Very new to LD. I've been working with various techniques I've learned on DreamViews for about a month now. I have a more in depth intro for myself here. I am super excited, because last night I became lucid for a short moment. This is the first time I have been successful since intentionally trying to LD.

I woke up about an hour before my alarm goes off to get up for the day. I did some RC's, as I have been doing every time I wake up, and allowed myself to fall back asleep. While I was drifting off, I set intentions to realize I am dreaming during my dreams. Very simple I guess, but I just wanted to become lucid in a dream before I go on to more complex intentions. I think I am correct in calling this scenario WBTB. I was in a dream for while and was at my grandparent's house.

On a side note, I am often at their house in the dreams that I remember. I think this would be a good dream sign to keep in my head. Any time I find myself there, I should do RC's. I think dream sign is the correct term. I need a glossary for this stuff! I bet there is one here somewhere. If anyone knows of one please point me in that direction.

Anyways, at one point in my dream I walked into the kitchen and for some reason it just hit me, "Hey I'm Dreaming!" It was very sudden and seemingly out of no where. It never occurred for me to do an RC, which is what I have been trying train my brain to do while dreaming. I just for one reason or another became aware that I was dreaming. So, I got really excited and immediately started thinking, "I don't want to lose this lucidity." Which I think is bad, because we should never focus on what we don't want, but on what we do. I am very big on positivity and never thinking in the negative. However, I did quickly move past the negative thought of "I don't want to lose this," to "how do I keep it?" The term anchor popped into my head. I think I have read it somewhere. Something about keeping lucidity by using anchors. The problem is that that term is very vague to me, and I honestly really don't understand what it means. Therefore when it did pop in my head, I tried to make sense of it in too literal of a way, I think. I started thinking about my feet being glued to the ground, and I also kept my vision focused on the same thing. I have a feeling this is all wrong. I hope that someone can guide me in the right direction on these anchors. Pretty please!? So after few seconds of trying to "anchor" myself I woke up. But not really. I just dreamt that I woke up. I was actually still dreaming, but did not realize it. I believe this is called a false awakening. Hopefully the more I do RC's every time I awake, the better I will be at avoiding these. I did not gain lucidity again and awoke with my alarm shortly after. It was then that I realized everything that happened. The lucidity, the false awakening, the realization that I have no idea what an anchor is in the sense of LD.

I would love to hear any advice from ya'll. Thoughts, guidance, any thing at all. Your time spent will be very much appreciated.

The questions I have:
What should I do when I realize I am dreaming?
What is an anchor LD wise? Did I make it up, or is it really a thing?
Is there a terms glossary around?

Thanks!

Sogni D'oro!
