I recently had my first LD without waking up.

(It can be seen in my dream journal, although I'm too noob to post links apparently).

I'm not so concerned about the fact that I eventually forgot that I was dreaming, but rather that my dream didn't feel realistic at all. The only way that it was different, is that I had more control and concious thought.
Is this normal? Is there something I can do?

Even so, I am very pleased with this long awaited achievement. And also very surprised - yesterday was in a way the first day I've tried to LD in a year. Beginners luck?
