Hello
I'm new to this forum although I've been interested in lucid dreaming for about about a year and started seriously trying to make myself have lucid dreams a couple of months ago. I have been religiously keeping a dream journal (which is easy for me - luckily I have always had massively vivid dreams which I always remember) and have also been doing reality checks throughout the day. I haven't succeeded yet though... until, I think, last night I made a breakthrough. I was having quite an upsetting dream and I really wanted it ( the events, not the dream as I didn't know it was a dream) to stop and all of a sudden the whole dream just froze for what felt like 30 seconds. I was wondering what was going on and then I just woke up. On reflection I am wondering if this was me becoming lucid. Has anyone had similar experiences? I would love to hear as then I'd know that I'm getting somewhere with all this!
Thanks
