Thread: What is it im experiencing ?

Well i had my first lucid yesterday,it was extremely vivid as vivid as i never seen it, but it was not a real dream where i was TOTALLY sleeping. but let me explain (you can read it in my Dream Journal (German, sorry!)


I was making an (unwanted but definately working) Wake back to bed at about 9 in the morning. Well i drifted off and suddenly i was in the "dream" (really a dream?) and instantly knew that i was dreaming so i used my new powers to incinerate a DC that i saw (yes i killed the first DC ive ever seen with fire).

Well . to get to the point, it was not a dream! ok it was but it was more like half sleeping half waking, i still knew my physical body was there. (I would really really appreciate if someone could tell me what this phenomenon is called)
It would best explain it as the "first 20 Seconds of a WBTB if that helps you help me.
i couldnt move but with little effort i woke myself up , dont know why, but i wasnt tired after that
Ask me whatever you want so i can explain even better... i really want to know what this phenomenon is called to get to know more about it.
And please forgive me for my bad english^^ as you see i am german .
