Had first lucid dream!!!

Ok so I've been having a lot of success by waking up about 2 hours before I get ready for school at 5 am then going back to sleep and I've been going into sleep paralysis a lot. So I tried this and after the third attempt I was in a lucid dream.

So at first I was non lucid at my house in the bathroom. My dad started yelling wtf are u doing in there! He then said , are you doing drugs ?!?!? In an angry voice. Then for some reason I was being a smart ass then I said, no, I'm doing crack. LOL so then my dad goes crazy and I'm like wtf this has to be a dream it has to be a dream so I look at my hand and I have 7 fingers LOL then boom I'm awake.

What's weird is I was attempting wild by waking up after 5 hours then going to sleep but instead I just achieved lucidity in a non lucid and I stopped doing reality checks for like a week so... Thoughts?

Congrats! :movingmrgreen:

I think it's because WBTBs are great for DILDs (and lucid dreaming in general) and attempting a WILD was keeping it on your mind until you fell asleep, thus getting this LD. Also, sometimes when you quit practicing you'll still get lucids for a bit.

When I had my first lucid I was only working on my dream recall, I didn't do many RCs or anything. When I had my second lucid, I wasn't even paying attention to my dreams, though I had good recall, but I became lucid because I noticed a dream sign. Now that I'm focusing on daily awareness and RCs, I'm not having any. But I have to admit I have only been really trying for some weeks.

The normal thing is that you have lucids when you are trying, but sometimes taking the pressure off your shoulders may trigger some.

Congrats for the first lucid! :D

That's great, congrats! You'll definitely have a lot more to come. Like Mismagius said, you can sometimes get lucids after stopping practises. :mrgreen:
