Alright, I had just started reading techniques about lucid dreaming last night, and was a bit intimidated by a few of them.
So I decided that I was going to try it my own way.
I put away my PSP and tried to sleep.
As I was reading the articles, I was telling myself that I was going to go lucid that night.
As I was dozing off, I kept my mind active.
I was thinking about things that had happened earlier on in the day, thinking about some math problems, etc.
Then I must have dozed off.
I usually wake up a few times in the middle of the night, then fall back asleep within a minute or so.
So about the third or fourth time I woke up, I did a reality test.
I looked up at the clock on my ceiling (laser clock) and the clock had changed from digital to analog.
I thought that this might have just been a setting changed somehow on the base (even though there is no analog setting) and thought I would do another reality test.
I outstretched my hand and snapped my fingers and sure enough, sparks went shooting out of the tips.
After I did this, I knew I wasn't awake.
So I grabbed my remote control off my nightside table and flicked on my TV.
It started with the strange fuzzy screen thing, so I went to see what channel I was on.
I pushed the info button and it said that I was on channel 9999999.
So I switched to the Discovery channel, and there was some program on the rain forest on.
I thought I would try out my "Dream Powers" and managed to jump inside of the TV screen.
I ended up in the rain forest with monkeys and everything for a while, but then all of a sudden a man walked up and sprayed me with a super soaker.
But instead of water coming out, a whole bunch of scenes went flying at me and I was teleported into one.
Somehow, I got teleported into some kind of porno movie, and then ended up with my dog licking at my face in the morning.
The thing I was surprised about the most was the vividness and reality of the lucid dream.
When I had a false-awakening, I truly thought I was awake.
I was also surprised at how I was able to achive a lucid dream at my first try, without even following any guidelines.
It was a truly magical experience :content:

Congradulations! Sometimes, just immersing yourself in the concept of lucid dreaming is enough to induce one. My first lucid dream since joining happened this way, though it was of low quality and short length, I did realize I was dreaming, and I did exert control over at least my own actions. But they tend to get clearer and longer over time. Anyway, I hope you have many, many more!
