hello all

i had my fist lucid experience last night, it was a false awakening.

for the past 2 weeks i have put lucid dreaming on hold because my autistic brother came home from boarding school, i started going to be late, i started getting very stressed and worked up ( family arguments etc) which arnt good for lucid dreaming, i had no dream recall what so ever for the past 2 weeks (i usualy remember 1/2 a night)

anywhoos, yesterday i snapped after a family argument and went to bed, i woke up a couple of hours later, tried a sleep paralysis and had a false awakening.
as i was trying the sleep paralysis i think i gave up and failed i cant remember, but the next thing i know im lying in my bed, and i fell very electric (for those who have seen the film 'inkheart' it felt like the strange vibrating camera effect). i knew i was lucid but i did a reality check and i think my fingers went through my hands.

the thing is i cant remember any specifics, it seems very vauge, like a normal dream does.
i suppose its because of the stressful lifestyle i have at the moment.

what i find strange is i had a LD inspite of the stressful lifestyle, i think it had a lot to do with the 2 week break from attempting LD'ing, i took.

over all message:

-if you cant get an LD take a 1 or 2 week break, not thinking about it, after this break, spend an hour or 2 reading up on it before bed, this seems to help.

-a stressful life does not help at all.

just thought id post it up
