Hi all,

I've only just had my 2nd LD recently and noticed something different from my first one. Mainly, in my first LD I had a distinct sensation of being in the dreamworld but also able to feel my physical body back in bed. This at the time helped me a lot to stay lucid as I was able to almost flick between the two states and use it a bit like a dream-anchor. I may even have been able to hear my own breathing internally somehow, but not sure on that.

In my 2nd LD though, I was not aware at any point of my body lying back in my bed and although I feel the overall quality of this dream was better, even though way way shorter, it was hard for me to anchor my dream and thus I lost lucidity quite quickly.

So my questions are, is one type better than another? Does it really matter etc? How do yours manifest themselves in these ways?
