Hi everyone, first post here.

I think I had my first LD last night (bar a 10 second one a few weeks ago). But now, i'm doubting whether it was actually a lucid dream or whether i just had a dream about being in a lucid dream (if you get my meaning!)- this is because, while i can remember what happened pretty well, i can't remember my feelings/reactions to being in the dream very well.

I went to bed around 12, and set my alarm for 5.40. I woke up then (from a dream i can't remember), browsed some lucid dreaming stuff on the net for 40 minutes, while doing plenty of RCs (i've been trying the writing on the hand method). I then went to sleep and, as far as i can remember, i woke up pretty much straight away and realised i was dreaming.

I had a quick fly around (as you do!), but couldn't control the landing very well, so i then thought i'd woken up- i was standing in a bedroom, opening a window and i remember thinking that its weight felt extremely real, and i could hear the wind rushing outside. Then i checked my hand and to my surprise i had seven fingers, all changing shape and morphing- some short and stubby, some normal. This made me realise i was dreaming. Then i wandered around then dream world for a while visiting friends at a party, before i woke up (for real, this time).

I'm pretty sure this was all real, and i wrote it up in my journal as soon as i awoke- there's just this nagging feeling that, because while i can remember the events, i can't remember my emotions/reactions to being lucid, it may have been a 'dream within a dream'. Has anyone ever felt like this?
