I would post it in my DJ like this:

I closed my eyes and tried to fly off the ladder, but I couldn't (probably because I was so terrified.) I had no control of the dream, so I kept climbing the ladder, and then I lost lucidity and the dream continued.
FA: I woke up in my bed wearing different pj's and realized I was dreaming, but at that point I figured it was late and I should probably get up, so I woke myself up (now I wish I hadn't done that).
My question is, should this be counted as 2 DILDs or 1?
So what happened when you went non-lucid? Don't get too caught up whether it was two or one! I would count it as one dream where you lost lucidity and regained it, which I think is cooler anyway, because then you can start to link your dreams together. I'd rather have one epic lucid dream than a bunch of short ones. I think the multitude of people posting their number of lucid dreams in their signature can make one think that is the most important thing, but it's not. The most important thing is to have fun, because we all know, fun rules!
I see here you already learned two lessons: when you are dreaming, you are invincible. If I was on a ladder like that, and I couldn't fly, I would just jump off (if I was lucid.) Doing the exact thing you are afraid of helps to maintain lucidity.
You also learned not to wake yourself up, because your dream self has no idea what time it is in waking life. Good job on learning those lessons!
