Just wanted to start off with a hello! I'm new to this stuff...just started researching it yesterday in fact but on my first night I already experienced a lucid dream and a false awakening. I was looking up stuff up until i fell asleep then all of a sudden i rolled over and thought i fell off my bed...but i didn't hit the ground and realized I'm dreaming wow! Unfortunatly i couldn't see anything except darkness. Eventually I stopped falling and just stood there in darkness. I realised that i had my eyes shut real tight so I tryed to open them, next thing i know I'm in my bed breathing heavy and I said to myself "Wow that was insane!" I was so excited I didn't do a reality check...I ran up stairs to grab some food and found my mom standing in the kitchen, not thinking I told her and she just said mhm....I was a little freaked out because neither of us moved or talked. Then I woke up in my bed again this time panting, and very very scared. I did about 5 different reality checks to make sure I was awake and here I am shakeing, scared to go to sleep at 3:30 in the morrning. My question is, Is this normal? Sorry for the long post and please respond, thank you.
