So Close :(

So anyway. Before i went to sleep I did the "if i see my hands in my dream i will become aware that i am dreaming" thing more times than I can count on the world's fingers. I also did the HNB test twice. Ironically, it carried over to the dream. This was my first time trying to get lucidity.

The Dream(I was not lucid for any of this):
The main part is I was in the living room, and I did the HNB test. I breathed. I then stuck my finger through I wall, and through the palm of my hand.(Two more reality checks.) My dumb self didn't get it

. My dream self said "hey, im lucid." But I wasn't.

I should probably consider myself lucky though, as this was my first time trying

.

that sucks i was so concentrated on getting my first lucid that i was half lucid before the RC. but anyway RC more during the day i really reccomend the nose RC where you hold your nose and try to breathe becaus to me stuff like poking my finger through my hand doesent really shcock me like being able to breath through my closed nose. but just remind yourself to do the RC,s whenever something weird happens like ;ast night i was on my cellphone and all of a sudden it sent a message for no reason i did the RC and became lucid. point being RC during familiar common activitys you would see often. (sorry if that dragged on too long)

Looking back on it, I remember being very shocked by the nose RC. I think I was lucid for 2-3 seconds. But when I stuck my hand in the wall, it somehow sucked me back into the dream.
