Lucid Learning

Hello everyone, I have only just joined and i was wondering if anyone could help me?
I am into this spiritual/new age era, and Lucid dreaming is something that interests me.
I have recently been trying to teach myself, involving reading books, taking tips on how to achieve this wonderfull skill.
Yesterday, i was determined to make this work, and did everything i could, even during the day, repeating the same thing over....anyway cut a long story short, last night i think i may have had a lucid dream, but im not to sure. for example, i remember being near my road, and i said, and i quote "this is a dream" but something seemed to be missing? other things though, like picking up a chair felt real in my hands, the flying thing of course, and also i kept waking up, going back to sleep, and again, about 3 times. now i'm not to sure what this all meant? was i rushing things? trying to do so much at once, because it felt real, then it didnt? deep down i think some of it was?
i record every dream i have and this one was...well, like i said, felt like i was in control, but to much was going through my mind maybe? if and when this happens again, i want to control it and calm things down....can anyone help me :-)

Sometimes we have lucid dreams, that although are lucid dreams, have a low level of lucidity. You may know you're in a dream, but you don't really understand what that means. For example, you may still think all the people and things you see are real. You may have also just forgotten to stabilise the dream and lost lucidity very earl on the dream.

Also, welcome to the forum!

wow man, congrats! sounds like a mind bomb of an experience! may not be perfect, but its farther than me so far! Good luck with all the future ones.

Thanks dude, it was the first time for me since i started really thinking about it.
like i said, it felt different but i wasn't to sure. It was strange because i remember saying out loud, "this is a dream" but like i said, i lost control a bit and started to think was it really? but something was there. I have had quite a few O.B.E's in the past so my belief maybe what has started it. :-)
