I had my first LD a couple weeks ago. I guess it was a DILD because in my dream i was in this weird room and then I suddenly became lucid. When I realized this I was excited and just started running around. I ran across the room and into a black wall that sent me falling into blackness, but then the dream was over because my father woke me up.

Anyway, I think I;m having trouble discerning what is LD and what is waking up. Before this time, whenever I thought I was lucid i would wake up...I guess its because that often happens: you usually wake up when you realize its a dream. I guess this time I was able to stay in the dream somehow, until my friggin dad woke me up. Anyway, yeah, lucid dreaming is the most strange/awesome experience ever....but I think that's my main problem, staying in the dream, cause 'waking' up inside my dream is like some sort of trigger to actually wake up, and since it actually feels like waking up, i do wake up. Anyone have any tips on staying lucid?

Oh yeah: when i was lucid, the scariest part was that I felt like I was doing everything that I was doing in the dream in the physical world as well. Does anyone know about if lucidity actually makes you move around a lot in bed, etc.?
