Greetings dreamers, new member here.

I was introduced to lucid dreaming last night while searching the web, and was immediatly interested in inducing my own lucid dreams. I know I've had plenty of dreams in which I know that I'm dreaming, like if something bad happens I can say, ahh its OK i'm only dreaming.
Unfortunately with a sleeping family closely surrounding me I didn't have the option of setting my alarm to wake me up in the middle of the night in attempt to have a WILD. So I just thought to myself in bed that I will have a lucid dream over and over. I believe I went to bed around 12:30.

Out of nowhere I felt a burst of energy in my head, and I remember thinking to myself, something like "it's happening!" I saw my dream-self, though I don't remember where, and I "told" myself to jump really high up and I did, I got really excited about this experience because it didn't feel like a dream really, it felt like a totally new, great sensation. I tried to contain myself, also amazed that I had recalled what I read about
stabilizing myself. I was too excited though...I started to wake up and I tried to picture myself spinning around and around but it didn't work, I opened my eyes. The clock read 4:05, I had been sleeping for roughly 3.5 hours.

I've never woken up after a deep sleep and been so awake with eyes wide open as last night. I couldnt sleep again for an hour, I kept thinking to myself to have another lucid dream because I really wanted too, but I kept opening my eyes and getting distracted. I guess I gave up and drifted off, this time having a non lucid dream that was pretty negative, about a missile blowing up at the top of my street, me running to the basement with my family, and being held in a concentration camp type thing with my family by these dark skinned people.
Anyway, did I have a lucid dream, what happened? Am I on the right path, for just my first night of discovering about all this? Has anyone else experienced this very short type of sensation, it lasted maybe 10 seconds, or atleast it seemed like that but I'm really not sure. Reason I ask is that I read that it takes a few weeks and practice for this type of thing to happen, and it happened not 6 hours after I read about it.
Any input appreciated,
thanks in advance
