Okay, so i'm new to this forum.
Im also new to this whole lucid dreaming thing aswel so bare with me


Last night i was dreaming about walking through the amazon...why i don't know, when all of a sudden i THINK i realised i was dreaming.
I say i THINK because im pretty sure i did, its all abit hazy.
But anyway, once i realised i was dreaming, i had an overwhelming feeling of actually having a body. All of a sudden though, everything seemed to fade away, and i remember spinning to try and keep myself lucid, which i've read is supposed to help.
I then, however woke up in my bed, and decided to write down the small dream that i actually did have in my dream journal. But something seemed odd, and something made me pull my finger to see if i was dreaming,(so i hear, if you are dreaming your finger will stretch out) but nothing really happened, my finger didnt feel asif it was really there. It was then that i realised i was actually still dreaming.
I then REALLY woke up.
I don't have a clue why i dreamt i woke up when i was trying to have a lucid dream..and im pretty sure that i wasn't in control of it either like i had hoped.
Is there something im doing wrong?
