Hey!
I've been reading this website for a few days now, and yesterday I attempted to become lucid in my dream for the first time.
It didn't work, but hey, it was only the first time!
I tried to remain concious when I was in the transition from being awake and being asleep. I felt as if I couldn't move...and you know that feeling where you're on a roller coaster and your stomach jumps? I had that feeling too.

So I tried doing something I read on here...I imagined myself walking through my house to see if I would become lucid. I found it very difficult to focus on one thing. My thoughts felt far away and distant..and I couldn't focus on one thing, I kept forgetting. So I did not become lucid.

I set my alarm for 4:30am...and I remembered my dream! I NEVER remember my dreams so this was pretty cool. I wrote it down and tried to go back to sleep. I tried the remaining concious thing again...telling myself that I was going to dream and become lucid over and over...and I don't really know if I fell asleep. I kept thinking of things in my mind..my body felt heavy..and I tried to do a reality check to see if I was dreaming but again my thoughts were so distant I couldn't focus. I looked at the clock again and it was 5:47, so I don't know if I was awake the entire time or if I was dreaming and didn't know it. Anyhow, I'm going to keep trying!

Any pointers?
Anything I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
