Thanks! I'm not sure it was fully lucid, but I definitely had a moment of "hey! this is a dream!" Too bad I lost it before I got to try anything interesting, but that seems pretty normal.

I think I might have already learned a few mental 'dream tricks' before even discovering LD.

About a year ago I had several really, really disturbing bouts of Sleep Paralysis, and so I read a lot about how to cope with it.

One thing is to try to move just one little toe or pinky finger to 'break' the paralysis. Another good suggestion was to come to terms with the fact that, no you're not dying, you're just not physically awake just yet, and be OK with that.

I continued to get the SP pretty frequently (dunno why I had so many during those few weeks), and managed to try both of these things with some success. Trying to RC last night felt kind of similar - just trying to remember what's going on.

Anyway, thanks again, and cool that you were able to find lucidity so quickly! I'm glad I found this site!
