Hello everyone!

Im new to all this lucid dreaming stuff. A few nights ago i had a pretty bad experience with sleep paralysis (my first time ever) which sparked my interest in dreams. After finding this site, reading the guide, and trolling the forums i decided that it would be cool to try all this stuff out and take control of my dreams

Last night was my first night and it was pretty weird. Before i fell asleep i looked at the clock and it was 11:56. I dozed off no more than 30 secs after looking at it, and then woke up to and extreme flinch from a very wierd dream at 11:59. i wasnt fully asleep but had that fast dream. And then again about 10 mins later dozed off again and woke again hearing a gunshot in the short dream . When i awoke it sounded like it was almost outside my dream and very close. I went in the house and sure enough there was no gunshot.

I awoke several more times threw the night right after dreams! But when i woke up the rest of the times i just couldnt remember the dreams. Im usually a heavy sleeper and hardly ever wake up in the middle of the night so i know i was waking myself up in my head after the dream to write it in my dream journal, but couldnt recall what happened.

Well that was a long enough opening and just wanted to share my first night of what i call progress . I look forward in sharing my experiences with you guys. Later
