Weird Reality Checks

[lily_s]

Hi! I´m Lily- and just started to learn about Lucid Dreaming. As long as i can think i can influence the topic i´m dreaming about when going to sleep, and i rememeber my past 2-3 days of dreams whenever i lie down in bed :-) When i go to sleep i can feel the paralysis first, then i see coulors and occasionaly hear sounds- then i go to sleep. (Thats good, right?) I tried to do reality checks in my last 3 dreams- in all i tried to hold my nose and breathe- i discovered that i usually don´t have hands to do that in my dreams :-) so i had to "make" hands to hold my nose and pinch my finger trough them- it worked- but as i was wishing my hands on i knew i was dreaming.... i think it sounds really weird.. I got kinda scared and just let the dream go on without interfering further.. Can anyone tell me if that´s right what i´m doing? i would really appreciate help, Lily
