Day two

I've had experiences with sleep paralysis twice which freaked me out immensly (I was only 7 years old) but I'm new to the world of lucid dreaming. I've never remebered my dreams, ever, but I spent a whole day just browsing lucid dreaming sites and began making a dream journal. On day one I had my first lucid! It only lasted 2 seconds max though, because I immediatly woke up from excitement. Then day two I had no lucid dreams, but I had a false awakening! It was wierd because I've never had the experience of having something in my mind seem so real.

I wasn't trying to do any of this, I was just trying to obtain some dream recall using the journal. Was my experiences over the past two days just beginners luck?
