Thread: First LD (that i was able to keep)

I had a two dreams last night, however only one was lucid. it was strange however, that since the mind takes everything to be reality, that i became lucid without any planned reality checks. i haven't done any in weeks, or thought much about LD'ing since ive been busy with school.

there was a HUGE pile of trading cards in one dream, and i was trying to find a certain one. i looked away and looked back, and there was only a small amount, with the others nowhere to be seen. i realized that there was no way that many could just vanish, and realized i was dreaming, and everything went black for a few seconds. the dream faded back into view, and i was in the same place, still knew i was lucid, and continued the dream for what felt like hours. this was also at 7:30 am, on a weekend, so i was able to sleep this long.

is noticing that certain things are impossible a reliable way of inducing an LD without forms of reality checks?
