      Falling into a dream?

      I remember some strange experience I had last fall, when I wasn't really into lucid dreaming as much, but had lurked around this site and read a lot of the materials. I was sleeping over at a cousin's house and woke up in the middle of the night; I just remember seeing the room around me and thinking with 100% positivity, "I will now enter a dream." The room began to melt and it felt like everything was swirling around me and I was falling through the bed. Next thing I knew I was in a dream, partially lucid; of course, I wasn't experienced at maintaining lucidity and so I soon got lost in a normal dream.

      But overall it was a really weird experience that I haven't been able to duplicate thus far. Any thoughts on what exactly happened that night?

      hi and congratulations!! well, falling when lying on the bed trying to WILD is sign of SP and is good, however in your case you were already in an FA so the falling was just a random way for you to change the scene/
      TAKE DV members advice with caution! some have had zero or 1-2 LD's yet act like gurus
      TOTAL LD's (almost all DILD/MILD) =160!!
      new goals: have more LD's than Shift[X]

      It was probably because you had read a lot about lucid dreaming during the day, and because your mind was focused on lucid dreaming when you woke up during the night.

      Also, do you remember if you could move your body when you woke up?

      Yeah I'm quite sure that I was not in sleep paralysis. I don't think it was a false awakening either because I knew it to be the same room I was sleeping in in reality. I think it was just the fact that I had just woken up and also had the correct mindset after exiting whatever dream I was just in.

      I know what you mean, being in the right mindstate for a lucid dream. I've been there before, too. Where you just know you can enter a lucid dream effortlessly. I get it a lot when my sleep is disturbed from sleeping in a strange house, hotel, or at a strange time. It seems so easy at the time.

      It is something similar to a DEILD. You are still on the edge of sleep, but have enough consciousness to remember to reenter the dream. Have you tried DEILD? It is a similar feeling.
