This is my first post, I've been a lurker for a while on the forums but now I've decided to make an account.
I'll give you all a bit of background so you know where i'm at. I've probably had about 6-7 lucid dreams in my life right now (that I can remember). And yeah i keep a dream journal and all that, decided to get into dreaming about 2-3 years ago.

OKAY SO...
About 2 days ago, I had 2 lucid dreams in the one night (occured around 3am to 5am, somewhere in there).

The first one, I was inside my room and I looked at my circular desk and I noticed I had two copies of my current mobile phone (that i have in real life) there. I straight away went "lol, dead giveaway this is a dream". But I remembered reading on the forums to not be overly excited, and so I can honestly say I wasn't that excited (as i use to be from the past). The first thing I did was stablise the dream, I was on the carpet, crawling, i felt the carpet texture, then i put my hand on my computer chair trying to feel it. Whilst i was doing this i noticed the dream had some screwed up colors, like red/blue and green. Also it was dim at night in my dream. And then BAM i woke up. I dont get why i woke up? I was stabilising the dream right? So what did i do wrong?

Also some of you might ask about the colors bit that I mentioned, well think of when you were little and in your parents car, sleeping on a sunny day. When you wake up, all you see is blue stuff. Like everything you look at appears blue etc. In my dream, stuff appeared red/blue and green lol.

Okay now my second lucid happened shortly after (maybe 1 hour after?). I was in a dream and decided "hey lets just reality check, caus i could be in a dream and i woudln't even know it lol". So I did my "T-test". Its where i put my hands in a T formation, and if my fingers go through my hand then surely i'm dreaming. And bam, i saw 3 fingers go through. I was like "yup im in a dream". Then it lasted for like what 2-3 seconds? Then bam i'm back in bed again. I mean wtf?
OH and also, both lucid dreams weren't as vividly clear as the one's i've had in my past. But i know i was lucid.

What am I doing wrong? Was it beacuse i was too tired? I slept at like 10:30PM that night.
