Alright so I finally had my first LD after 7 months of trying and it was totally worth it. I was so frustrated after four or five months that I almost gave up. I quit trying and it put it on the backburner and finally, out of nowhere, I had an LD.

OK, so in the LD I realized I was dreaming and yelled out/thought out "I'm dreaming!" I did the nose pinch RC and I could breathe! It felt so cool.

Then my body seemed to start to vibrate and my heart started to race. Could this be because I was starting to wake up from excitement?

I manage to stay in the dream a bit longer and decide to try to stabilize by rubbing my hands. They feel numb and that doesn't do anything. Then I try to fly but I feel sluggish like I'm swimming against a current.

Is that normal as a reaction? Was it newb rust? Maybe I wasn't completely in control but still lucid?

This is so cool.
