Hey benzoe, congrats on the LD! Now that you had your first long LD, it should be easier for more to follow. |

So, I've had a few kinda lucids before, but this one was on a whole other level. I've been trying to Lucid dream since August 29 and it's now May 16. After a couple of False awakenings, I checked the clock by my bed twice, and at one point it had read, like, 62:25. Yeah, sure. Also, It had changed when I looked back. |

Sleep paralysis, in fact, happens every night to everyone. It's the body's way of preventing you from acting out your dreams. Although, most people have never actually "recognized" that they were in Sleep Paralysis, which is what I think you meant to say. Like me, I have never experienced it, but it still happens to me everynight, I am just never awake/aware when it occurs. |

Thanks for the feedback! 4 minutes is long? hmm... I still find it weird that I had like three false awakenings BEFORE the lucid, and none after. It was quite a shock seeing the clock read different times when I looked back at it, though. I'd imagine some of you know what I mean, because other than the phrase "Pure shock" I can't really describe it. |

Hmm I think I know what you mean. But, instead of saying false awakening, could you mean that you were simply dreaming before you thought you were and thought you were still awake, before you thought you fell asleep? If so, this has happened to me. I was trying to WILD and before I fell asleep (or thought I fell asleep), I opened my eyes and was looking around in my room but I heard a radio playing in the background...Realizing I didnt have a radio in my room, I knew it was a dream...I immediately woke up though because I got too excited but I was in fact dreaming when I thought I hadn't fallen asleep yet |

Nope. I had an actual non-lucid dream, woke up, thought "No, that wasn't a dream, I just was visualizing it in my head but not dreaming, so I'm not gonna record it (I use a microphone to record it, then write it down later)". In the morning this thought made no sense. I went back to sleep, then I woke up again, a bunch of weird stuff happened, Woke up AGAIN and realized I had a false awakening, and then realized that I was STILL in a dream (This is when I became lucid). So that makes 2 maybe 3 false awakenings, but one of them turned into a lucid. |

Congratulations and have fun. |
