I had a very cool/wierd experience last night. The dream started out with me at a friends house, and something odd happened (can't really remember what) which prompted me to do a reality check. Realizing I was dreaming, I decided to try out some stuff I'd heard about. I tried reading (wierdly enough, the first time I read the paper the words seemed to make sense, but then I read them again and saw that they were different). I then decided (not sure why) to watch orange marbles fall down a life sized chute. Suddenly, I "woke up", (however I was still in their house), and was still dreaming, though I thought I'd woken up. I remembered the lucid dream and went "back to sleep". Back in the lucid dream, I did more stuff (which I can't remember) and then woke up.

That was quite an experience. It's cool, because I've been thinking about lucid dreams a lot, and instead of having one (well, technically I did, but you get the point) I dreamt that I fell asleep and had one. What's also rather cool is that in my lucid portion of the dream, I read something and it seemed to make sense. Everything I've learned here seemed to incorporate itself into a dream, and in that dream I had a lucid dream.

Any possible explanations? Has this happened to anyone? I did a brief attempt at MILD right before I went to sleep, could that have contributed?

Thanks for reading.
