Well I gave Lucid dreaming a try for the first time and what I got was kind of freaky. Someone had posted a link to this forum and a recording in which I listened to while taking a nap. I followed the instructions of the voice very carefully using all my concetration. After a while I almost felt like I couldn't move and I got this dark image that almost looked like one of those... small telescopy type things that reflect the light around and show shapes (like diamonds) and spin when you look into them.. something scope? (Oh how I would love to remember what the hell they are called). Well I was starring at it for about 6-10 seconds and all of a sudden I lost the image and just went back to blackness. Is this Lucid Dreaming or was I seeing some sort of.. reflection in my eye .. or something..

The main reason I am interested in the concept of Lucid Dreaming is that I am a Animation Student.. And I thought maybe I could get inspiration from my dreams and maybe possibly animate them.
