Thread: Does this count?

Hello

So i've been really keen and into the thought of LDing. For a week or so i've been lurking and doing random reality checks throughout my day, particularly when i see things that make me go hmmmm.

Anyway, i fell asleep one night and, can't remember details (i havent been recalling), but there was a strange 'atmosphere' about this dream where I felt that I was trying to accomplish something? Quite odd, the dream was a pretty normal one with all the strange goings-on, except this strange feeling of "im sure i'm trying to do something".

I was quite enthusiastic the day after, as I felt i was getting somewhere - I've never had a feeling like that in a dream before. To get to the point...

The other night I decided to listen to "binaural beats" (?) and fell asleep doing so. The only thing I remember about the dream I had was this: I remember that feeling was around again. I was sat on a pub garden like bench, can't really remember where exactly but it was next to a rather large mansion of quite old theme. It was here that i remember almost 'forcing' myself to say "is this a dream? I must be dreaming i've never seen this place before" (its hard to explain the 'forcing' - lack of a better phrase). After I said this I woke up instantly...

Did I have a lucid that night? I'd just like to know if i'm on the right track, and yes, i'm starting a recall diary - pen and paper by the bed ready!

Thanks!
