My first few times of becoming lucid I just got really excitied and woke up. I was happy that it had happened though... The funny thing is that was about a year ago, then I stopped recording my dreams really trying to have lucid dreams... Then recently i started recording my dreams again, not doing RCs or anything, and the other day I had my first full on lucid dream, like iwas in complete control of myself over an extended period. I remeber thinking to myself "wow im totally here, i'm compltetely mentally present, except that im flying over the ocean".
