      "I Am Dreaming!" LD

      Hey people!

      I've just had the first LD that I'm aware of. It happened just last night. I'll give a short scenario...

      I was walking with my friend in the parking lot of a movie theatre at nighttime. But then, I realized I wasn't walking. I was having a heck of a time doing low-gravity jumps and flips over cars and stuff. I suddenly got a flash of awareness and said "I am Dreaming!"

      The dream faded after that, and I tried to conjure up another scene, but eventually felt my bodily paralysis in my bed and woke up.

      The funny thing is, I didn't take time out to do deliberate reality testing. My day before might have affected this. For a long part of the day, I made it my goal to "stay alert for anything weird," and kept that thought in the back of my mind as much as I could. That might have triggered the dream awareness. Nevertheless, I was still working on smoothing out the fluency of various triggers with prospective memory training.

      I attempted a WILD during the sleep state transition, but I wasn't lucid until the very last dream, right before waking up in the morning.

      Anyway, I've had a true breakthrough. I can't tell you how long I've been envious of other people posting their first LD's, and here I am!

      I consider it an advantage that I didn't require reality testing! Reality testing had some part of the trigger of awareness, but I basically didn't have to carry it through before lucid dreaming. I just automatically shouted "I am dreaming!" and so a little bit of my consciousness seeped in and realized. I will get better. I have this unbelievable confidence now because I know what an LD finally feels like.

      Yeah, flash of awareness! I had that common side effect of getting really excited that causes waking up, though.
