I think I had my first lucid dream tonight, though from what I remember the dream was pretty fuzzy, and I can't remember all of it. I copied this from my dream journal, so I apologize if it's not that well written. I'm not a very good writer.


This morning I woke up a couple of hours before I normally get up, like I sometimes do. I think I had a rather restless sleep, judging by the fact that my sheets were tangled around me, and that I was unable to recall any dreams. This was probably because I got to bed rather late the night before. After laying there for a while, I decided to try the FILD technique, since I was feeling tired enough to fall asleep quickly and I hoped I might awaken soon enough to remember any dreams I had.

My memories for a while after that are pretty vague. I remember that I made a nose RC after a short while, which told me I was still awake. I think I fell asleep soon after that, since I can't recall exactly what happened around that time. I know that sometime later I was having trouble opening my eyes, and I think that's when I was in my dream. At some point I tried to look at my hand, which was invisible, though for some reason this didn't make me fully realize I was dreaming. The next thing I can remember is being out of my bed, and I was going to turn on the computer in my room for some reason that I can't recall. I believe I may have been partially aware that I was dreaming at the time, because I decided to do a reality check. I looked at my hand, and counted six fingers. Realizing I was dreaming, I remember looking around a little and thinking of what I should do. Unfortunately, I didn't even think of rubbing my hands or doing anything to increase clarity, and decided to try levitating. I believe I managed to fly up a little without much effort, but I woke up at about that point.
