First LD Experience

[offtheground]

I have been searching around the boards a lot but haven't posted. So the past couple nights I have been trying the technique when you wake up and go back to sleep and think about something familiar to get you to a lucid state, well I had no success. I think part of that had to do with me over thinking it. Well of course the night that I just fall asleep It happened. I was awoken around six in the morning because my window was open and a car had honked, and I shot right up, when I lied back down I just started thinking about my old elementary school (myself and my friend had gone over there a couple days before) and the next thing I realized was I was dreaming. I was helping out in the summer program and all the kids were out playing tag on the playground. Well I didn't realize that I was dreaming until a woman came up to me and said "All the other children are playing over there(pointing somewhere), don't you kids want to join them?" well I am currently in College, not in the K-5 grades, and realized right away I was in a dream. I look up, and I just fly off the ground, it felt so real it was amazing. I flew around for a long while and ended up flying back home, where I eventually woke up, about 6 Hours later. I don't know if it is normal but I got about 12 hours of sleep last night, where usually I only sleep 7-8. Has anyone else experienced long hours of sleep during a LD? Or was I just extremely tired?

And i was suprised because it is almost exactly what happened to me i am 16 now, and it happend to me about 4 years ago, i got off a school bus, and realized i suddenly was in kindagarden, but i was really supposed to be in grade 5, so i realize i was in a dream. and i just dumped a bucket of mud on a teacher's face.. LOL and ran off , but ended up waking up. but msg me back, and let me know anything else interesting about your stories or experiences. thanks, david
