First attempt of lucid

After reading the forums for about and hour possibly more i decided to fall asleep and make an attempt of the Finger tap method i had read about. I woke during the night many times throughout the night but not having any recollection of any dreams, which led me to believe i had not yet entered the REM cycle so i quickly fell back asleep. Later in the night which I assume was around 7 I woke up breifly and fell asleep attempting finger tap. I remember having a dream
but i wasnt able to become completely lucid or have any control but it felt like i was kinda there but not really and it was kinda hazy. and then later I woke assuming it may be a dream i RC'd by plugging my nasal cavity and attempting to breath but then sadly realized i was in reality and promptly fell back asleep to the finger tap mehtod. I woke to something that i cannot remember but i rember being in a dream and knowing I was in the dream. I dont know how i knew i was in a dream but i just knew.It was pretty short but, I wish I had kept a dream journal but i was to lazy to find pen and paper before i went to bad, ill make sure to keep a log next time though. As it was truly amazing now that i think about it. I hope i can have another tomorrow.
