yays! I had my first LD last night!

It was a false awakening. I remember waking up and RCing with the nose pinch technique. I couldnt breathe perfectly, but it just didnt feel right. I wasnt sure about that reality check, so I looked at my clock. I didnt even have to look twice, the display looked weird so i just concluded that I was dreaming. What amazes me most is the clarity that resulted from this discovery. I was looking at my room and it looked exactly like it looks in waking life. I tried to get up, but I started to loose the dream so I dropped to the floor and rubbed my hands while I stared at the floor, but I lost my dream anyway. I tried to maintain lucidity in the darkness, but I lost it and woke up.

Something interesting is that I went to bed about 3 hours later than I usually do. Maybe this has something to do with it?

This was an amazing experience, and I hope it is the first of many! Thanks to all the guys who helped me!
