First Purposeful lucid dream

Just had my first LD since joining DV! my second total. Actually it was 2 in one night, but i will only count the first one because the second one ended a second after lucidity. It went like this.

I woke up (FA) from a dream that i was having were i was talking about lucid dreaming. SO i was laying there, and I decided to do a quick RC just to be sure it wasn't a FA. I couldn't see my hand because it is dark in my room, so i try to stick my finger through my palm, but it doesn't go through. It does, however feel like my hand is just slightly more flexible, so i decided to hold my noes. I could breathe.

I tried to control my excitement, but it wasn't very good. Everything started to get kinda blurry as i ran up my stairs. When i got into the living room, everything started to melt (like when you cry) and I tried to find something to grab onto, but i was in the middle of the room.

I woke up, cursing myself for forgetting that i could have
1. Not even used the stairs.
2. Rubbed my hands together
3. not gone to the middle of the room

Hey, congratulations! I "lost" my first "on purpose" LD pretty fast, too, but I figure we'll get better at it the more we have. That's great that you were able to stick with the RCs after the one misled you. :)

Congrats! I hope you have more Lucid Dreams soon :D.

thanks, in fact i did, last night. now i need to work on not getting so excited so that they can be more than 10 seconds :)
