Yeah, the first time I saw a mirror in a lucid dream, it was normal for me too. I think mirrors aren't particularly wierd unless you really expect them to be, or if you start doing things like asking your reflection questions, or reaching into the mirror. I tried to shake my reflection's hand for a lucid task of the month a year or two ago, and reflections in lucid dreams have been really weird since.

Getting distracted is quite common, most of us aren't very focused in dreams. It's generally recommended for you to pick one goal for your next lucid dream, and think back to it often. If you have a bunch of goals in mind none will really stand out, and if you don't have any obviously you'll just do whatever comes to mind at the time, but if you have a single goal in mind, you're much more likely to do what you've planned to do.
I didnt expect for it to work, but i was so determined. I told my friend "i'm going to try to lucid dream, and i BETTER do it." aha, i was so pumped (:

and.. thats freaky. when i read creepy things like that, i start to tear up, lmao. i just started tearing up reading that. i don't think i would have enough courage to reach out and touch my reflection and shake hands. if my dream starts out in my room, then ill have to deal with the mirror because i have a huge one in my room.

i'll try to get a goal, and i HAD one ! i was going to fly ! but for some reason i forgot all about it. i'm not sure what i should try for starters.
