A True Lucid.
It was like that first feeling of lucidity all over again. I had a lucid dream the other night where I truly felt like I was inside the dream, really inside it! This occurred after a couple lucids where I woke up from being curious if I could feel my body from within the dream (surprise: you can, but you wake up from it) and being afraid I'd make a habit of it. Here's the dream I'd had.

78: 4.16.10; 7:46AM Part 3: The First Lucid Where I'm Truly Living Inside It. (DILD)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
I have a dream that I pull up to a laundromat just as another car does, the people within it pulling out guns and preparing for a robbery. I have a gun in my hands but hide it and get my head down to avoid getting shot as I see glass shattering and hear bullets firing within the building. I'm on the phone with Julia and tell her where I'm at and what's going on.
Somehow I wind up inside the laundromat, and am coming out of the dream. I force myself to stay focused, and start to really put attention to the ceiling and the many lights hanging down from it. I comment on how nice the lights look from where I'm at (those that were on, anyway - most were off except for many of those near the back of the laundromat) and the dream gets very vivid.
I become lucid and as I do, I consciously want it to really feel like reality - and so it happens. I lift my arms from my sides slowly as if breaking out of sleep paralysis/REM atonia, and feel an amazing feeling of freedom in this lucid that I can honestly say I've never felt before! I wondered if I was moving in real life, but let go of that thought quickly to focus on the dream.
I look and walk around admiring how real everything is (the robbery still in progress, of course). I crawl under a chair for the heck of it, to enjoy this amazingly real environment I'm in, coming out the other side and finding myself standing behind one of the would-be robbers. After coming out from under the chair I shout, "RAA!" as I see my own face in third person, and found that to be pretty cool, with everything being so incredibly real. I approach the robber who hasn't noticed me yet, and make a finger-gun with my hand at him, saying "Bang!" a couple times with no results. I take the gun from his hand and put it to his head, shooting twice. (No wounds, no blood, no mess, just death.)
I walk away from him and want to do the advanced task - stand on my head, for real. As others have done on DV, I slowly pinch my neck on both sides and lift my head off my shoulders. At first my vision kinda follows my head, looking at the back of it after it leaves my shoulders, but then returns to its original position while I put my head on the ground in front of me and hop on my own head with both feet. I wake up right after.
Wonder what my dreamworld kill count is right now?
Now that's how a lucid should feel, to me now. It was so real. Power of the human mind, right there. :)

sounds so awsome! I can't wait to have one like that. Did you use MILD or anything?

I've had 20 DILDs of my 25 lucid dreams, though the last five that I've had have been aided by using auto-suggestion as I fall asleep, asking my subconscious to allow me to have a lucid dream that night. I combine this with a WBTB to ensure I'm mentally awakened, and that the auto-suggestion will work. I think what I'm doing is close to MILD, but isn't actually a MILD as I'm not doing everything involved with one.
