So I found this site yesterday while at work...I have had a few lucid dreams before but as soon as I noticed what was happening I would always get overly excited and wake up after about 30 seconds. I remember trying to do stuff in my first one...but couldn't make anything happen because I expected the dream to do the work for me...I know now after reading this site that I have to put in more mental work for that.

Anyway last night I woke up around 4am, I was up for maybe 30seconds and thought...time to WBTB. So I tried and pretty sure I was on the right track but got scared due to the roller coaster sensation that came over my body. Lol it just didn't feel natural so I punked out. Was this in fact the early stages of a lucid dream? How exactly do you go about ignoring that feeling when it feels like your falling in a bottomless pit
