Thread: first ld. well, kinda.

a little background:
About 5 years ago, i experienced my first lucid dream and was so excited what had happened that night, that i decided to read up on the subject. The only problem was that i wasn't sure about what I had done, and mistakingly got lucid dreaming confused with what i believed to be an OBE, due to the fact that I had never heard of lucid dreaming. A few months ago, I had a dream that reminded me about my first lucid dream I had so long ago, and I decided that i would try to find something about it this time; and I found dream views. I've been looking around the boards for about a month now, taking in all this information, and practicing every night, trying to have another ld.

fast forward to this afternoon:
I was able to sleep in today, so i wake up around noon, disappointed that i had still had not had a lucid dream. I get up, do what needs to be done around the house and go back up to my room and lay down (I wasn't feeling too well). I thought to myself that this would be a good time to try a WBTB (I think thats what it would be called). I doze off and wake up a few times due to the poor sleeping conditions, since it is mid day. So i doze off, and wake up yet again, or so i thought. I was laying in my bed watching pre-season football, when all of a sudden it cuts to porn. Now I like porn as much as the next guy does, but this makes me kind of mad because Im a huge football fan, and just wanted to watch some ball. I then look next to me an there is a garden snake in my bed with me. I'm not afraid of the snake, it seems to be a pet to me. I look at the foot of my bed and it didn't look how it did when I was laying there before i dozed off earlier, so i think that's kind of weird. I look back at the snake, and it has became hostile, and look like its about to lunge at me. I start getting a little nervous and think, say "wait, i dont have a snake, I'm dreaming." I then slooooowly roll out of my bed, but as i do, my dream fades... I wake up excited, but at the same time a little disappointed that I didn't stay lucid very long, but i blame this on my sleeping conditions. Also, maybe it was the fact that I forgot to try to stabilize my dream?

sorry for the long post. I'm pretty sure this was a DILD?
