Last night I woke up at 5:00 and had one hour left until my alarm clock for school went off. I went back to sleep and the next thing I remember I was on the back steps outside my house looking down at my old Beagle named "Daisy". Suddenly I realized, "Hey, she died a few years ago, this must be a dream!".

What an incredible feeling! Wow it is like I was inside my own mind. It ended very quickly, despite my efforts to stay calm and stabalize it. But my old dog Daisy looked absolutley real, just as I remember her with large tumors on her stomach right before she died.

As soon as I realized I was dreaming I tried to spin to strengthen the environment, but I never really saw anything other than Daisy and it faded away. Is that typical for a first LD?

I think I tried to dream spin too fast, perhaps I should have just started running!
