So you indeed were lucid, great job!

PercyLucid,

Thanks for your response. I am pretty excited, especially to have had one happen so quickly. I am just worried that it was beginners luck, and it might be hard to reproduce. The one thing that I have going for me is I have a pretty good Wake Back to Sleep schedule. If I go to bed around 12:30, my wife wakes up at 5:00, and I wake up to help get her ready for work. I am currently not working and going to school online, so I can go back to bed for a while, so I am hoping to be able to reproduce this more, and maybe increase my ability to recognize my dreams and be able to do it without the WBTB routine. One followup, it seems like toward the end of my dream I lost control, or at least I stopped making decisions on what would happen next, is this common?
