i'm new here, but had a lucid dream within 6 days

hi, im new and just wanted to tell you i had my very 1st lucid dream within the 6th day of constantly trying. believe it or not i became lucid by wilding and then doing a reality check. but i soon became non lucid after a while. heres what happened:

I wilded into a lucid dream. i was in my room. i remember people saying that you could be in a dream even though you supposedly wake up. so i did a reality check by plugging up my nose and checking if i could still breathe. i could :panic: woot :panic: . my lucidity was about a 6 out of 10. well anyways i remember leaving the room and walking towards the front door. i remember my putting my shoes on ( right, shoes in a dream. lol) when my mom called me. I was about to leave too. so heres where i probably messed up. i responded to her as if that was my real mom and i went to go see her. she told me to take the trash out. thats when i think the dream turned into a ND. can someone tell me why the dream turned into a ND. thx

can someone tell me how to record my Ld count under my name like how other people do it.

Congrats on the first LD. I think you should not go along with the dream plot but rather try to make your own dream plot, and know firmly that you can do whatever and you don't need to be lead by anyting in the dream. Also, after doing a reality check, I would also try stabilizing the dream, in other words bring all 5 senses into the dream, feel the walls around you, feel the ground, smell the air, look at your surroundings, and listen to everything around you to engage yourself in the dream.

thx. ok and i have another question. how do i show my lucid count like you did under your name?

Good work on the first lucid dream, I myself had my first LD in the first 6 days as well, when i joined. To add a LD, go to Profile, About Me. Look under, "About lilfrank101" then you should see Lucid Dream with a pencil next to it, click that and then change it :)
