A brilliant,. thanks!

So.. I had a very strong lucid dream last night, at first I did the usual larking around but then I calmed down and just repeated to myself 'this is a lucid dream', which seemed to make me very aware.
I then shouted out loud a few times 'increase lucidity!!!' And I also span around,. I may be wrong but these didn't really seem to do much.
Finally,. I tried to feel/become aware of the position of my physical body so that I could 'step out of it', this was a complete flop. I think in fact doing this made me feel like I was going to wake up,. So I repeated steps 2 and 3,. Which again didn't do much.
Perhaps I'm expecting too much too soon or maybe I'm doing it wrong but my experience is leading me to believe that a LD is no more than a dream.
I think I'm having 1 LD a week though so I will continue with the experiment.

All the best :-)
