There are so many threads like this one and alot of people probably find them very boring and this one is probably no exception but anyway, if someone reads this and answers it would be cool.

For the last say, maybe 3 weeks i have been kinda half-trying to get lucid dreams every now and then but not really putting any real effort into it. Not that i dont find lucid dreaming interesting enough but i guess im just lazy. Anyway this past night i was not thinking about lucid dreaming nor did i try to achieve one but as i woke up in the morning and then decided i needed some more sleep i slipped into a regular dream at first in wich i after some time realised that i was dreaming. When i realised it i felt some strange feeling, very hard to describe. Anyway, i then tried the spinning method as i've read about and wow, just the spinning felt very cool haha. But when done spinning i still couldn't really see anything, everything just felt weird. But after a couple of spinning around's it got better. The last time i spun around i remember thinking: damn, i hope nobody comes into my room now while im spinning around with my arms stretched out, that would look silly =) it felt so real but still i "knew" i was dreaming.

Well, after done spinning i now ended up in my livingroom and everything felt real just a little bit blurry or so. But now i was lucid (i guess?) I remember walking around in my house, then looking down at my legs thinking my pants looked liked they do in real life and then i met my mother and she asked me what i was doing and why i was so weird and this is were i got a bit scared/excitied so i woke up =/ I was still very excited about it all after i woke up. The lucid part in the dream felt only like 20-30 seconds though but still it was cool hehe.

Now i wonder, am i close to having longer and better lucid dreams? did your first lucid dream felt anything alike this or so?

Btw, it's because of the great movie Waking Life i started reading about lucid dreams on the net and eventually trying to have them. This seems to be a great forum with a lot of information, take care.
