So after 3 nights of all this i had my first lucid dream.
I figured my dream recall was pretty good, both these nights I've remembered 2 dreams without effort so last night I tried the FILD (Finger induced) method with great success.

Technically I had 2 lucid dreams, I woke up during the night right after a dream and lay, doing the finger technique. Next thing i know i pass a nose reality check and feel this odd tingling or a "whoosh" over my body in bed, pull back the covers and stand up. It didn't feel normal, it felt... slightly odd but I remember thinking "I've felt this feeling before"
At this point i lost control and woke up. I called it a night and went to sleep.

Woken up in the morning by family leaving for work (my day off ) I try again, i knew this might not work, i was significantly more awake this time. I say to myself "in 5 mins time i will do a reality check" over and over and what do you know, I pass again.

Determined not to lose it this time I use a method I read on here to keep it going, effectively trying out all 5 senses one at a time. After doing this I think it would be fun to make my blanket smell like strawberries... this works to a small extent lol... it was a sort of weak smell but was surely there.
It's night-time and I don't want my first lucid to consist of me getting eaten so i close the curtains, look the other way, look back and its daytime. This causes a slight loss of control and i find it hard to move myself (any advice for if this happens again?) I shout at myself that this is "my f**king dream" but seem to have no luck. In an attempt to get out of this state i fly (without opening the window?) outside, and start shouting, about how "im freakin lucid" I do several passes of my house before flying to my first school (must have time skipped since it was almost instant)
I must have been losing control here because i decided to try and give myself "super strength" to break a branch off a tree. Rather than give me super strength the branch seemed to become all moldy as if it was trying to give me an excuse to break.
I fly for about 10 more seconds then crash into a roof, I try flying again but now cant.

I decide i need a Dream guide (I read about this somewhere) so summon a couple of DC's I see them running towards me all wearing turquoise.
I pick one to be my guide (my plan is to make this DC recurring).
This is where I lose control completely, one of the DC's (one that i didn't even pick!) starts talking to me about insanely boring stuff, about how she will be working with my dad. I notice shes got one hell of a mono-brow.
I Lie down and instantly think "big mistake" as i feel dragged back to reality.

I wake up and hop on here!
