So it's about 2 am when I began to fall asleep. I have been trying the WBTB and WILD tech but haven't had much success.

I found a CD by Steve LaBerge with a lucid dreaming trance on it. I listened to it right before bed and I don't know if it is what did the trick but it worked wonders.

Fall asleep directly after the track finishes, but when I start dreaming the phrase from the induction "who is aware?" is flowing through my mind still. And of course the next thing through my mind is "I am aware..." as i realized I am dreaming.

It was my first lucid so I remembered to stay clam and take it slow.. Took a look at my hands and was amazed by how much detail there was as I repeated "stabilize lucidity". I convinced my DC wife that I was dreaming. (We both have been trying to lucid for a while so I guess my subconscious would let her grasp the concept) but couldn't convince anyone else.

Went to a door and imagined that anything could be behind it and the opened the door slowly... And was presented with the Grand Canyon. I told myself that I would have a magic wand in my pocket then I reached in and pulled it out. Tried setting fire to a tree with it and it worked.. I tried to levitate a box but couldn't do so... Tried to picture somebody behind a door and opening it to see they were there, but nothing.

It seemed about an hour and a half that I was in the lucid then I was awoken by the intercom calling for somebody in my dorm..

Stayed up for about 30 minutes and fell asleep. By this time it was 11:30.. Start dreaming again and "who is aware?" ran through my mind. I was now lucid. As I continue to enter the building I was heading towards I feel a "being" grab my and pull me the other way. Nearly scared me to death by I realized it was all a dream. The dream scene was clear still, although I had lost the ability to move. (as is I was paralyzed laying on the floor of my dream) As I looked at my hands they were just blurs, but the dream was clear. I woke up again after a few minutes is sleep paralysis.

Is it normal to partly be able to control your dream, but not fully?

Should you be able to wake up from a lucid and recall the whole thing?

Any idea what happened in the second lucid and is it normal?

Nonetheless, I was excited to have my first true lucids!
