Thread: First Lucid (Omg!)

So, I've had a few kinda lucids before, but this one was on a whole other level. I've been trying to Lucid dream since August 29 and it's now May 16. After a couple of False awakenings, I checked the clock by my bed twice, and at one point it had read, like, 62:25. Yeah, sure. Also, It had changed when I looked back.

I ran around outside, and within about ten seconds, I had turned night was turned into day. Some big tank looking things were driving around, and I hid from them, but thought to myself "don't think they're going to attack you, because then they will". I realized I had nothing to run from but hid a few more seconds, through a turret behind me, and tried to fly. I didn't end up flying, but I hovered for a few seconds until I tried to move forward. The dream started to fade, but I rubbed my hands for like two seconds, and it was totally better. Eventually I started to run down a street with a bunch of portals on the pavement (the one's from the game "Portal"). I don't think I was fully lucid, but getting there. Eventually the dream faded again and I forgot to rub my hands. I think the whole thing lasted 4 minutes tops, and that's IN the dream, but my concept of time even in the dream could have been different.

What do you think? Any ideas on how I'm progressing?

Edit: Is sleep paralysis common, and does lucid dreaming increase the chance of it? I know that it shouldn't be anything to be afraid of, but it's just not something I want to experience.
