It happened again last night!

It felt like it started seconds after I fell asleep, I was driving my car up a muddy hill, slipping and slipping, I was chased by something or was in a hurry.
Suddenly im outside of the car in the middle of the hill, its still slippy, i almost fall down the hill which looks more like a vertical wall than a hill from "up there" I see my car plummet down as if it was made of papier mache.

Im standing on a small stone where I found foothold and balance in the middle of the mud, as I look down, I realise that I fell asleep recently, and decide to peform an RC (my training is starting to work, yay!)
As I reach for my nose to pinch it and breath it is as if my face is not there, I can never reach it or feel it, really strange.
I decide to jump from the cliff to fly again, but as I jump things get blurry, I try to spin but things get blurrier, and I desperatly try and remember the other things to do to make dreams clearer, but as I do I start to feel the sensation of my arms and my body back in my own bed and eventually opened my eyes.

I was probably lucid for 10 seconds, and it was the same great feeling as the first time, however now as I've experienced it twice I remember the first dream being just as short, uncontrollable and blurry.
I really need to gain control, I get way too excited, jumping off cliffs 5 seconds into the dream is probably not the best way to stay lucid?

Welcome to my DJ, here i'll be posting only my lucid dreams, as I've got enough headaches writing my neverending "normal" dreams down IRL, any comments or tips, be sure to send a PM my way!

My first lucid dream:

2 days prior:
A friend briefly tells me about lucid dreaming after we watched a documentary on Chaos theory, and I find it quite interesting but left it after a brief thought.

The night of:
I was sleep depraved after spending the night at a friends house on his extremely uncomfortable couch and decided to take a brief nap to recover as I got back home.
I lay face down in my bed tired beyond my mind, the light was on and the blinds were wide open, yet I managed to fall asleep quite briefly (I think)

The dream:
Im suddenly back in Sweden in the dining area of my house, it's mid day and light is shining through all of the windows, somehow i realise that this is not real, cause I still somewhat fuzzy remembered that I was sleeping, I can't really place why that thought hit me, but the second it did I started floating, as if I was falling in slow motion, It was the exact same sensation that you get when floating completley relaxed in water.

However I was a bit troubled because it was hard to breath, as I drew in air it felt like my chest was being pressurized and it felt as if my lung capacity was down to 10% or something.

As the floating began I started realising I was actually in control, so i started flapping my arms and floated throughout the room and and into the neigbouring living room, as I did this I felt really happy, and was thinking over and over again "I'm controlling my dream this is awsome!" When I reached the middle of the living room I decided I wanted to drive a car, so I started imagining that I was inside of a racing car, belted down to a racing seat, however as I did this the dream faded away and I woke up, I think this was related to the "pressure" applied on my chest throughout the sensation that made it hard to breath and worried me and caught my thoughts a bit.

Post dream:
I woke up smiling, and started googling what had just happened, and eventually found this forum and registered to try and get some clarity and perhaps experience that fantastic sensation again.

I also realised that the trouble of breathing I was experiencing probably was because my face was partailly mashed into a pillow and both my hands were under my chest adding pressure to it.

The details of the dream that struck me as odd was the fact that it was as if recorded with the same technique they use for old series such as "the days of our lives" it was fuzzy, dim and partially saturated and a bit to bright.
