This is the first time that i have ever inducted lucid dreaming by thought. I do not really know how else to explain it, so ill start from the beginning. So usually i would go to sleep around 11 or a bit before. This time i could not go to sleep because i had taken a nap earlier that day. So i just layed down for a good 15 minutes, changing sleeping positions often as i could not get comfortable. After awhile i started getting those really random thoughts, but slipped out of the oncoming sleep. So as i laid there trying to sleep i soon opened my eyes to find myself still in my room as if nothing had happened, but there was this strange ambient to everything. Soon my mom and sister came into my room so i pretended to be asleep. My room has a door to a porch and that is where they went, closing the door behind them. They were outside talking and for some reason i had a lot of saliva in my mouth and wanted to spit it out somewhere. So i looked for a cup or something on the desk in my room and since it was dark i was just feeling around my desk and accidently knocked over a coke can, that for some reason was in my room and i never remember it being it there. So i guess i made noise and my mom was coming back into my room so i just spit it out on the floor and went back to pretending i was sleeping, but my mom came in while i was halfway to the bed and she just said "you can lock the door now." so i just put my head back down and closed my eyes. After a few seconds i felt i had a bit of drool on my pillow and opened my eyes. I was truely awake now and really confused as to what just happened. After a bit of thinking i knew that i was lucid dreaming and was freaking out because of how real it was. I guess you can call me an ameteur of sorts, because for the past 3 years or so i have been researching lucid dreaming and practicing a bit. I never really stuck to a routine, but here and there i would write down a few dreams. So i know what the feeling is and i am used to vividness, but this time i was pretty freaked out. So after that i just thought to myself, "i am going to try to induce this one more time." And i did it, i thought to myself i am going to lucid dream and i did it. As i felt my body slowly drift in numbness, i could literally feel my mind connect to a lucid dreaming "plane" from an awake "plane" and as it passed to the lucid "plane" i could feel this weird slow drift like seperation from awake to completely lucid. What i had tried had worked and i was lucid in my dream, i knew i was lucid because of what i had just done. I thought to myself, seconds ago i was awake and know i am in my mind, somewhere fictional but i feel awake, as if i had just created new time. Anyway this is the first time i wake from a lucid dream and induce it myself. That strange feeling of being on the fringe of awake and lucid was pretty weird, but i enjoyed the experience. I do not know, i have told a few people and the closest way i could explain it was by connecting my hands, connecting the fingers between the other hands', those are supposed to be the "planes" i talked about, and when they do connect i passed from one of them to the other and they disconnected. Well that is it.
