he all , i have had a few tiny experiences that lead me to believe i am getting closer to lucid dreaming, but i was wondering if people who have allready achieved ludidity would agree
my first was , iwas trying to do wild (when i went to bed, i have heard this is nearly immposible at this time) i did not know at the time though. anyway i lay there waiting for sleep paralysis, i had no felings like virations or anything else other than when i tried to swallow, mt tounge moved but my jaw was stuck ! that scared the crap out of me (lol) and i woke up.
second was, i had been listening to a binaural cd and i fell asleep then suddenly i heard the “is this a dream, am i dreaming voice”(on the cd) clear as day and it woke me up, so i turned round to go back to sleep, straight away i saw this landscape image and before i realised, i had told myself this is a dream, suddenly everything started to look crisp as if i was focusing in more than i can with my rl eyes, but as quick as i was aware of this i woke up, i was not exited or anything, but maybe i was too shallow to bring it to life
third was a normal dream (that my girlfreind tuned into a 6ft killer chimp(not too far from reality 
) but i was following the story well, but just before i woke up i ended up in a public restroom stood at the sinks and i was stood next to cobb (DiCaprio`s character in inception)(cool i want him as a dream tutor) and he asked me if i remembered to do a reality check, and for some reason i thought to myself i cant do a reality check before i get lucid then i suddenly woke up
do you think i am making progress or am i just tricking myself 
thanks for any help
