last night, I remembered 6 dreams. One of them was lucid. It started up as me waking up in my bed, still dark out. I looked at my clock and saw 5:03 am. I looked away and thought “wait… i remember reading that you should look twice just in case” so I looked again… and BEHOLD! It had changed! My facial expression was smiliar to: 
but suddenly… It started fading. I woke up for real later on. So I was wondering, do most first time lucid dreams (yes, this was my first lucid dream) start out like that? You know, only last a few seconds? Does this mean getting lucid will be easier after this? I’m thinking of trying that “eyelid” technique later tonight. thanks.
At first Lucid Dreams are short, They can also end by:
Extreme feelings: Cough usually happiness. Like and overwhelmingly feeling of joy lol.
The sudden stop of REM (well at least I found out that that’s the case with me.)
It was about the same for me…
I’ve been working at a farm and I came home for about a month ago and my holiday started. Like the first night I was home I dreamed that I was on the farm and talking with a friend, and that was when I thought “Hmm, wait a minute. I’m not working here right now…”. And yeah, I became a bit too excited cause I knew that I could do whatever I want in a lucid dream. So well, I thought I could try to get Amanda Bynes (this hot actress) into the dream. And yes, it worked! But then I became even more excited and woke up…
Had another ld like that later but the same thing happened. And that’s why I’m here now, looking for info about staying in the dream.
heh congradulations you! (i love your ava btw)
wonderful to hear.
many more will follow i am sure. (long ones though)
congradulations.
my first ld was very similar, and yes they get easier and
easier as you practice and stick to it.
keep up the good work

(do you have a dream journal btw?)
yeah I record all my dreams, even the 2 second long ones.
Thanks about my pic thing! hahha I took one day when i was reaaal bored.
perhaps start an online dj?
heh i am going arround telling everyone about them!
they are good stuff (i even use mine sometimes! lol)
online dj’s have there benefits, and writing them out for a second time (if you’ve got a paper counterpart) helps you to recognize dream signs and learn more about your dreams (there are a few in my journal i do not remember!)
best of luck
