I finally did it! ; W ;

A few of you already know that I've been trying to intentionally have a lucid dream for months. What's a lucid dream? Simply put, it's a dream where you're completely aware that you're dreaming, and you're able to control anything that happens. Some people have them naturally (lucky bastards...), but I've been working at it for some time. There are a variety of techniques to use. I'll post resources at the end of this journal.
Anyways, last night I made another attempt. The technique I've been using basically involves letting your body fall asleep and undergo sleep paralysis while your mind stays concious. It's a tricky thing to do, and I've always fallen asleep or have become distracted before the crucial moment comes. Last night was different though. I DID end up falling asleep again, but it must have been very close to when my body did. I immediately was "deposited" into my backyard, and I thought, 'Hey, wasn't I just in bed a few minutes ago?... OH SNAP. THIS IS A DREAM!'
I didn't want to go too crazy with creating and doing stuff since I would've probably lost lucidity, so instead I made myself fly casually around the neighbourhood which was pretty thrilling in itself. I've always had trouble flying in normal dreams, but this time it was effortless. I still remember feeling those little dips in my stomach whenever I made a dive, and it felt wonderful n//n
I'm going to keep trying. I have heard that once you manage your first lucid dream the following ones because easier, because you know what they feel like. I really hope it's true! I HAVE had one or two lucid dreams in the past, but they occured right in the middle of a normal dream, and were far too brief. With any luck I'll be having adventures of my own, which may or may not involve copious amounts of unmentionable things ://D *is shot*

It isn't natural though and they usually start within my bed and I awake up and then I realize, "wait I'm still sleeping" cuz it's usually hella dark and my light switches never work. (weird right?)
But OMG-- I'm SO JEALOUS, I've never had success with the "WILD" technique. D:> (I've wanted to try it for Astral Projection, too) --.
Did you do it before bed last night, or did you do it while napping in the morning? When did you try again? :O
Did you manage to stay Lucid all night, or did you wake up and write everything down or something? :O
btw.. if you happen to write stories based on any sexy/awesome inflation/rubbery lucid dreams, I'll be glad to read them.. :D
Just had my GF trance me so hopefully I'll have better success with lucid dreaming and astral projection..
