My first lucid dream

The first experience i ever had was just recently actually, i kept dreaming that i was waking up and just checking the clock, then i'd go back to sleep, wake up a few minutes later and check the clock again. (I thought this was all actually happening while it was going on). Finally i tried the clock method of reality checking. sure enough, the clocks were off and the date was wrong on my computer. I remember i was incredibly excited, i was finally lucid dreaming. So i started to think of what i wanted to do, and what i wanted to do was talk to my friend. So, sure enough she started coming into focus in my room, i couldn't believe it was actually happening. Just as quickly as the dream came, i woke up. My heart was racing like i'd just ran across the country. Excitedly i woke my roommate up and told him about it. He just rolled over and when back to sleep. It was still early in the morning the clock said, so i got back into bed and went back to sleep. when i finally woke up for good, i asked Jordon (my roommate) about waking him up. Turns out i just had a dream where i was lucid dreaming. how's that for trippy? i however, am not discouraged by the lack of having a "true" lucid dream. i just figure we all need to start somewhere, so i have my start. Now it's time for the real thing!
