I think i might have had my first LD. I'm not sure about it, since it was my first one and there are some things that make me have doubts about it being a genuine LD or just a dream about being lucid.
I was actually going for the 90 minute technique to boost my dream recall. My alarm went off after 4.5 hours of sleep, but i had no recollection of any dream. I decided to continue, set my alarm 90 minutes later and observe any hypnagogia that might appear while falling asleep again. I remember seeing flickering stars while lying in bed. Realizing that this might be the hypnagogic state, i focused on them and observed them. Suddenly i felt an intensifying sensation, followed by what felt like being thrown out of my body. Suddenly i was in my garden. I realized that i was in a LD and started to try some things. I tried to fly, which worked after 2 tries, tried to run extremely fast, also worked after 2 times. When i failed at something, i reassured myself that this is a dream and that anything is possible when i genuinely believe that it's possible. I also tried to ask a question to my subconcious. Don't know why, but i asked "why am i here?". For some reason i didn't think of any other question to ask. I got no response, though, even after 2 tries.
After this, my LD started looking more and more like a normal dream, where i'm just going along with the "story" that's going on at the time. But at some point, after a dissapointment in the dream, i just said "i'm going to fly some more" and flew off again. Tried to fly at supersonic speed, also worked after the second time and i rocketed through the universe, satellites and planets passing by. Short after the amazing boost of speed, i automatically slowed down and found myself in a miniature version of the universe, with planets the size of big balloons around me. Then i woke up.
So yeah, this sounds like a LD right...? I've read that everything you see on a LD is supposed to be extremely lifelike and colorful, but i didn't notice anything of that. I'm having some doubts if this really was a LD.
Please tell me that i've had my first LD
