I was trying to get to sleep because I wasn't feeling very well, and I started to weave in and out of sleep. I was getting very heavy, and I imagined I was taking some safety glasses on and off, which obviously aren't real. The room started to spin around very quickly, and then I heard a bang on my door which worried me and so I promptly woke myself up.
This could have easily been a normal dream experience, but I have a funny feeling I was experiencing hypnogagia for several reasons - one, I was pretty aware of the situation around be at the time; two, I could decide when to wake myself up at will; three, the experiences are just as you might find in typical hynogagic imagery; and four, it was just after I had gotten up at about 6:30 am or so, which is optimum time for lucid dreaming.
If this was indeed the first step toward getting into a lucid dream, then I have to be happy with that. Lucid dreaming simply sounds so damn cool! Also, I think this means I can say I've officially started another task, that being number 3 - have a lucid dream. ;)
