Entry: My first lucid dream

I had my first portion of a lucid dream the other night. It was rather startling. I'd known that it was possible for years, but never have I actually had one. Granted, it only lasted for a few minutes (and I mean dream minutes, not ACTUAL minutes). I just remember suddenly wondering if I was dreaming or not. I tested it by trying to read a sign. The sign said "SONY" on it. I looked away and then back, it then said something else that was completely incomprehensible. I realized then that I was dreaming. It didn't last long after that. Drat!! I'm wondering if this is something I should try to cultivate.
