Thread: First attempt at WILDing

I didn't feel like I was lucid because I didn't think do do anything after I realized that I was dreaming. I didn't interact with the dream environment at all. I just didn't do what I was planning on doing once I had a lucid dream. I didn't think to myself "what should I do now that I'm lucid?" I just sat in the restaurant and i was laughing with the DCs about how weird it was that I knew I was dreaming. I didn't feel very self-aware, and for some reason I didn't really think that I could do anything other than just stay where I was. So maybe this was a false-lucid, I'm not entirely sure.

Yeah you're right, it was a DILD. But I think I increased the chance of having a LD by trying to have a WILD..if that's possible? Haha thanks for the help!

Yes, WILDing does increase your chance for a DILD. Everything you do that makes you think about LD and sets your intent gives you better chance to have lucid dream.

Being lucid and having good awareness and daytime memory accessible are 2 different things.

You can be lucid, but your awareness can be anywhere from very low to very high. Then it depends on your level of awareness if you remember what you wanted to do. Also interacting with dream or taking control are separate things from being lucid.

So if you feel you realized you are dreaming, congtratulate yourself. Job well done. You have achieved lucidity. Now, you can work on getting it again, but with more awareness. Happy dreams.
