I woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to write some notes about the dream I had just had, but I didn't open my eyes and I only imagined or dreamed of writing, even though I thought I actually did it, and while I felt my hand almost physically taking the pen I kept seeing dream scenes. |

Those little success are so important. Dwell on those images throughout the day and build on them at night, right? |

The more I gaze....the more I crave to see
When you next stand at cliff's edge....will you finally learn to fly?
This night I had a dream about swimming in a pool, after a wile i felt pain in my feet so I stopped for checking them and discovered that they were all violet and frozen. I started rubbing them to warm them up and in the meantime I realized I was underwater and I could breathe, I stopped for a moment to feel the sensation of breathing underwater, but then instead of wondering if that was a dream I went ahead accepting the fact that I could breathe, as if it were normal. |

I'm not an LD expert yet, but I had a couple of dreams like this that felt almost like an LD before my first LD. If it seemed significantly different and real to you then you probably were almost there. From what I read, it seems that we think of LD as a discrete state, but there's a continuum of states between wakefulness, trance, LD, and sleep. At least that's how I view it. |

Congrats. Does sound like you were close to realizing it. Often times one gets a few close calls before it actually happens. It's kind of common I think, what you described about dreaming of taking the notes instead of doing it. Sometimes we wake wanting to take notes but start falling back to sleep before actually doing it. And then start dreaming of taking the notes instead. I've done that plenty of times. Cool how you were aware of your body in the bed at the same time as you were seeing the dreams. It does sound like could have been the beginning of a WILD. Or maybe dream reentry better describes it. |
