Failed WILD leads to strange induction of LD

**captain ahab** · 07-26-2006 02:32 PM

So I woke up 5 hours after going to bed, stayed up for an hour, then tried to WILD, but failed because I kept having to swallow spit and it was keeping my body awake or something. Eventually I gave up and just tried to go to sleep, but that didn't work so well either. I spent what felt like several hours trying to fall asleep.

None of that is the imortant part. After I did fall asleep I had a dream. In this dream my brother went to sleep and had a dream. I was able to see what he was dreaming. Eventually he found out about that ability and we decided that I should try to WILD, probably because we were trying to see if he could see my dreams too or something. I eventually got tired of trying to WILD (in the dream) and told him it wasn't working. He said that I was already dreaming. I couldn't really remember any reality checks, so I thought of an inventive method to determine if I was dreaming. There was a tall, narrow glass cylinder in the room, filled with stuffed animals. I had never seen it before, but I said, "If I turn this around and that one that we can see the back of is a caveman, then I am dreaming". I turned the cylinder, and sure enough, the animal was a caveman. Upon discovering that I was dreaming, I beleived I had succeeded in WILDing (in the attempt I made in the dream). I couldn't remember any of the things that I had wanted to do in a lucid dream, so I ran through a closed door and did some other stuff that I forget. Eventually I though "Oh shit, I'm think I'm waking up", and I did wake up, immediately.

Since the only reason I became lucid was that a DC (my brother) told me, I think my subconscious was throwing me a bone. This was basically my first LD since my first LD (a.k.a. my 2nd LD). I was wondering If alot of other people have trouble remembering things that they want to do in a lucid dream.

Man that is just bizarre. How Cool. Yet it is very unlikely it will happen again. How great are the chances of a DC telling you your Dreaming again?

And yeah I remember a Lucid Dream more than half a year ago where I was overjoyed that I was Lucid and then struck numb by the question: ''well...now what?''

In this Particular dream I spontaniously became critical of my surroundings ( It was a Dreamversion of the computer room I am Now in actually

) I did 2 RCs. the first was trying to read my PC's clock, looking away and reading it again. 3 times in a row the time changed Drastically! yet I wasn't Fully Sure i was dreaming yet ( So Stubborn huh?

) So I went to my second and favourite RC: I tried to stick my hand THROUGH the wall. My left hand wouldn't go through but it felt Strange touching the wall and my right hand went straigh through it.

Then I was Like ''YAY! I'm dreaming and I know it...and and...erm like...now what to do?''
Not being able to remember my plans from waking life I decided to do something that was alot of fun anyway: I jumped straight through the wall and suddenly found myself being hurled into fuck knows where. And the next second I was flyiing over my own neighborhood in some very very strange seat. It was a real Rush. Such a Rush that it immidiately woke me up...But it woke me up with a big smile

Let me give you a good advice on What to do once you gain Lucidity:
DON'T think ''let's rule this world'' straight away unless you're already very well experienced in dreamcontrol.

Start simple: Upon lucidity Just calm down, sit back and look around you. Just observe the Dreamworld in all it's beauty. Look at it and become aware of your bizarre surroundings. You will find yourself in awe once you closely study the detailed and surreal dreamworld.

Keep doing that upon Lucidity untill you feel you can move on to train yourself in some dreamcontrol. Take one step at a time.
