Thread: How i became lucid this morning, what technique would it be considered as

Ok so i fell asleep for about 5 hours and i woke up. As i fell back asleep, i was like half asleep and i saw a dream forming. So I worked really hard on entering the dream and i did! I was in my friends basement but it looked foggy so i spun around and rubbed my hands together and it became very vivid. So then i was in a lucid dream!!!! My first one too. I dont know what technique this would be considered as. Part WBTB because i was asleep for 5 hours tehn i woke up and went back to bed. Maybe part WILD because i entered the dream being fully lucid, but i didnt count or go into SP or HI or anything. It was quite confusing but it seemed to work perfectly. What do you think it would be???

I'd say WBTB and WILD but.. whatever technique it was.. it worked and you got your first lucid!

Congratulations! May you have many many more!

I have to say the same thing, it's a WBTB/WILD!

Congrants on the lucid and welcome to Dreamviews!

Wow, congratulations! WBTB rules, it works best for me. I'mma try tonight! Thanks!

Dreamchaining/reentry.

Most of the 'newer' techniques I've seen are either based off WILD's or are just worded differently. So WILD is basically the base for most techniques.
Good job, by the way.

Yep, all of the above, dream reentry, WBTB, WILD, that is about the single most succesful technique for me. I wake up, if i don't have to go to the washroom, i stay extremely still, and within 30 secs im fully conscience in a dream. But if i wake up and move, even the slightest bit, it won't work, for me at least.

its a DEILD.

right?
