    I held off on posting this dream from the night before last since I had no idea what to make of it. I messaged Sageous to get his expertise and what he said brought back the rush of excitement that I had when I woke up that morning. The short version: his opinion was that it was an LD during NREM/Delta sleep and he knew exactly what I was talking about from the description below...

    (Written morning of 10/10/13 in offline dream journal)

    101013*

    I went from vibrations to a view of my room. I doubt it for a moment and wondered if I had slightly open my left eye IWL but then I focused on my left eye and noticed it was completely closed, both eyes were closed. I think me focusing on my actual eyes started waking me up but I was quickly back in the vibrations and this time I try to imagine a scene I wanted to come into but it did not work and I ended up in a void. This time was very weird it was like I was "inside" & interacting with HH's instead of just hearing them or having them happen to what would normally feel like my normal sleeping body. It definitely was the dream feeling being in the void but dreaming about HH's and experiencing them in a very different way while realizing it was a dream and not just the prelude to a dream. Just floating there, relaxing enjoying the experience. It is hard to explain. But I woke up very excited and just have a pep in my step today. I don't get that from regular HH's. After my wake back to bed a couple of ideas in my head for a possible mantra to use but maybe it's too long. I also got an idea to pull the focus away from my body in order to bring on sleep quicker. It was basically focusing on the dream world as being a vast bubble just above & in front of my forehead just beyond my sleeping body. After I woke up from that I continued to attempt to wild and had an incredible number of regular HH's all quite interesting but did not take me directly into a dream that I recall. Dream before my wake back to bed involved one or two other people bringing dreams to me to compare to see if they were related to mine. recall was quite foggy but I don't think that made me lucid.

      Wow, that's incredible!

      I very much like all transitions and unusual things. And this sounds like something unusual. (lol, as if LDs are not unusual enough). Very nice, congrats.

      I have also heard about moving your consiousness outside of the body. Like pretend, that part of our consiousness is in some object that's accross the room and we are looking at ourselves from that objects perspective. Or imagine ourselves doing some activity away from the body.

      Also, when trying to exit body by levitating out, imagine as if you were already hovering above your body. Place your consiousness few inches above your head.

      Have you seen sageous's thread http://www.dreamviews.com/beyond-dre...lta-sleep.html ?

      Happy dreams

      Thank you!
      Like pretend, that part of our consciousness is in some object that's across the room and we are looking at ourselves from that objects perspective.
      I didn't even make that connection here but love Lidybug's Clearlight Perspective thread and have definitely been practicing imagining looking at myself from many different vantages due to that thread and Sageous' recommendation to check out that thread in his fundamentals q&a thread...I took it as one way to do his RRC. I forgot to mention that his opinion was also that the first part where I thought I might have opened my left eye was possibly a dreamlet instead of an FA.

      I need to check out that thread in full. When I first saw something about that thread, it didn't sound like something for me since I had this idea that interfering with NREM wouldn't produce much that I was interested in at this point and that it might affect my quality of sleep. I think I either scanned through bits of it only or just saw it float by on my profile page where I see the first sentence or so of what my DV friends are posting.
      I also never added any color coding to this dj post but...ah...too late. Anyone reading can figure out where the lucid part is. I had another WILD this morning!!

      Really cool experience, fogelbise! These NREM lucids are such a different kind of dream experience.

      Do you have any sense of what state of mind/practices/etc. might have helped bring this about?

      I think that I mostly just lucked out and stumbled into it. I am also not sure how soon I would be able to duplicate it since it seems to be something that can take a lot of practice to get there intentionally as
      Sageous mentioned. If anything helped nudge the luck my way, it could have been SSILD or my now more frequent attempts to WILD (I used to stay away from going for WILDs but I am attempting to make it a regular part of my bag of tools).
