WILD Dream Journal

By far the most stable I've been inside of a dream. I'll dive right into it.

I experienced a light amount of imagery and a very small transition which fooled me. My transitions in the past had been very strong and lasted over 5 seconds every time. When I transitioned into this dream the falling sensation lasted for less then a second, it was fast and convinced me I had tried to stabilize my dream to quickly. I remained still in my bed and continued my WILD technique. Weird things started happening, I had a full field of vision with my eyes closed. At the time it seemed normal. As i realized i could see i thought some how I had opened my eyes, I closed them quickly and continued WILD. After thinking about what had happen I opened my eyes and got up in my bed. I looked around and everything seemed normal. I had the feeling that i had waken my self up. As my gaze lowered to the floor i realized there were things missing. Things that would be impossible to move as quickly as they had. I began becoming suspicious. I thought to myself, this seems real but there is no way those boxes could have been moved without me waking up. As i thought this i looked at my hand and began trying to push through it, at first nothing was happening. I tried to will my finger through my hand and i had a slight bulge in my left palm but nothing like i had experienced before when doing reality checks in dreams. At this point I abandoned the hand check and was convinced it was a dream. I covered my mouth and nose and found myself breathing naturally and I began walking into the next room. I walked in the hallway and found my girlfriend walking towards me, she had a very blank look on her face. I continued past her into the bathroom and was planning to teleport through the mirror.

At this point I paused and remembered to take time to make a point to my mind how dreams felt. I took in my surroundings and noted the feelings i had while i was non lucid and noted how real things can seem. I thought to myself it is in the details. I continued going through what i experienced and re stated to my mind how real a dream can feel. After feeling like i covered everything i I walked back to my girlfriend and told her my name very loudly. She just gave me a blank stare. I began to notice that even though i thought it was my girlfriend the details in her face did not match my recollection perfectly. The shape of her face was slightly different and many other minor details. I said this is my dream it is monday morning. She continued to stare at me. I bellowed very loudly and clearly and said repeat after me, then I stated my name, the day and said this is a dream. She repeated everything i said and I turned away. I said very loudly as I was walking I summon my dream guide. Nothing happened. I then thought I would teleport to him through the bathroom mirror. As I thought of this I wanted to show my GF how I was able to teleport through the mirror. I walked back to her and there was a figure behind her that I quickly noted and told her to follow me. I think this figure was a result of me thinking about the mirror and not walking directly to it. She followed me to the mirror and I said watch this.

As i looked at the mirror i felt slightly sidetracked, i began looking at the details of my face, while aquick glance looked very accurate the detail in my face was very wrong my jaw was much squarer, my brow was less defined, my eyes were shaped differently and i recall thinking that i did not look like myself at all. Then i regained my thought process, i decided I would teleport to my dream guide.

I dove through the mirror. I fell into darkness and shortly after i found myself clunking in a cabinet. I opened the cabinet and found my self in a very tall room. I looked over my shoulder and there was a huge throne about 5-6 stories in the air. The throne was empty and there was no one in the room. I began walking away from the throne and to my left was a chinese style hallway there were huge banners and other designs that reminded me of chinese decor. I remembered thinking that looks like a very secure location. I walked past the hall and there was an old man sitting down cross legged. I walked up to him and asked him if he was my dream guide. At first he seemed like he would say yes but in my mind I decided I would ask him multiple times and put the truth to the test. After thinking this he gave me an awkward hand shake and would not answer me. I asked him again if he was my dream guide and he said why of course. I did not believe him and thought he was some kind of guard. He was lacking conversation and became very un-animated. It seemed i could influence his speech and gestures which made me begin to lose interest in speaking to him. I walked around a little bit and soon after my dream faded quickly in the same manner it did on saturday morning. I believe my REM cycle ended.

This dream was the longest lucid dream I've ever had, I know, based of times that i fell asleep and woke upthat it was over 30 minutes. The detail was very strong in this dream and the only thing I found odd was the lack of emotion and speech in all of my dream characters. I found I could control them which is somewhat disappointing because I wanted to find/create a dream guide before I began controlling dream characters.

Notes: no nap, Used WBTB naturally at 4:11 AM, stayed up until 4:40, tried to fall back asleep, GF moved 9 times between 4:40-6:00 fell asleep at approx 6:10 and woke up at 6:54.
