    #327 – WILD/ DEILD chain – 4:53AM

    I started this WILD at 4AM and while it took some time to relax and quiet my mind I don't recall it feeling like an hour long experience, though the dream was really long. Perhaps I woke to vibrations and didn't realize I fell asleep? I spend a lot of time bouncing from vibrations in SP to little dreamlets to transitioning out of bed to DEILDing back to SP vibrations so I don't really recall all of it. Most of it was boring garbage anyway.

    The main part is that after another DEILD, I saw the bathroom light on so I go in there. I take a good look in the mirror and I look mostly normal. Then I do a variation of Canislucidus' summon. Instead of reaching behind myself, I close the door slightly and blindly reach into the bedroom hoping Dthoughts would show up. I end up just grasping at the air until my hand switches in my physical body causing me to have to DEILD again.

    There is one transition were I am just walking in the void but I can see the silver cord. I don't get very far and I have a falling sensation back to my body.

    I lucidly observe a lot of dream content but don't take any control. It was interesting to act out a dreamlet without even trying. I guess that explains a lot of erratic behavior even while lucid. I recall one where I am on my knees on the floor next to my wife in bed. We are talking and I have a phone in my hand. I push play and I hear a conversation with my daughter then I hear myself in the podcast. My voice morphs and changes. I decide to take control hear and do a little hand rubbing but the dream collapses back to another DEILD.

    One of my bedroom exits my wife calls my name but I ignore it. I am not sure what happens next but I don't get very far.

    I try to phase through the bedroom door as I hear my wife calling my name again. This time I decide to stop and listen. I try to ask her “what” but my mouth is stuck shut so I try to communicate telepathically. “What babe? What do you want?” but she never responds.

    There was a lot more experiences but nothing worth noting. I eventually roll over and hope for a DILD.

      Ive been studying AP too much but the techniques are great for WILD! The rest is mysticism and sensationalism in my opinion.

      Awesome. I am delighted to hear that you succesfully tried in a lucid dream. I am afraid I might not even get this far.

      I'm afraid that I am going to summon a 'little green man' when I will do this. But I like the connection to space and aliens. So next time I get lucid I will try to meet you on a spaceship or something.

      Nice, you're already going for it in the challenge! I've gotten the best results from the summon tech when instead of hoping that the person's hand will appear, I jump right to "Let's see what their hand feels like." Just acting like what you really want is already there and just skipping to the next step. Easier said than done and I often forget to do this properly! But it's what's been most consistent.

      Good DEILDing as always!

      @Dthoughts, Awesome. We can get abducted together!

      @CanisLucidus, Thanks for the tip! I wasn't thinking of it that way but I can see how that would be much better. I think I'll try that next time and if that doesn't work, I'll try the ol' phone call or just go to the person myself.

      Sure thing, man! The really sad part is that in my 1st lucid last night I remembered telling you this very thing, tried it, and failed. That's pretty embarrassing. Fortunately it worked in the later LD.

      Oh yeah, the phone call! You have always had good luck with that one.
