My favorite dream this week was the successful WILD attempt that lead to a lucid dream.
Successful WILD
Dream Lucid
January 31, '11: I slept for around 6 hours, stayed awake for 20-30 minutes, and then laid on my back, focusing on my breathing and ignoring any other thoughts. It took a while, but I eventually felt tingly vibrations.
I opened my eyes slightly and looked at the clock. But I couldn't have physically done that because I was facing the wrong way and I had on a blindfold (homemade sleep mask).
I felt myself switch from my physical body to my dream body. I moved my arm and then got up. My vision was not very good. It was dark and faded. I rubbed my hands together. Then I removed a pair of glasses I was wearing and everything was suddenly clear.
I rubbed my hands together again to stabilize the dream, focusing on the sensation. (I forgot that I wanted to examine my hands to stabilize, rather than my usual hand rubbing method.)
I was in a large cabin-like building, full of stuff. It reminded me of the pixel dream world I made on my computer, but in realistic 3D form.
I felt light. I floated into the air and did flips and pushed myself from the walls. I floated up to a big wooden light fixture thing. It was like a chandelier, but weird shaped. I don't remember exactly what shape it was. I made it fall and it broke on the floor.
I floated up higher and I saw into an attic storage space. There was an old stuffed rhino doll that I grabbed.
There was also a large fireplace behind a glass wall.
Then I remembered what I wanted to do. I tried to stretch my arm to reach something far away. My thumb and forefinger stretched and picked up my ghost lamp, and brought it closer to me.
I tried to stretch my arms, but it didn't work.
At some point I also pushed my left hand finger through my right hand palm, not as a reality check, but just because I've never done it before.
I was hungry (my physically body really was hungry) so I went to the fridge. I ate three slices of old pizza and then ate a bunch of other things, wrappers and all. Then I woke up.
While trying to re-enter a dream, I had a short dream-like thing. Someone was instructing me to climb through a small hole, or passage and told me to focus my awareness as I did.
