Hi there,

I would like to share some experiences with you, since I’m not sure what exactly I’ve experienced...

So... I’ve been trying to WILD for 5 days now, but that wouldn’t work (not further than "transition phase"). Then, yesterday, I came across the thread "Really’s Ultimate Lucid Mp3 is Here!" and decided to give it a try. (Music + noises + voice saying "This is a dream. Do a reality check now.")

So I went to bed at about 11:00 PM - the mp3 would begin to play automatically at 3:00 AM (once, through speakers, not too loud). Wasn’t sure if that’d wake me up, but yeah: It did. I was pretty awake and failed to WILD, that’s why (after listening to the 12 minutes of "The Ultimate Lucid Induction") I thought: "Wtf... Well, at least it might give me nice vivid dreams" and fell to sleep.

Now for the interesting part I dreamed I was standing in the living room, suddenly asking myself: "This could be a dream!?" (Why? Maybe the mp3 still in mind?) So I checked my hands and since I was able to push one hand through the other I realized that my assumption was correct. Then, stabilized the dream by rubbing my hands, but not too long. I went outside. It was day, but very cloudy. I thought: "Should make it sunny... AND I should fly." So I started floating while saying: "Clouds – away!" The sky seemed to brighten up. "More!" I said, and some more clouds vanished until it was like a perfect summer day.

What next? Just as I was wondering about that question, I saw two friends of mine standing in the garden. They started asking me questions and talking their heads off, but since I had no desire to answer I didn’t say anything. Instead, I decided to fly away.

And - presumably - at THAT point my lucid dream turned into a normal dream I’d say, because as I tried to float away, one of my friends grabbed hold of me and insisted on flying with me. I said: "Let go!" over and over again, but the person didn’t obey and it was very difficult to fly with this weight...

Another fact that makes me think I lost the lucid is that I didn’t notice the dream fading or collapsing. Just ended like my normal dreams: Somehow. Unnoticed.

So, what do you think?? Was this a real lucid? Or did I just... like... "dream" about being lucid, but I really wasn’t?
