so i woke up from my alarm clock and got dressed, my mom comes in and says its a 2 hour delay. i undress, set my alarm, and try to WILD. i tried for a pretty long time, i stayed still, counting my breaths but still staying relaxed. my feet got kinda numb, and my hands got really numb, i could feel them but it was like they were floating around. i felt an odd sensation in my head and knew something was going to happen, got excited and it ended. i tryed again without success and i just kinda said screw this im going to bed. well after i went to bed i had a lucid for the first time in a long, long time. i dont know how i did it though, i gave up on the wild so it was probably a DILD, but the thing is i remember the dream forming and starting. was it a dild or some wierd branch of wild?

Sounds like an early dild. Unless you knew from second 1 that you were dreaming.

everything was black except for some light which was orangish brown, i felt like my eyes were half closed, and struggled to open them, which they wouldnt. after trying more my vision opened up more and eventually i was in the forest i was in before i woke up and attempted wild. so yea i remember it.

THIS just happened to me, where you were opening your eyes and they stung but they didn't realistically.

Some times people just have spontaneous lucid dreams. Since you weren't trying any technique, that is what I would call it.

well my eyes didnt sting, but they took a while to open, which is what i guess is the dream forming.

as for spontaneous lucid dreams, well all DILDs are kinda spontanious, and its a technique. there are 2 main ways to be lucid, not counting all the branches. there is dild and wild, either going in a dream conciously, or becoming concious inside a dream, i dont see room for another really. im confused because i think i lost conciousness, without anything like an anchor to keep me aware, and somehow was lucid when the dream began. its probably because i fell asleep instantly after trying for a lucid for so long. maybe its something like MILD+WBTB? the reason i want to know what it was so bad is because it worked well for me, and if i know what it is i did i can replicate my results in the future.

(kind of off topic, but the odd sensation in my head, it felt like i was being almost sucked into it. there was a feeling almost like when your foot falls asleep, but it was warm and not unpleasent. before it ended it felt like i was falling through my bed face first. anyone think i was getting close to WILD?)
