Thread: Semi-successful WILD for first timer?

Keep in mind I have never had a lucid dream yet.

So this afternoon I attempted to do a WILD. I let myself daydream and my mind wander off into random thoughts so that I wouldn't be TOO focused. In the back of my head though I was counting my breath but I eventually lost count, and decided oh well whatever.

I had several short dreams including a false awakening, and I think I got into SP also. My SP experience was numbness of my hands and legs, and very violent vibrations of me swinging side to side. In other words, it felt like my real body was still and my dream body, i guess (i dont know how to explain it) was swinging side to side very hard, and it felt like my head was spinning. Was this SP? no HI or hallucinations though.

I'm proud of myself for my FA though! I actually did my first reality check ever in one of my dreams. I woke up in bed in my dream, first thing I did was plug my nose and tried to breath. And it worked! but then, I guess it was very startling because I suddenly felt my waking body breathe in as well, and I woke up (most likely because when I plug my nose to breathe, I try to breathe in really hard lol, and I felt the magnitude of my inhale). I guess my mind was thinking "Wait, I'm breathing? Hold on a second here.. that's my real body breathing".

I've never been in a lucid dream before so I guess that is why I had failed a WILD. Is there anyone here who has had there first lucid doing a WILD?
