Is this a lucid dream?

**chadol** · 07-16-2014 03:38 PM

So I was dreaming, and this scene where I was in a school bus popped up. I *tried* to WILD, but failed, and fell asleep and the bus scene was just a normal dream. In that bus, I managed to do a reality check(bending my hands backwards) and it told me that I was dreaming. I could feel that something was different, and just to make sure this was a lucid dream I did another reality check and I got the same result. Excited, I tried to imagine Emma Watson next to me, but I blacked out from the dream and I woke up.

Now some questions:
1) I don't practice DILDing, but I believe that if this dream was actually a lucid dream, I was DILDing. Is this normal, or even possible?
2) Was excitement the reason I blacked out?

Thx!

Yep, that's a lucid dream

1) I'm assuming that this is a DILD, because you became lucid after the dream already started. It is normal: you were just dreaming of WILDing and falling asleep, like a reverse false awakening !
ALSO, you should try DILDing, it's generally easier than WILDing.

2) I think you woke up because you were exited not only because you became lucid, but also because you were preparing for some exiting stuff

It's Ok, a lot of beginners have this problem. Next time try to take your time and stabilize the dream

Definitely LD. Yea I also think you were too excited. You'll be alright after a few LDs.

You will more likely experience memory after you wake, as well as being woken suddenly; as from a bad dream. A lucid state is sometimes correlated to this; If you became aware of the dream upon waking it might very well be your last dream had, among several , you likely woke because your cycle was up(brain needs its rest). I think the conditions of your dream mater, and deserve consideration.

To conjure up Emma is probably impossible starting out. Was my first mistake too...You do not control much of the dream starting out. Just try feeling things or look at things for a couple seconds...don't visually linger on something too long. This will stabilize the dream better. Your brain can't easily handle materializing objects in front of you. Expect them behind a door, or reach your hand behind you looking for their hand and pull them into view if you want to try that sort of thing.
