What type of lucid is this? Strange...

So last night I had a lucid dream, but I'm not sure how to classify it or even how it happened. It happened as a WILD would, I entered the dream while concious and was fully aware of the dream forming around me, but I had not attempted a WILD and this was during the night, not from being awake. Like I didn't have the 'aha' moment where I realised I was dreaming, or even the excited moment where you realise a WILD attempt has succeeded. It just happened without me trying, and I accepted it like it was normal. And during the dream I felt the dream ending and was dissapointed, but then it happened again straight away, another dream formed around me as the last one ended, without me breaking consciousness. Has this happened to anyone else because I have never experienced it and would like some comments. Thanks guys!

Sounds nice. I don't know how to classify that, but in my opinion, isn't the important thing that you HAD the LD? No matter how it started and how you name the induction technique ;)

Hey, some people like knowing what kinds of LD's they have.

To me, it started off as a WILD, but the part where you exited the first one and started the second one would be best described as a DEILD - dream-exit initiated lucid dream. You hopped out of the first dream and into the second one. Impressive.

I've had dreams like this. I don't even wake up. Everything just goes black and I enter another scenario. I wouldn't call the experiences I've had DEILD's because I was never awake.

This is my thinking as well.

I'm also more intrigued about the fact that I wasn't trying to WILD at all but it just seemed to happen after one of my normal dreams ended in the middle of a sleep cycle. Just lucky me I guess :P

You probably noticed one of your natural, brief, mid-night awakenings. Your awareness carried over as you instantly fell back to sleep. Was this towards the end of your night's sleep? I often get several quick lucid dreams in a row towards the morning hours.

You can often re-enter a lucid dream if you catch yourself waking up. Just lie still, keep your eyes closed, and try to remember what you were just doing. Check out this tutorial:

I usually use DEILD in the morning and have great success with it, and this seemed totally different to how I usually DEILD, but I suppose it must have been. I guess I was just confused because it was such a different LD experience than I am used to.

And thanks for the advice Robot, I'm pretty good at re-entering dreams :) It's the best in the morning where I DEILD and can string about 4 longish lucids together because I keep re-entering them when I feel myself waking :)

I'd venture so far as to say you had a spontaneous DILD in which you were Lucid from the beginning. It's happened to me before; no surprise element, although I was exited that I was dreaming.
