First of all, let me say, welcome from Asymptote. Nice forum! Straight to business:
Some months ago, after I first started reading about and getting interested in Lucid Dreams, I accidentally got an opportunity to try the WILD technique. I had woken up in the wee hours of the morning, and as I lay back down, I decided I would try to have an LD. Well, I felt my body vibrating, and in a little while, I found myself in what was apparently a video-game landscape (I had been playing a lot of Half-Life 2 at the time). I did a couple of reality checks. My watch jumped from 1:50 to 4:58, and I could push my fingers through my hands, etc. After a few minutes in the dream, I woke myself up with excitement.
But I've got some problems with my LD: - Sleep paralysis, which usually lasts a while for me, only seemed to take about 2-3 seconds.
- As I think about it, the dream seems only vaguely real, more like a regular dream.
- I'd been thinking about LD's a lot at the time, and I fear I may nave had a non-lucid dream about lucid dreaming.
So my question to the more experienced WILDers is: do any of these three things disqualify my dream from being a lucid dream?
-
If youre aware that you are dreaming its a Lucid dream! The lucidness can be low or high... And dont worry, youll have vivid LDs soon enough, just keep trying!

Hey, welcome to DV!
My first LD's started out a bit fuzzy too, but don't worry, the more you have the clearer they get.

Welcome.
Yea like Qwinsepia said, they are a bit low in clarity at first, My first WILD was quite low in clarity but the next one was a bit clearer, along with my other Lucid dreams.

OK, thanks everyone! I was hoping I hadn't just wished myself into thinking I had one!

Yes thats my experience too - at first it feels a bit unreal but in my last two LDS they felt almost as real
as if I was awake in Real Life, in one of them I was running my hand over the bark of a tree and it was
just the same. Maybe it is just a case of practice!
Good Luck!
Namaste ;)
