Hey, my name is Conrad and I heard about lucid dreaming about two weeks ago through a friend. I quickly searched it on the internet and found this useful site. Since learning about lucid dreams, I have been keeping a dream journal and my dream recall has improved. I also had (I think) a smal WILD the other night:
I went to bed after reading about DEILDs, and was planning to try one that night. I had a dream that night where I realized I was dreaming but had no control(thats happened once before) I then woke up at 3, and didn't want to forget about the dream so I wrote it down instead of laying motionless like DEILD suggests. After, I thought I might try a WILD, but just layed down. After a very short time of thinking randomly, I saw streaming colorful houses in front of me like I was driving down a road. Those went away, and my body felt numb. After a while, I started shaking violently. The shaking faded, and I was lying in my bed(I presume dreaming.) My covers then lifted off of me and were floating in the air. I tried to to an RC but after like 5 seconds I just sort of woke up. Does that count as a wild? Im not really sure if I was dreaming or awake.
Another thing Im not sure about is the dreams where I realized in the dream that I was dreaming but didnt have control and was not really thinking conciously. Were those LDs or just a dream about having an LD?
