Hi everyone,
The first time I even knew about LD'ing was when I stumbled upon this site last November, and I've been trying to LD ever since. So far I've failed at all my DILDs so far since I always seem to be to distracted in my dreams to pick up on any dream signs (still working on that), so I try to WILD every once in a while as well. Until tonight I've always just laid there until my body got a little numb, then I would always start thinking too much. Tonight was different. I went to sleep early tonight but woke up at about midnight. I got up for awhile, checked this site, drank a little coke, then sat down in my bed. After the same routine, I guess I kinda drifted off into a dream or I was doing something right this time.

After a deja vu'ish dream that I felt I've been in before or was resuming, I found myself in my old bed/room when I was still living with my parents in high school. I couldn't move , even when I tried, and I could barely see anything (I seemed to have very faint night vision). There was something else in my room it felt like, but not physically. When I focused my eyes to the bottom right corner of my vision I could see two "glowing"/bright eyes. I ignored this until they would not go away and became the only thing I could really see. Suddenly I started freaking out because of this and that's when I was lifted up to my ceiling. After some time I could hear my fathers voice and I was suddenly in my bed again. If I tried really hard I could get a word out and he would hear me. Then he left the room and I noticed I could move my body again, unfortunately I was now awake.

Sooooo I'm just a little confused. I understand this freaky experience was my first real SP but was this a WILD (a failed one of course)? Kind of makes me feel like I stumbled into something I wasn't ready for. Next time I try I'll try to stay more focused (and in control).

oh and sorry bout the long thread...
