Yeah!!

After my failed attempts on Friday night I had another shot at WILD last night. I was just about ready to give up at "750, I'm dreaming" when I noticed there was something in my room making a weird noise. So I got up and started turning things off in my room. Until I realized I had been turning things off that I didn't even own (like 3 TV's and stuff). Then I RCd the clock and it was all blurry.

I didn't get really excited because I tried a few things I couldn't do in waking life and nothing worked. So I went back and lay in bed.

at about "790 I'm dreaming" I found myself still lying in my bed but I tried to imagine my bed was in the middle of the street (where I live I can hear cars going past every 3 seconds so it makes it hard to LD). Sure enough, when I opened my eyes and sat up I was on the sidewalk of a street I hadn't seen before. So I spent the next few minutes exploring in amazement that my mind was able to create all this. After I while I think I lost lucidity and it turned into a normal dream.
But still, first WILD and LD x2 so :boogie:

I think my next step will be trying to relax more so it doesn't take a count to 700 (BORING AS HELL!) and also to get better control over the dream.

Wow! Nice first WILD!

I love to just explore in LDs, too. It really is amazing the detail and complexity our minds can create.

I know, the thought kept going through my head "Wow, my brain created this out of nothing..."

No luck with wilds since then though :(

That's quite amazing. How long have you been trying to consciously induce a lucid dream?

That sounds really vivid. Good job keeping your cool. You didn't notice any sensations as you passed into a dream? Thats good inspiration to people who say they are afraid of sleep paralysis and crazy hypnagogia.

Hopefully you can pin down what made that attempt such a success.

Yeah thanks, was reading few a few guides there. I havn't had luck lately because I havn't had the time and such.
Plus when I try to WILD I notice I wake up several times during the night which disrupts my sleep. And it's odd too because usually I NEVER wake up during the night, not even to go to the toilet

Only a couple of days amazingly enough. This was my 4th attempt at it.

It actually wasn't hugely vivid, it had a dreamy feel to it. Not really any sensations but I did on my first few attempts. I was lying there completely motionless for more than 10 minutes though. I must admit I was petrified of SP the first couple of times. I had tried twice before this the night before and both times I pulled out because of the noise in my ears, but this time, nothing.
I hope to eventually get a good technique down so I can WILD at will.
