Thread: The First Wild I Ever Had.

About seven years ago and long before I knew anything about lucid dreaming I had an experience I would like to tell you about here. I do not keep an online dream journal, nor have I publicly documented many of my LD's on this forum but this one is particular interesting.

I had stayed up very late for about 2 nights in a row... I got very little sleep both nights although I did get some. This was during the midst of hot summer and that day was very hot. I didn't have air conditioning at the time.. so my house also was not pleasant. I had taken off my shirt, and most of my clothes. I had gotten a glass of water and sat down in the chair drinking it trying to cool off... I was very very tired, sleepy, and groggy... possibly not only from the lack of sleep but also the heat. I sat the water down and sit back in the chair stretching out attempting to relax.. within about 15 seconds I went from being incredibly sleepy and groggy to feeling very energized and wide awake.. I continued to sit there but felt like suddenly I would not be able to sleep.. I stood up from the chair and realized the house was no longer hot but neutral... I realized very quickly that the entire scenario was very out of place for a matter of seconds to have passed.. the house not being hot. me not being tired.. and it didn't quite look the same looking out my door.. I turned around to find I was staring at myself sleeping laid back in the chair still.. Incredibly I became amazed that I was having an out of body experience... I decided to walk back to my 'body" and sit down in the chair to re-enter. When I do this, suddenly I am back in my body, and tired, exhausted even, and very groggy again... For years I tried to understand what had happened. I saw my body and actively re-entered it so I assumed that this must have been an OBE.

Sometime early last year, I was researching this exact incident to see if I could find what other people's experiences were like... and I came across this exact website... started researching, studying, and finally practicing, and within my first week of knowing what Lucid Dreaming/OBE's where, had my first.

Now that I know substantially more about Lucid Dreaming and Wilding, I understand now that this was just a form of wild with a false awakening scenario... but it was amazing. I now understand or at least personally believe that the majority of, if not all, out of body experiences are nothing but WILDS/LD...

Has anyone else had experiences like this, possibly long before knowing about lucid dreaming?
