and also the reason for me seeking out a forum like this. I've been dabbling in meditation for a few years on and off and last year tried to initiate spirit walking meditation before sleeping. In the last two months I've been trying to WILD (as I learned it's called from here) but only managed sleep paralysis and no actual lucid dreams.

Now in the last week/two weeks I've had two lucid experiences. The first was short lived. I driving a car with friend beside me and someone from my old school in the back with a random girl. I became aware and told the dc's that I was curious if I consciously controlled what they said or if they could act on their own. After a few seconds I decided that flying would be far more fun and took off. Unfortunately the flight was short lived as I took off into the sky and woke up.

Now my more recent endeavor resulted in me becoming aware and deciding not to panic and just fly. I flew from a city top building and over the countryside and landed in a forest bouncing from branch to branch. I decided I wanted a nice atmosphere and was in a cherry blossom tree up in the branches with said tree in bloom.

I then wanted the dream to turn more sinister and found myself slipping through the branches onto the ground and into a trench. Suitably dark and murky. I followed it into a cave which ended in a dark old room covered in cobwebs and dirty windows spilling a dark light over the room. I then decided to see if I could change my body and was able to stretch and expand my arm out in front of me. A DC then jumped out and started a dialog with me just before I woke.

Very happy overall and hopeful I'll be able to expand and create longer and greater Lucid dreams
