My First WILD (or GILD)

**SuperAbandoned** · 11-10-2011 08:50 AM

I've been trying for months now (counting the time i "gave up") and tonight was the first time i did LD through WILD successfully.

i was so happy when i woke up.
First i dreamed about falling from the sky when i suddenly realised that i was actually flying. i were aware the whole time. The scene suddenly started to fade away. The next thing i know i have a FA (my first WILD darnit) i immediatly think "Reality Check"
so i do the finger through palm RC, it is KINDA penetrating my hand but also is resisting. I think "whoa" so i do a nose plug RC and i succesfully am now Lucid. I start with getting up from bed, it takes some little time for me to realise that i need to stabilize my dream by rubbing my hands together. The next thing i do is go outside and look at the moon. I take a leap for it and the next thing i know im flying up to the moon. Then the moon gets the Majoras Mask face (which im not scared of btw

) i suddenly think that it could atleast smile. So i made it smile (looked hilarious) I jump back down to earth and then i am not lucid anymore

i would like to call this a GILD
(Game Induced Lucid Dream) since i've read somewhere about this technique where you play a game, feel yourself in the gameplay and then do a WBTB kinda WILD.
The game i prefered was Prototype btw.

Gild sounds interesting, I've had a few LDs were I've been dreaming im in a game and that makes me realize.

No worries i'll try find it
Had a few hypanogic episodes where i was in call of duty, almost fell into a dream
though it seems whenever i have a natural dream about it or im in a warzone, i neverrrrrr question my reality, too caught up in not getting killed i guess lol
Last night i was playing Battlefield: Zombie/werewolfs

was fucking cool though

You can look through the following way: Forum> Lucid Dreaming> Attaining Lucidity> Induction Techniques > GILD - Game Induced Lucid Dream [Experimental] (<forum name)

LOL nice dream, what a coincidence, look at my avatar

. Also, I had a GILD once where I was playing BFBC2 and i had a sniper rifle, and I was actually in the game, I looked through my scope and on the enemy side I had shot my church pastor and I became lucid becuase of that

Here's an article I found a while ago on the effects of games on dreams. Sounds a lot like GILDing to me. Video Gamers Can Control Dreams, Study Suggests | LiveScience Nearly all of my lucid dreams are GILD.
