Thread: Was it lucid?

So I went to bed at 11PM and set my alarm for 3 am so I could try a technique,at 3 am I just layed their for 3 mins then all over my body I got all tingly,and it rather scared me but it was super cool!

So I fell asleep and I woke up in a bed and somehow I knew that I was in a foreign country and was gonna be eaten for food so somehow me,my brother and someone else was their,we examines the whole building we were in and realized their was no exit so we climed out the top window and their just happened to be stacks of boxes their so we started climbing down and at half way the stranger says follow me and he took one tower and pushed/aimed it for the roof of a bookstore that was made of books ,after I saw what he was doing I followed with my bro on my back and when we hit the bookstore we were still super high in the air so I tried grabbing at the books but we both fell 10 feet,scared the crap out of me but anyways,we all walked around town trying not to get caught because we all know we would be eaten somehow I knew that their was only 1 exit out of town and if we took it we would be caught,so we walked past Japanese/Chinese stores and eventually I recalled a game called Garry's mod,where you build stuff and me and my friend were having a deathwatch and then I woke up!

Was it lucid?Im writing this at 6 am so sorry fog the errors

If at any point you thought to yourself "I'm dreaming!" then it was a lucid dream. But you may have fallen asleep while attempting WILD, then went into a crazy dream.

Good luck!

Hmm was there any part at all where you realized it was a dream? I didn't notice you mention it, so I dont think you got lucid.

Were you trying out WILD? I agree with Lunatide. It looks like you fell asleep and had a nonlucid dream? But don't worry, you've got plenty of time to practice, and remember that every attempt is progresss, no matter how little!

I don't really know if it was lucid but it was really cool

Also if I do this on a school night,would this make me tired?

Hmm I wouldn't recommend doing WILDs on schoolnights, because you'd only get a small amount of sleep then. But you can try out DEILDs on school nights, and do the proper WILD on weekends.

You can use an "anchor" which is something you keep track of to keep you from fully falling asleep. You can try breathing, or counting, or mantras. You focus on them in your head, constantly, but just enough to retain awareness as your body falls asleep. You can also use other anchors, because it works differently for everyone. White noise, the sound of a fan, anything really, you just have to experiment and find out what works best for you. I personally focus on my breathing, until I get imagery, and then I enter the dream.

I highly recommend that if you want to pursue WILDs, you should check out Sageous' WILD Class. All the aspects of WILD are discussed there, divided into lessons. It's really informative.

Good luck

I do WILDs on school days, then I recover lost sleep on the weekends.

To stay awake, I'd say:

1. Get out of bed
2. Switch the lights on
3. Drink some water
4. Prepare your environment to a relaxing state (decent temperature, not too hot, not too cold.)
5. Go to the toilet (by this point you should be feeling good, and ready.)
6. Switch the lights off, then attempt.

The longer you stay up the easier it is to stay awake. But don't wake yourself too much, you won't be able to sleep or relax. I would recommend waking for about 5-10 minutes.

Seeya around .
