I woke up at 5 this morning to WILD. Last time I WILDed somewhat successfully I got to an intense vibrating stage and some HI but fell asleep - that was a few days ago. After this morning I can finally relate to "seeing through my eyelids". I did the process of WILDing but used the actors technique explained by kingyoshi (not sure if that is what did it but i'm sure it helped regardless). I didn't have any HI but instead woke up in my dream to looking at the top of my bunkbed just like i do normally, I rolled out of bed and turned my light on so I could get a good look at my hands, and sure enough I had 3 fingers on my left hand and 6 on my right. I went over to my mirror and sure enough there I was, although I was not in my own clothes but more of a mixture of a girls school outfit and a wife-beater haha..Would this just be a dream because I was able to look in the mirror clearly and read the clock. The clock said it was 9:43 although when I did this it was 5-6am... I thought I wasn't supposed to be able to read clocks and look in mirrors? So would it just be a dream?

After that I accidently closed my eyes (Funny because just last night i read a thread on how closing your eyes wakes you up) and remembering what i had read the night before kept them closed in hope of opening them up and staying in my dream, but i woke up. Right after I woke up I closed my eyes to try and re-enter my dream and it was surprisingly easy, within under a minute i'd say i was back in. It is so hazy which is unfortunate, I remember trying to fly in my court outside my house and my sister and her boyfriend were there. I was excited and quickly told them I was lucid although they didn't even react to that. I tried to fly and didn't know where to start... I started with a small jump and went a few feet, and eventually was able to unstably fly about 50 feet if i focused hard across my court, I tried other things during this time in the court which makes me think I was still lucid. I told my sister and her boyfriend that I would go get taco bell for them because..well it would be so easy now. I read another thread last night on how in your dream if you go somewhere but you imagine what it will be before you get there than that is how you create it. So i imagined taco bell would be where a local park is behind my house. (I woke up right before leaving for taco bell ) I also told matt that I had $100,000 in my wallet because I felt like... why not? and I opened my wallet but didn't really count my money... just saw that it was relatively the same thickness as it normally is so figured no money had appeared in it haha. My eyes felt like they were burning from dryness suddenly and I closed them just a little but not enough to close them all the way but still woke up. After this I sat up in bed to try and think about how much I remembered, what I thought was lucid or not and tried to piece it all together.

I am surprised how hard it is for me to recall the dream.. I can remember the parts that I know for a fact were lucid but the in between spots are so hard to remember. Such as how I got outside.. I think I got outside when I entered for a second time after accidentaly opening my eyes. I am still remembering bits and pieces, I remember eating something or wanting to eat something and feel like it was in my house downstairs but once again i just can't put it together. I also don't remember anything of the first dream after realizing all my new-found fingers! I know I didn't wake up right after that but i can't remember what i did or where I went... although I remember the end of it when I did close my eyes and wake up the first time.

Is it possible that it became a dream because I lost control or didn't focus enough after realizing my lucidity? Maybe that is why it is so hazy. And maybe it wasn't even from my WILD, but i thought it was because the whole seeing through my eyelids and waking up thing.

I will try again tonight and i'll focus more if i do become lucid, because who knows maybe It was all a dream.. but I did wake up IRL both times after closing my eyes in the dream.. I think i only think it was partially a dream because it is so hard to remember. I am just ranting haha, Thanks for reading ^,^. Also - I remember thinking that flying wasn't so hard if I was able to do it at all in my first lucid dream so I tried to summon a sword but didn't have any luck or even know where to start, but I can see that there is so much to be explored and created....... I Cant wait to go back to sleep! My mind is racing

Happy Dreaming!
