My first lucid experience (WILD)

[Polpopolitan]

Hello Dreamviews ! I had my first lucid dream last night whereas I wasn't really trying to. My cat woke me up around 4:30 am (I should have woken up at 6:30 am) by meowing very loudly (he does that almost every night, so he usually stay outside at night). I thought to myself : I should try to WILD. I didn't move for about one minute then I felt a huge pressure on my chest, and I began to have an hallucination where my brother entered my room, and I said that I was paralyzed. Then I tried to move and I could. At this moment, I knew I was dreaming. I was in my room and immediately sat on my bed, looked directy at my hand and yelled like a total retard (in french, of course) : STABILIZE LUCIDITY ! STABILIZE LUCIDITY !! but the dream kept its blurryness. So I examined my hands in details and the dream was crystal clear. The first thing I did was setting the time to day by moving the sun and the moon. After that the dream lasted about 30 min I think (not sure though), then I had a false awakening because I thought I heard my alarm, so I droped of the chair I was on thinking "wake up" and thought I had woken up. You can't really know what a lucid dream feels or looks like if you haven't experienced one, really. When I realized I was dreaming, I immediately felt over excited but calmed down in two seconds. A dream and a lucid dream are totally different, since it does feels like it's real. TL;DR : Amazing, Awesome, entertaining, learningful (does that word even exists ?). Good day Dreamviews, and thanks a lot to you (and to my cat) for showing me this wonderful thing that is a lucid dream.

Awesome and motivational to hear that! Been trying to do MILD/DILD for a week now and still no LD, but i think i'm getting closer. Every single night i remember 3-4 dreams.

Congrats man! I too experienced my first WILD yesterday. They are insanely vivid, I also agree with you about not knowing what a lucid dream feels like unless you experience it.

Hello Dreamviews ! yelled like a total retard (in french, of course) : STABILIZE LUCIDITY ! STABILIZE LUCIDITY !! I laughed SO hard when i read this because iv been there so many times. You just want to stabilize as fast as possible no matter what you sound like. Im sometimes worried that i somehow shout in the waking world as well if shout out too loud in the dream , that would be hilarious for my father that sleeps next door. Oh yeah and there literally no competitition about what is the best hobby that exists now: Lucid dreaming
