My first (Wake-Induced) Lucid Dream!

[Unscrewed]

Hello everyone, I had my very first lucid dream today. I've had some lucid dreams before, but I'd wake-up the second I realized I was dreaming. Anyway, so this is what happened: Yesterday I didn't feel well, so I skipped school and work. Today I woke up after 6 + 8 hours of sleep, to realize I still didn't feel well, so after I told school I still was feeling sick, I went back to bed. After about 30 minutes of laying down, I started hearing a very loud sound (like buzzing), heard my heart beat very well and my vision started to turn into a big ball of light. Of course, as it came unexpected I shocked, only to find out I was paralyzed, and I immediately knew I was just sleep-paralyzed. So I just started relaxing again, as I saw the big ball of light again, I thought: "Maybe I can imagine I'm in a dream, and I would actually start lucid dreaming." Then something weird happened, I thought I moved in real life to do something, opened my eyes and was still laying down and never moved. I did this a few times until I had an out of body experience (I couldn't see myself laying in bed, though). The first thing I did, was trying to fly. I thought: "If I am actually lucid dreaming, I can fly" so I jumped while thinking: "float!" and boom! I was floating above the ground. I went down to the ground, looked outside my window, and everything seemed normal, except for some huge vehicle standing outside. I ran downstairs to go outside the house, and saw 2 guys standing there. We did everything together, from here on out things start getting a bit vague, as it's about 5 hours ago. The weird thing is, I don't know these 2 guys. Usually in dreams, you dream of people you have seen in your life or know well, but I just didn't know them! It was like an empty world with only these 2 guys, like they were my dream guides. Everyone I imagined with the intention to become real, actually did get 'spawned'. I woke up once, but it was a false-awakening and started sleeping in my dream and it was lucid again. After roaming around in the world, doing awesome stuff (and naughty stuff, hey, you can't blame me)... ...I told one of the 2 guys: "Hey, wanna hear something? I am actually lucid dreaming right now!" and he started to get mad at me, he pushed me. I said: "Why are you so mad at me? Now you are lucid dreaming too!", thinking I was actually connected to someone while dreaming. He started punching me out of madness and followed that by saying: "Don't ever say it.. speak to the light; Pluto's way." ('it' refers to saying I am lucid dreaming) I thought inside my head: "This is enough, wake me up" and I was surprised it was actually that easy, I woke up and immediately told people. I wonder though, why did he get mad at me while I thought I was being helpful? And what could this possibly mean? "Speak to the light, Pluto's way." Sincerely, Unscrewed PS. All this only was 1hour and 30minutes of sleep, while it felt like more. I tried to lucid dream again after telling people, but I just fell asleep.

I actually feel like: "Speak to the light, Pluto's way" means something... I am actually convinced, even though it sounds strange. And I actually feel sorry for my 'dream guide', I don't want him to be pissed off at me when I come back and actually ask him what it means, but maybe he'll get mad again if say something in the direction of dreaming.

Yo, congrats on first lucid dream! Sometimes DCs can be weird, haha, that's one of fun things about them. Though i'd suggest to not think that he will be pissed off next time if you don't want to, it might result in you expecting it and thus it will happen, dreams are influenced by dreamer's expectations and that's how dream control works. Also if you think that phrase means something, so be it, only the dreamer can figure out something meaningful if it's here. It does sounds interesting though, dreams are amazing. Also are you sure it was actual sleep paralysis? Like not being able to move completely? Do you have often episodes of it? I am asking because there's common misconception about it, SP is not required for WILD and if it ever happens it happens very rarely unless sleep disorder, http://www.dreamviews.com/wake-initi...mystified.html , but even if you are experiencing true SP regularly, it's not something to concentrate on for lucid dreaming since SP not possible to control or induce. WILD is about falling asleep while being aware of it, i strongly suggest to check out those tutorials: http://www.dreamviews.com/induction-...cid-dream.html WILD
