I had this lucid dream while doing a WILD variation I read about a few days ago. The technique works like this. As soon as you wake up from a dream, and realize you are awake, keep your eyes closed and start imagining spinning on your own axis lengthwise. Do this a couple times, and then imagine having an OBE, rolling yourself out of your body. As you start to roll out you will feel yourself fade away into a dream, so it is important to imagine waking up in your bedroom already in a lucid state. I am going to call this technique a RILD - Rolling Induced Lucid Dream.

Here is my dream!

Green = Lucid Dreaming
Blue = Normal Dreaming

The Aqua Simpsons - September 26 2005

I start the RILD technique. As soon as I start the rolling part, I feel myself falling into a dream. I visualize waking up in my bedroom and becoming lucid. Everything goes black for a few moments. Then my bedroom comes into view, and at that moment I tell myself, “I am in a dream”. I am so excited! This is my first actual lucid dream. For years I’ve wanted to experience the feeling, and it has only taken me 9 days to do so! I remember that I should stabilize the dream, so I yell, “Increase lucidity!” There is a pulse wave that goes out through the room, and everything brightens. I look around and see two other bunk beds, and a picture on the wall. The room reminds me of one you would find in the Simpson’s house (cartoon show). Everything is extremely blue; it feels like the room is under water. I try to get out of bed, but can’t. No matter how hard I try I am stuck to the bed. I concentrate and tell myself, “You are dreaming, get out of bed”. The dream starts to fade. I look down to my hands but everything is blurry. I try and rub them, but it doesn’t work. I then lose the dream and have a false awakening.

I awake in my bedroom, and get up quickly to tell all my roommates that I’ve had a lucid dream. One mate tells me he had one as well, and the other says he didn’t dream at all. Then I wake up...

Going to try this same tech tonight and see how it goes. Will keep you updated.
