Successful LD within a ND

[jtkirk]

Now I have a lot of stress these days. I have to work on my diploma thesis, I am very late and behind the schedule. I dissapointed some people that rely on me. I have trouble at school as well. I think these is the most stressfull time of my life. Now we all know, that stress doesn't help to ataining lucidity. Seems just the opposite to me. For past month I have had very good dream recall (many nighmares may be the reason), although I dont't keep a dream journal anymore. I also had many near lucid experiences that lasted only for short time. I was very afraid of something I needed to do today and I couldn't fall asleep easily. I had a kind of nightmare again. At one point in the dream I was watching a scary film and I was afraid to go to bed after that. Despite my fear I made a WILD attempt and was able to enter a LD in less than 5 seconds. I was like: "wow, is this even possible?". The WILD was just like all other regular WILDs I have. I am in my bed and I can't move at all. Really, ALL of my WILDs end up in the exactly same situation. No exceptions, 10 out of 10. Somehow I was able to move my hands after a short while, and start scrubbing them, till I could see them. And suddenly I could move. What followed was like 10 minues long, very vivid lucid dream, where I could fly as much as I wanted, changes sceneries, summon people. And I was very confidend I cannot wake up. So I was lucid, but somehow I missed the part, that I became lucid within a ND. At one moment I lost my lucidity and the ND went on, so I forgot many details about the LD. Anyway, the coolest experience so far !

I have also had a few of those 5 sec WILDs, they are very cool indeed. But whoa! A 10 minute LD! That must've been like heaven I hope you'll get over this stressful period soon...

Originally posted by PhilipJFry I have also had a few of those 5 sec WILDs, they are very cool indeed. Are you WILDs the same as mine? Do you find yourself exactly almost in the same position in the bed you were while falling asleep? And are you completely paralized as well? I though that I have the same experience again and again only because I started to believe that I has to be like that. But whoa! A 10 minute LD! That must've been like heaven [/b] Oh yes, the experience was very strong. And this has been only my 5th LD. Next time I have to be prepared and think before what I am going to do in my dream. Because I was quite clueless what to do, so I was just flying around, smelling and touching stuff (and people ), and thinking a lot about the world around me. I hope you'll get over this stressful period soon... [/b] Thanks, I hope that as well

Originally posted by jtkirk Do you find yourself exactly almost in the same position in the bed you were while falling asleep? And are you completely paralized as well? Well that morning I was very tired and whatnot, I just could WILD very easily. They came as dreams where I wasn't on my bed. They would have formed into consistant perfect lucid dreams if I had had the patience (Was my first WILD experience so I didn't have what it takes). And yes, I was paralyzed but I didn't really pay much attention to that since there were dreams forming in front of my eyes It was cool... And I guess it's quite rare, too...
