I've been lucid dreaming to one degree or another for years... realizing that I'm in the middle of a dream and taking it to fun places, realizing that I shouldn't be able to fly, but keep flying anyway. Yesterday morning I had the most intense experience and I'm pretty sure it was my first WILD.

I "woke up" at about 5:30am and realilized I'd been LD'ing my last dream - I don't think I was fully awake in retrospect. So I decided to keep going with it.

I formed this pattern in my mind which was like a grid. I then went deeper and formed a dream - decided I wanted to go to the beach. So I started the dream by flying to the beach, swimming, getting out of the water and walking around the sand. I had a very interesting encounter with a guy and ended up seducing him. I even remember the cottage we went in and very detailed information about opening the door, the room not being what I had planned but having a very real-seeming experience, knowing that I was dreaming the entire time.

I then came back out to the state I was in at 5:30 and did this another 3 times or so - all different dreams that I "dreamed up". I am so thrilled to have this ability and to have found a website to share and read about others' experiences!

I was hypnotized about 10 years ago to quit smoking (it worked) and I feel similar feelings of subconscious awareness between hypnosis and LD. Thanks all.
