      Did I achieve a WILD on my second night?

      Two days ago, I found this site and became intruiged with the concept of LDs. After doing a half-assed attempt at trying to obtain lucidity on the first night, I failed, although, the dreams were quite vivid, and I could recall them even better than usual once I had awoken. I didn't bother writing them down, however, as I couldn't be bothered, thinking it's probably a waste of time. So Yesterday, I re-read the site again, and some tutorials on what to do, and I started just doing RCs just to see if it would work: Checking the time, assessing my surroundings, looking at text, etc. I would do this all day and just have LDs on my mind all day. It even got to the point that I would make jokes with my girlfriend about RCs, and dream-spinning, by just randomly saying "Are you real? Is this a dream?" and just checking the time here and there just to exagerrate things.

      Before I went to bed, I started my dream journal and wrote down the things I dreamt about the previous night, and the possible dream signs within them (light and elevator switches not working, riding a motorbike when I own a car, etc). Then I just figured I'd try the MILD method because I didn't want to wake myself up and wait around for 30-60 minutes to try a WILD. To my dismay, I woke up several times throughout the next couple of hours and found I couldn't recall a single dream. I was a little down, and went back to sleep thinking I'd try again the next night if it didn't work. My girlfriend awoke me with soft whimpering as she was having a nightmare, which I awoke her from with a gentle kiss. She then described in detail the nightmarish events she had experienced, and after I comforted her and put her back to sleep, I noticed it was 4:30a.m and I had stayed up for roughly 20 minutes, so I figured I'd try a WILD. This is when things got interesting, and I would like feedback on whether I actually had a WILD, or my mind wanted it so much that it made up a really vivid dream about it.

      I got comfortable on my side, and concentrated on my breathing, and told myself "I will have a lucid dream." As I concentrated on my breathing, I started drifting off a little, so I re-focused and kept my body relaxed. Then a small blue light formed. At first it was weak, then as I kept on breathing, it turned into like a blue electrical spark with a constant current. It was only appearing on the right-side, but after a few seconds I was able to have it appear on both sides of my eyes. Then I thought I felt what was best described as jolts of electricity through my body from my head down. Only two though. One of them frightened me abit, but I decided I might be actually onto something, so the next one I just toughed out. Then the two blue sparks combined, and formed like a tunnel of blue electricity. While I was travelling through this tunnel of light, I could hear my girlfriend talking to me from behind. But I decided they weren't real, as they were just random sentences, and questions spoken quite fast, and overlayed over one another. Again, a little scary having auditory hallucinations, but I just rolled with it to see what would happen next. Once I travelled through the tunnel, it "zoomed out" from the colour, and I was looking at like a 3-D image. It was in my room, and it was like a board, with 3-D shapes of different colours connected together by shape/colour, and travelling like trains across the board. Then I figured I may be in a dream, even though I was laying there in my bed and tried to jump out the window or something, but I found I couldn't move, so decided I probably failed and woke up. Although I could think quite clearly, I still couldn't figure out it was a dream, I did entertain the prospect that I may have just had a WILD, so I decided to get up off my bed, walk to my computer and look up this site to research WILDs a bit more, but once my screen had turned on, I noticed that my desktop was completely different to what I usually have. I performed a RC on what I was seeing, and it was enough for me to realise I was dreaming, and I just smiled, and I must've gotten too excited, because at that point I woke up. Do people think I may have had a WILD experience, or do you think it was just a really vivid dream with what I wanted it to be in there?
      As I always say, "I'd rather see the world through the eyes of a cynic, than walk the world blindly naive."

      Yes, it sounds like a successful WILD to me!

      Lucky you.

      Awesome job! That was a WILD, alright.

      BTW, FAs (false awakenings), or thinking you've woken up, but are really dreaming, are common with WILD and you would always do an RC when waking up during or after an WILD attempt. So cool that you actually caught on that you were dreaming!

      Yes, it was; and only on your second night. Well done.
