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?
