Thread: My First LD

I'm actually not 100% sure if it was a DILD, or a WILD. Anyway, I woke up and decided I wanted to attempt a WILD. This was probably a false awakening, I'm not sure. After some time I open my eyes and am still in my bed, but I realize that I'm dreaming. At this point I feel like I'm starting to lose the dream, so I attempt a spin to get things back under control.

Many guides recommend spinning when you're losing control of a dream, they don't mention how fun it can be. To be lying in bed, and suddenly do a complete vertical flip, quite fun.

After that, I really knew I was dreaming, also helped by the fact that after the flip R2D2's bowl-like head was now resting on my chest. I stood out of bed, walked around a bit, and occasionally spun due to excitement at what seemed like an impressive feat. At this point I decide I want to try flying, and suddenly i'm in space, looking down at the world. It's not a very good world... mostly clouds since I guess my subconscious isn't great at geography. I fly (it was more like fast floating) down towards it and once I break through the clouds I appear back in my bed...

...back in my bed with R2 still on my chest. That done, I decide to see if my sense of touch works. I pick R2's head up, it feels metallic, but not cold. I set it back down and can feel where the edges of the Hollow dome rest on my chest. I then conjured a woman (R2 disappeared), and we made out for a while, then I woke up for real.


Overall, a pretty good dream. At times though, I had limited control (changing location, etc), and some images seemed kind of see through.

Things I'd like to try next
- walking, running around in different scenery then my room
- talking to someone in my dream
