Hello everybody, I'm new to this board and very glad about having found such a nice place. I'm practising lucid dreaming for some weeks now and have already made some experiences I'd really like to share.

I had my first LD after three days of practising (which really surprised me 'cose I'm usually slow in such things ). While falling asleep I tried to remain conscious by focusing on the spot beetwen my eyebrows but after some time I became unaware and drifted into sleep. I woke up in the morning and without really noticing I continued practising. Then just before falling asleep again I heard a female voice who said something like: "Now its time to do it!" and because I didn't know what to do I just answered "Help me". In the next moment I saw a door before my inner eye and then I was sucked into a really vivid dream. I was in a theatre which was all decorated with red velvet and I felt really intimidated by the strenght of the colours. To calm down I said to myself "its just a dream" and then the show began. There were huge blocks on the stage moving around all the time with beautyful women sitting and laying on top of them. There was also a guy between these blocks who catched my attention. I don't know why but I somehow mistrusted him. He had something strange I couldn't explain. I tried to talk to him but it didn't work, I felt that I was using my physical mouth instead of my dream mouth. So I tried to send him a mental message and he turned around so suddenly that I was too amazed to say something decent. I just said "Cool show, dude " and he agreed and went away. He came back with a goblet and announced me to drink from it. I first hesitated because I didn't know what was in there and when I asked a voice said. "This goblet will nourish you a lifetime". Then a person beside me took a big sip
( I later recognized her as my girlfriend, she was present during the hole dream) which encouraged me to take a slug by myself. There was a timeline engraved in the goblet wich listed important events of my life, past and future ones (I didnt look at the future events because I didn't want to know them, I want to live them when its time to).
Then the presence of my girlfriend became stronger and stronger but I couldn't see her in my dream so I began to belive that she was standing beside my sleeping body (even if I knew that she was on holyday at that time.) Then I thought that she had come home without saying anything to surprise me with her return. This idea gladdened me so much that I decided to wake up. To my despair I found myself alone in my room.

After this experience I had some other LD's but they weren't nearly as intense as this one. The others were all dream induced through reality checks.

Do you think that there's a difference between DILD and WILD
