Well, Lucid dreaming is not something that comes natural to me. Unless I am conciously thinking about having one during the day and actually try to have one, I won't. About a year ago I was heavily into lucid dreaming, and would have one almost every night. (Normally through WILD, that seems to be the only one that works for me.) I was always able to control my LDs pretty well, but this one was different.

A few days ago I came back to Dream Views after an absence of over a year. (You may remember Shayla, my old account. I had to create a new one because of email issues.) I have always loved LDing, but unless I am constantly working at it can never have one. So for the last few days I have been trying insistintly at night to WILD, and last night it worked.

I felt my body begin to feel very strange, almost tingly. And in my field of vision I saw a strange forest scene. I remember somehow ejecting myself from my bed into the forest scene, and began to walk around trying to think of something to do with my LD. It was a very long LD, and it felt like ages went by before I finally found a DC. She was a blonde haired girl with a feathery little hat and a very french accent. She told me she was part of a rebel group and that I had to help her drive out the tyrant that was ruling her and her people. I decided to play along and agreed, it sounded interesting.

She took my up to her treehouse and I sat down on her couch. She sat down on the floor at my feet and began explaining to me how she had been waiting for me for a long time and that she was so happy I had finally come. She promised she wouldn't let anything happen to me and that she hoped we could become good friends. I felt a sudden strong surge of emotion towards her, and knew that I had to be careful or I would wake up. It wasn't a romantic emotion, it was more like a sisterly kind of emotion. We continued talking for what seemed like hours, about everything it seemed.

Finally it hit me that I didn't even know her name. I asked her hesitantly "I want to ask you something, but I am afraid it will make me wake up." I don't know why I thought just asking her name would wake me up, but for some reason I did. She just smiled and replied.

"Don't worry, the dream state is stable."

I decided to go forward with the question. "What is your name?"

She looked at me strangly for a moment and then responded. It was just a random string of words that had nothing to do with a name at all. I nodded and decided to ask her something else. "How can I make my LDs more realistic, and do more with them?"

She looked really sad all the sudden, and the last thing I saw was her crying and then I woke up.

I don't really understand this. This is the first LD I have ever actually had this much communication with a DC and I don't know what to think of it.
