My first lucid dream... An incredible story.

Well, this isn't so much the story of the dream itself, more like how I achieved the dream, which, to me, had always been a great deal more interesting, and a source of pride for me.

I was around... 9. I had no concept of lucid dreaming, or any induction techniques. I was simply trying to fall asleep one night, when I felt like I was floating away, still conscious. I realized that I was falling asleep. I had no idea what to expect, so I relaxed, simply enjoyed the ride... It was a beautiful experience.

After the floating sensation had begun, I saw a single picture floating in front of my eyes. Not HI, just a picture. It looked like a village, and was revolving slowly in front of my eyes. So, curious, I willed the picture to come closer. I fell into it, and all of a sudden, I was snapped into a dream. Never in my life had I experienced this, never have I again, no matter how hard I try. But I will say, that was one of the greatest dreams of my life. I spent all night reenacting Lord of the Rings.

Now that I am older and I understand Lucid dreams and WILD induction, I have been trying to recreate the circumstances. I have, so far, failed. And now I realize why.

Because I know what to expect.

In a WILD induction, do not expect, do not so much as twitch, simply... Go along for the ride. Then, once you appear in a dream, really make it last.

Sounds great Goldenheart. Re-enacting LOTR movies or having an adventure period is always a WILD favorite of mine. Now that you're here and your knowledge is increasing, I look forward to seeing a lot more coming from you in the WILD department.

Thank you for your comment and encouragement!

I've been hanging around your tutorial thread for a while and it is quite informative. I feel quite optimistic that I will soon be able to WILD on command!

That sounds like a really amazing experience. I bet it was especially cool because it was so unexpected and unplanned. I'm sure you will have more WILDs if you try. Sadly, nothing will probably ever compare with the amazement of your first WILD. It is like kissing your wife. It is great, do it every day, but can it compare to that first kiss, when you first fell in love?
