Hello everyone, I just figured i'd post because i've lurked a long time trying to learn how to become lucid and have been practicing arduously, too. I think it's been nearly a year since I became interested in lucid dreaming and within the past four months or so i've been really trying to practice it, too.

So last night I did another wbtb(?) and then attempted a wild. However I think I was only half successful with the wild attempt. I've been having some serious back pain lately and to my surprise I was able to relax without much of an issue and ended up with nothing to think about and just enjoying it.

Out of the blue I found myself outside my house and calling for my dog to get back in the house after our morning routine. Apparently so stubborn that I couldn't believe it was real and I ended up doing a reality check and bam, I could breath while pinching my nose. I was surprised, but not overly excited. I didn't know what to do next and then I found myself exiting the dream and hearing myself breath again and woke up.

It was sort of disappointing, but kind of rewarding at the same time. If I could get some insight on this it would be incredibly appreciated.
