Body Hopping from WILD?

Er… Well I WILDed as I went to bed last night, figuring I could program a failed WILD and get into a Lucid Dream later on in the evening. I had a dream which I feel I should share and which is very important.

That will come in another post. I woke up an hour earlier than I needed this time. Usually my internal clock is so spot on I have enough time to write down the dreams I have and turn off the alarm before it goes off.

So I woke up, decided to WILD again and I ended up seeing out through someone else’s eyes. I could see their hands and arms when they opened a door, looking down at the doorknob. I think this may have been the same person I came to realize was a young woman. I felt what she was feeling at the time, a sense of vindictiveness. Anyhow she had some friends in another room and she removed the top part of her dress, she was wearing a low cut somewhat fancy red dress, and i think the top part was a matching blouse or something. She wanted for some reason to burn it and the disguises of her friends. I guess her friends had come in disguises of some sort and she wanted to expose them, to look prettier than them. Anyhow I didn’t see any of that - it could have been something she was thinking - not sure. All I do remember is after removing her blouse she went back to the party or gathering where her friends were, and I realized I was dreaming, but I decided to just stick around instead of trying to change anything. I remember after becoming Lucid being curious (wouldn’t you) and looking down to see, well of course you know what I would see :eek: and feeling the absence of a certain important part of my real physical body…

The strangest part of this is I get the vague impression that maybe I created the… Ahem… Chest area or summoned it up. That statement is the best way I can say it but the words don’t feel right. This could have been a real person or a construct, a DC, I chose to jump into. I’m just not sure. But I think for a moment I looked down and saw what would be the shape of my normal body, under the red dress, with no extra features. For the record I have no repressed desires to be a female, to cross dress, or anything like that.

Some sort of transition I don’t recall, I’m running now and I’m in the mind or something of a little boy (I think.) He’s running, desperate to get to a minivan. His brother is in the seat behind the driver, he gets in on the passenger side. I am aware of no strange construction or jarring weird features beyond being in the mind of someone else here. I remember how strange it felt to have my little legs running just as hard as I could and being almost out of breath when I got in the minivan. Two men were up front. The driver started up the van and just went straight through some garbage in the middle of an alley or something.

In both cases I was definitely not in my physical body, and the bodies I had jumped into felt alien and weird to me. But there were similarities between my body and theirs Of course they both had arms and legs. They could walk and run. They could see. They had feelings I could understand. So it wasn’t a completely alien experience. But it sure was weird! Oh yeah and I think both took place at night, and it was of course morning here.

Oh I should also mention that I did that, “close your right nostril with your thumb and take 5-50 breaths” technique, with 5 breaths, the night before the important dream and this body hopping one. I also performed Qi Gong that evening a few hours before I went to bed.

Well I’m not classifying this as a Lucid Dream. Maybe a partial one. But I wasn’t in control and chose not to be. How common is this sort of thing?

Yup, that’s very common, things just get boring if you have full control every second. As for dreaming of being someone or something else, I get dreams like that fairly often. I’ve been a male genie, a red-haired English girl, fictional characters, animals, a balloon (that last one was a lucid dream, but I couldn’t get out of balloon shape) … dreams are strange.
