Accidental WILD

Quest for Lucidity
1

OK. Has anybody else done a WILD without meaning to? I’m not sure why this is happening but I will do WBTB and attempt to WILD, but halfway through the WILD I give up. I roll over and go to sleep, but my mind wakes up just as I enter my dream. When this happens the only thing I can see at first are two dots in front of my eyes and I hear a humming noise. Then I enter the dream.

This happened three times in just 1 week. Every time this happens I have a low awareness LD. So the question is, has anybody else experienced this?

I don’t think that’s a WILD.

I think it’s simply a lucid dream that you enter lucid.

That happens to me a lot, but never like you mentioned…

A WILD is when you go from waking consciousness to dreaming consciousness without a break somewhere in between.

Sounds nice, keep it up and your lucidity level will gradually increase. :smile:

I have had a WILD without trying. It’s only happened once, in fact its the only time i’ve ever had a WILD, and it was when i was ill. But what you’re describing doesn’t make it sound like you’re conscious as you fall asleep, so it’s not techniquely a WILD. But hey, if it’s given you a LD three times in a row, who cares what it is? :tongue:

This has actually given me lucid dreams also. I’ve tried WILD and failed a few times but I’ve had lucid dreams after giving up.

looks through DJ

I had low lucidity dreams on a couple of the nights and I had 2 false awakenings which I turned into lucid dreams.
