I just had the weirdest experience of my life.(WILD attempt)

moved from gen lucidness to quest due to key question “Is this what a normal WILD experience is like? I mean this experience changed my life in the world of dreaming and sleep.” :moogle:

Hello, I am homeschooled and just got done with school and I was still alittle tired and thought maybe I should take a nap and lucid dream. So I went, layed down on my bed and repeated “I will dream and I will Relise I am dreaming” and after awhile I started hearing things right next to me that wasn’t really there and I know I was pulling off a WILD and figured I may as well follow through with it and have a WILD. So my body started making the weirdest feeling I have ever felt, it was relaxing yet uncomfortable and I wanted it to stop but I figured it would be worth it to have a LD to not bother quitting. And all of the sudden I heard my friend talking to me and I was talking back. I got up and the phone was in my hand, and I was still awake but my eyes were still closed and I couldn’t open them. I put the phone to my ear and my friend was talking to me and I told him I was panicking and couldn’t open my eyes. So I got up went downstairs and layed on my couch, still talking to my friend and still feeling the uncomfortable feeling all through my body except worst. So I was really freaked out. I feel like I was wide awake only my eyes were glued shut. That when I ran up stairs after a half hour converstation and layed in my bed thinking in my head “I WANT A LUCID DREAM! I WANT THIS TO STOP! I NEED A LUCID DREAM! GIVE ME ONE!” And I felt myself falling into a dreamlike area as that uncomforably feeling was SO strong I couldn’t handle it anymore, and I forced my eyes open and I was in the same exact position I was when I first went to take the nap, I was wide awake still feeling that feeling only not as strong, I got up in amazment plugging my nose just in case, and I was not in a dream. I still feel that feeling slightly, and this all happened I fully woke up about 10 minutes ago. I went to take a nap at 12:10 and it is 1:24 right now.

Is this what a normal WILD experience is like? I mean this experience changed my life in the world of dreaming and sleep. I mean I feel like I was awake the entire time talking to my friend, really hearing him and really walking around, even though I know I was laying there the entire time not moving at all. I am a experienced lucid dreamer, had about 30-50 lucid dreams total when I started, which is when I joined the board. But in my whole life I have not experienced anything like this. I mean the way I feel right now is the same exact way I felt while lieing there, only my eyes are able to open. I didn’t do a reality check while during the experience but I did do a reality check just abit ago and I know I am not dreaming right now. But I am totally freaked out, I feel like I am still partly in a dream while in the real world.

Not sure if this was the right place to post this but I just thought I’d share it with you and I can’t think straight.

You were just having an both extremely and not so lucid event, since you could control yourself but you didn’t know it was a dream…

I dislike WILD, too creepy for me. I am not frightened, there are just better ways for me to experience LD.

Off topic but, do you home school at ECoT? It’s an online classroom. It is always cool to meet another home schooler. :wink:

i hope you mean you dislike WILD, because MILD is in no way creepy or scary, and what’s ECoT?

Yeah lol, I meant that. :slight_smile: ECoT is an electronic classroom, in other words a home school on the internet. :content:
