Last night I had my second lucid dream ever (Yay!) But the confusing part wasn’t that I had the LD… it was how I induced it.
I was woken up during a dream that I had almost fallen into a hole my dream guide had sunk into. Tired as I was, I went right back to sleep… but the phrase “I wish this dream had more walls” came into my head. I recognized it as a good way to keep myself conscious while falling back asleep, and kept repeating it to myself until I was dreaming, effectively turning myself lucid.
The weird part was that I have WILDed before, and though I’ve never succeeded, it has always taken me an excruciatingly long time to get past even the first stages. But this time, it was instantaneous. I felt like my sleepiness had made me heavy as lead and I had closed my eyes, heaved a sigh, and fallen gently backward right through the pillow… that’s how fast it happened.
It just sort of confused me. Is that normal? Is there a chance that was a FA? And how would you describe the whole situation?
