I was lucky, as my first one was not DILD…no reality checks. I believe it was WILD.
Infact, I felt myself dissolving into the dream - I could see the blackness and images forming, and I knew right then that it was a dream and that I would be lucid.
I found myself on a green hill, with a blue sky (think the WindowsXP background). I said to myself, “Yay, I’m having a lucid dream!”
I noticed that the hill was all there was…nothing else. I proceeded to rotate the landscape like it were a digital 3D image. Pretty soon a digital city appeared in the horizon! I say digital, because while everything was clear, the texture of the landscape and the dream was very hardcore digital - almost like icons, or pixles in a video game.
Ok let’s make things happen…I thought to myself. I focused on a digital SkyScraper, and tried to make it vanish. My first attempt failed. 2nd attempt I pictured a vacant lot where the skyscraper would be and it vanished. Only a few seconds later, it rematerialized. I said to myself ‘No! Stay vanished’, and it disappeared again, but suddenly, my attention was pulled away from that.
I started to explore the digital city, manipulating and changing things. I must say for my first LD where I could control things, I had a pretty good knack for it.
Now I found myself in a digital house within the digital city. I started manipulating things in there. I also noticed dream characters started to enter…a man, a mouse, a cat, and a box of nails. This was notable, because they were pretty realistic in comparison to everything that was digital. The man for some reason didn’t want the mouse to get into the box of nails, so he proceeded to lay his head in the box of nails, almost using the box as a pillow. I felt like these dream characters were a distraction, and I had this gut feeling that my dream would end. Pretty soon it did and I could feel my consciousness pull out of the dream until I opened my eyes. Like one fluid motion.
It was cool. Only next time I want the dream world to be more realistic and not so digital.
