I woke up after sleeping for approx 6 hours. I read a little bit in this book about LDing and then tried to MILD. I couldn’t sleep for like 30 mins but I kept telling myself that “I was going to be aware in my dream” and stayed concentrated on my intention. I then remember this loud fuzzy noise. I was really confused and scared. All of a sudden I had this visual of me tossing and turning in my bed, but the speed of this visual was abnormally fast. I then stood up right in my bed and everything seemed very blury. I instantly knew I was deaming. I dont know how but I did. I plugged my nose and could still breathe out of it. I was really excited, but almost more scared and confused about what just happened to me. As I got out of bed, I noticed a Nerf toy at my feet (something I didn’t actually own), which was another dream sign. I tried to flip on the lights but they didn’t work. Then I thought about flying, so I just hopped a couple of times up and down. I didn’t actually ‘fly’ but i knew that I stayed in the air longer than usual.
My goal was to go see the Rocky Mountains when I first LDed so I started to spin and I closed my eyes and focused on going there. I opened them with no luck. I tried a second time and slowly opened my eyes to see a massive mountain range in front of me, with an orange colored sky. Right as I looked around the dream started to fade and I was back in my room. It was an amazing experience, but a little frightning in the beginning. I almost think that my induction was something other than MILD, what do you think?
