My first Post, My first experience

moved from the pathways forum :moogle:

My first “Lucid” experience was the most surreal event in my life. I had recently watched a music video by the band “Foo Fighters” which was heavily based on Lucid Dreaming. I emediatly began researching this subject and was intrigued by it. That was a year ago and i was fifteen. I told my mom about my experience the next morning, sadly, she didn’t share my exitement. Most likely she didn’t understand my experience. I don’t blame her though, i mean, how can you explain the feeling.

I’m not sure which technique i used, but i remember lying on my side and feeling like my soul was escaping my body and i began to like… “have a seizure” or something. I was really exited and don’t remember much, just that i was in a castle like building with alot of rooms with people in them. It was all over before i began to experiment with my new found ability and potential.

Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks :tongue:

Hi Bonaparte1812, welcome to the forum! :wave:

(we already have a NapoleonDynamite, now we have a Bonaparte :grin: )

LD’ing is rather difficult to understand to people who never experienced it. It’s normal, it’s rather paradoxal to be conscious and experiencing a world that seems completely real during sleep. :smile:

It depends on the state you were in at the beginning of your experience. If you were awake when it happened, it was a WILD - wake initiated lucid dream - (or OBE if you believe in OBE’s). If you were deeply sleeping when it happened, it’s theorically a DILD (dream initiated lucid dream).

In DILD’s it’s rarer to experience the feeling of having his soul escaping his body, it’s more common during WILD’s. Now, experiencing WILD-like/OBE-like sensations during a DILD occurs sometimes.

Thanks Basilus West.
