ok so ive only had a lucid dream during a nightmare and i told myslef wait a minute this is a dream wake up! and i did. but then i didnt know about luicd dreams and stuff at the time. but i wanted to try techniques so i tried something i saw on here when i focus on a lightswitch and take deep breaths, 1-i am dreaming…you know the deal. at count 14-i am dreaming i felt flashes fading in and out on my closed eyelids…heat you could say on my face and tingling…then my hearing seemd to be getting muffled. i figured i was going to have a dream there possibly lucid. then someone opened my creaky door and i snapped out of it. then i fell asleep…woke up at 3…i figured might aswell do the breathing thing maybe try to do it again…i counted to 2-i am dreaming and faded into this medeviel looking landscape and though i was haveing a lucid dream…i was so excited that i just ran around asking all these ppl “am i having a lucid dream?” but no one wud answer…then i woke up. when i woke up i was like surely that was a lucid dream…but now i think maybe lucidity was in my head for so long that i dreamt about having a lucid dream…what do u think?
One thing: WOW.
That was totally a successful WILD attempt when you entered that medieval-looking place. If you knew you were dreaming, then you were lucid. It happens often that DCs don’t answer to such questions.
oh cool. yea i was wondering but in the dream i was thinking to myself maybe there not Dream Characters and maybe there part of the scenery or somthing. then i searched for a dream character and my mind knew it so out apperead a big black centipede looking thing with a mediveal war-helmet on and somehow i knew in my mind it was a DC and then i woke up before i could say anything
Wow, that’s awesome! (I got a WILD on my first try doing the same counting thing, only did it again once since, I’m simply too lazy, laughs) I would say you indeed had an LD, next time try doing reality checks instead of asking DC’s because they’re not very helpful for things like that. They’ll either act like you’re crazy or completely ignore you, (at least that’s been my experience.) You seem like you’re a natural, good for you! gives high-five to fellow natural buddy
You only had to count to 2? That’s incredible! You’ll be a pro in notime.
I thought that with wild you had to go into sleep apralysis and everything
What time did you do it at? and also,
Is this lightswitch in your head or are you actually looking at one?
oh this was a lightswitch in my head…i proly wpuldnt be able to if i had my eyes open haha.
and yea i only had to count two…but it was most likely because i was so freakin tired haha
Yeah, but the thing can either go really fast or you can enter SP at the same time as the dream. In fact, everytime I did WILD, I never noticed the SP. Probably because I didn’t focus on it.
Oh that’s cool, I’ve never tried WILD I want to but I’m too scared of SP lol. Well not so much the being paralysed but the whole old hag thing and all that I don’t know how likely it is but I figure if you think about it happening it’s probably more likely to happen but I always can’t help thinking about ti happen.
I’m guessing you mixed this with WBTB? or an afternoon nap. I don’t think it’s possible during first going to sleep
