WILD Dream Journal

Wanted to post a quick update before getting into my dream. I've been trying to become a more natural lucid dreamer which is probably why its been 2 weeks+ since having my last lucid dream. Originally, I dove straight into WBTB and had a lot of success with it when I was taking naps during the day but since I have stopped and decided to try WILD on the weekends after the majority of my sleep.
After having 5 successful WILDs and a handful of lucid dreams I've noticed a level of control inside my non lucid dreams that I never had before. It seems like I make decisions and influence dreams understanding that no harm can come to me. In the rare cases that I feel fear any more in a dream I wake myself up immediately. My dreams have become more enjoyable in general and more interesting then the dreams I recall having before trying lucid dreaming.



Last night I fell asleep an hour and a half later then normal. I woke up in-between my REM cycles twice and the third time I woke up (7:30) I helped my GF take out the trash. After I went back to bed and began attempting WILD. My body was very tired, which I think was a result of me going to bed later then normal and I found myself very relaxed when I laid down. I didn't have to clear my mind much before imagery came on. The imagery I experienced resulted from my thoughts. I was picturing my cabinets and what was inside, I could not remember what was in the middle shelf and when I finally remembered the imagery became very strong and it was almost like I was looking right at my cabinet. Shortly after this I felt a moderate to strong vibration throughout my entire body, it was like I was bouncing up and down in my bed. I recognized this as a transition and tried to stabilize my dream to quickly and found myself awake in my bed deep in sleep paralysis.



After this failed transition I moved because the sleep paralysis I was experiencing was fairly uncomfortable on my neck. After struggling with a lot of thoughts I tried clearing my mind and suddenly without any imagery I was falling to my right. This transition was much stronger then the vibrations and I slowly tried to stabilize my fall I imagined I was using a jet pack and slowly leaned left then back right and shortly after the falling sensation subsided.

I purposely did not try to visualize any kind of dream scape and just opened my eyes. I found myself laying in a bed inside a room I have no memory of. When I felt stabilized I began trying to say my name out loud. I found myself unable to speak so I began projecting my thoughts very loudly and clearly inside my dream. I stated my name multiple times and I tried to remember what day it was. It took me a second but I remembered that it was Saturday morning. After projecting it was Saturday morning I tried to remember what I had done recently and the only thing I was able to think of was that I had awaken and fallen back asleep.

After stating these I tried to get out of the bed and found myself unable to move. I tried pulling myself out and after failing I decided I would try to transition to a new dreamscape. I closed my eyes and tried to spin, this came very naturally and I found myself rolling slowly to my right and down. After 3 rolls I opened my eyes and found myself in a bedroom very similar to the one I was in but I was floating in the air. I turned to my right and saw a doorway and I floated over to it. As I approached it I noticed there was huge trim on the walls. I decided to float on the top edge of the trim and used it as a guide. As I was floating across it I came to an corner, on the other side of the corner was a set of stairs. I could see a concrete floor at the bottom. I paused at the corner and clinched my legs on either side. I looked at my hand and shoved my right index finger through my left palm at first only a little was coming through but slowly the left side of my top palm began stretching, the part I was stretching was turning red and I remember thinking "this is the kind of stuff you can do in dreams, this is awesome" then I pushed myself down the trim piece and found myself inside of a very large garage. Directly in front of me was a small red and black pocket bike that was taken apart into pieces. to the left of the pocket bike was a cheap card table that had a computer screen on it and there was a chair pushed into the card table. I floated past the computer and pocket bike and saw a really nice bright red car to the right parked in the garage. I do not recall what model or make it was but I turned back to my left and saw an open garage door which I walked through.

After walking through the garage door I was outside and there was a small electric fence I had to hop over. Then I recall looking at the lawn and thinking that I knew exactly where I was, I thought I was in the town I grew up in and the lawn looked very familiar. In the center of the lawn was a bright red jacked up truck. It was a lawn decoration and there was a sign placed on the truck. I did not read the sign and I looked to my left where there was a road. Parked on the road was a huge monster truck. After looking at the truck for a little bit I turned back around to my right and without realizing it the garage I walked out from had disappeared and was replaced by another two bay garage. I remember seeing a really nice road bike on display inside of the garage and I floated over to it. I remember inspecting the bike then as I got to the bag that was sitting above the seat, almost like a backrest it had a logo on it which I tried to read. The logo said in a very nice design New Persona and after looking at the bike a little longer my dream quickly faded, it was nearly instant and it felt almost like my REM cycle had ended. I was not excited and I do not think my excitement etc. was the reason for this dream ending.

The entire feeling I had through the dream was "this is awesome" the dream was full of very high detail and lasted for what felt like 5-10 minutes. It was a lot of fun and a relief after not having one for some time.
