Hey all. I'm not new to the field of lucid dreaming, although it's been a year or two since I last got involved with it. I've never succeeded in having a lucid before, although I've gotten relatively close.

Anyway I got back into it about a month ago and I've been reading this forum for a while, so I know a lot of the people on here. I say that to avoid people being freaked out when I mention them lol.

I contracted a fairly mild case of tonsillitis yesterday and consequently stayed home from school today. I knew that you have a better chance of lucid dreaming when it's not in your usual sleep patterns, so I figured it would give WILDing another shot. Here's what happened; it's fairly frustrating lol:

I must have fallen asleep, because I dreamed that I was reading this forum and I found a link called "Clairity's Guide to WILDing" I don't remember at the moment if that's a real link here or not. Anyway I clicked on it and suddenly found myself sitting in a relaxing chair and Clairity was there in person telling me how it was going to work. She held cotton balls over my eyes while explaining that when she counted to 5 I would start feeling vibrations, and then when she got to 10 I would be lucid and in a WILD. Unfortunately, I woke up before she got to 5.

So I know I'm not alone in stupid ways to miss becoming lucid, but this one's especially frustrating because I do RCs like every 2 minutes while I'm reading this forum... I should have caught on. AND I was having a dream about a person who I associate a lot with lucid dreaming, trying to help me have a lucid dream, and I NEVER BECAME LUCID.

Lol anyway that's me. Good to finally talk to all you
