It's been 20 days since my last lucid dream. What propelled me to join this website was that lucid dream. Then I started my dream journal only two days after and been journaling every night even since. Tonight I finally had two lucids dreams!!!! I'm so happy!!! :panic: it's very possible that my second one was a W.I.L.D. :banana:
In the first dream I realized I was dreaming after my car's back bumper was about to hit a wall due to it being on neutral. The weird thing that occured to me is that it was taking too to long to hit the wall, even though the wall was only two feet away. :?
I did the reality check with my hand and noticed that my thumb was half there and the other half was fuzzy like when there is bad reception on a tv set. I also noticed another finger missing, I believe it was my index finger. I was so excited. I was finally lucid! :lol: I did not know what to do :roll: but remembered reading something on this site about paying attention to your dream body so I put my hands on my chest and my legs and felt my body. After that I noticed my nephew's face, who was in the dream, changing into Mccauly Culkin's face. I felt this might mean the dream was destabilizing and that I might lose lucidity :shock: so I try to stabilize it by moving around a bit and focusing on other things. I decided to focus my intentions on flying so I bent my knees and began to fly over a body of water. It felt like a body of water somewhere in Rome. I decided to try the nose pinch reality check so I went under water, although a bit hesitant and fearful, and did the reality check. It worked but it didn't provide as much clarity as the five fingers reality check. After that I flew back up and out of the water and continued flying. I noticed the whole time I was flying that the song, "Lady in Red" was playing. When I had gone underwater the volume decreased as it would when going underwater. I decided to look for someone I had a crush in the past. So when I started looking for him while flying and crying out his name...he never appeared. I kept trying and trying until I finally woke up with a splitting headache.
I went to the kitchen with my head pulsating with pain :eek: and popped one excedrin pill. I told my sleepy and patient husband about my lucid dream :yawn: I wrote the dream down in my journal and then I went back to sleep... :bedtime:
The next time I started dreaming I noticed immediately I was dreaming. It was as if I had started the dream already aware even though I can't recall the transition from wakefulness to sleep so I'm not really sure this makes it a W.I.L.D. I can't remember too much about the dream but what I did remember I put it in my dream journal. I had woken up after that lucid as well but at this point the combination of my headache and sleepiness did not make it a priority to remember so I just jotted down some fragments in my journal.
Is it possible that the caffeine in the Excedrin helped me stay focus enough to have a second lucid dream or is it just the fact that I already had one lucid dream that night that made it easier to have another one right afterwards. I also had two cups of coffee in the day rather than my usual one cup of coffee so my caffeine intake was higher than usual that day but not enough to trigger insomnia.
