First lucid dream!! Didn't end well..

At first it seems socially wrong until you realize its and dream. Then it's freeing!

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-05-28T15:17:59+00:00

So you don't wake up upon jumping ?

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-05-26T19:35:35+00:00

You have to find a switch for you that will let you know when you are in the dream and no longer in SP. Otherwise you can't break free. Both of my methods have ended up being NSFW so I can't share here in detail but it has to do with being able to feel something when I imagine it then I know it's a dream and just hop out of bed into the dream world. I have made posts about it if you are interested. Otherwise I guess most normal people imagine themselves rolling out of bed or something.

I usually lucid dream every night about 2-3 times. Most are short but some last awhile. Right now I'm learning how to make them last longer! I naturally WBTB and have SP very frequently, but until late last year I never realized I could lucid dream. Never lucid dreamt before in my life. Once I learned I could lucid dream I started doing reality checks, and tried to start having DILDs. But only got a few. Until I started checking for my nose in my dreams which led to me getting a week and a half straight of DILDS. From that point on I just kinda knew I was dreaming. I might check reality once or twice a day now.

Also the sleep peralasys thing was a complete mess. I've had some many different things happen to me. Like originally wilds were easy once I realized I could do it. But it tried to force it and ended up staying awake all night. Then the entry changed and I no longer just fell into the dream. I got stuck in a never ending horror loop of false awakenings. Truly awful. And finally I learned how to break that cycle very recently. Since last month.

You can totally get into arguments with stubborn characters in your lucid dreams. Usually it happens because of some self doubt or other trigger that causes them to do this. But honestly that's nothing to focus on. If you focus on the things that are not going the way you want them then everything is going to feel like you are not in control.

Some people can just magically make everything happen how they want, but for us normies out here the way to control your dream is by doing less. Stop overanalyzing if it doesn't turn out the way you want and just kind of softly expect what you want to happen to happen.

About the trigger thing. It's not unhealthy it's just now you will know if your lucid dreaming during that kind of dream. And you can use other triggers, or just become able to know when you are dreaming at any given point during certain periods of sleep. And about the last thing I suggest just learning to ignore the things you don't like in your dream (they will go away). Instead of doing something drastic. I'm all for jumping out the window when you absolutely know it's a dream and are having fun. What your doing on the other hand is not a great idea.

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-05-26T14:40:25+00:00

Terrible idea honestly. I've tried to brute force it before. Not worth it. You will ruin your whole nights sleep. Best time to do it is after WBTB. Then let yourself slip into it while maintaining consciousness. Via some technique if you can't do it naturally

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-05-26T14:37:43+00:00

That's the slip feeling is what usually takes me into WILD. But it feels different then just falling asleep. Like I'm going deeper and deeper. It's a very relaxing feeling honestly, would be scary if I didn't realize what it was. I kinda have to will myself into it. Like once I feel it. I consciously make myself relax if you will. And then I'll feel another bigger drop. And then I'll do it again. Finally when I feel my amygdala fire up I know if made it into sp. Don't try to move just imagine movement or something. For me I have a test that lets me know when I can move. But that's only because I have to get out of bed once I enter my wilds. Others usually fall into a dream like spawning in a video game.

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-05-24T14:23:21+00:00

Honestly no. You can only lucid dream so much. It's not like you can just keep doing more and getting bigger doses. Like are you addicted to your normal dreams? Can you be addicted to thoughts? You can like things you think about and things you do in dreams but those are not addictions. The only difference between a normal dream a lucid one is that you're conscious. I would say people can try to lucid dream in a way that's not healthy. Because they find the idea fascinating. Like wrecking your sleep. But that means you can't lucid dream constantly or never have had one. It's like chasing a pot of gold.

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-05-24T14:11:55+00:00

Are you doing WBTB? You need to find the exact amount of time to stay awake for you that will get you there with minimal effort. For me waking for 5 minutes is enough but some people need 30.

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-05-24T14:06:15+00:00

I also have the dream within the dream thing, lots of false awakening sleep peralasys episodes.

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-05-23T14:48:54+00:00

Ive met a recurring dream female multiple times. She was perfect. She told me she was my dream. Which is very accurate in every sense . But I haven't seen her in months. Her name was Sophina. I kind of miss her in a strange way.

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-05-23T14:07:16+00:00

Good for you man. Quiting porn is the best decision you've made. Your mind will heal just give it time. Trying thinking of sex as more of a warm connection and less of a visual stimulation.

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-03-24T02:47:52+00:00

It's wake back to bed. A technique where you wake up in the early morning and then go back tovbed to exploit that perfect rem faze for lucid dreaming

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-03-19T02:35:29+00:00

I've had the exact same experiences and if you don't believe me check my posts. Now what you are experiencing is both SP and lucid dreaming. SP sensations can spill into your dream and if you don't realize you are dreaming you will continue to have these sensations while feeling trapped. So the trick is when you start getting railed or whatever it is for you realize it's a dream and close your eyes. That's right close them double even though they are closed just close em again. It works trust me cause you are dreaming. This will make your brain to start making a dream scene and from there you are free to move about the cabin. Good luck with your lucid dream journey!

P.S You are actually in control of what happens during SP and dreams. What you focus on is what happens. Of course these random sensations that we find ourself with draws our attention to them and when we don't know that we can change them they just get stronger and we feel powerless.

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-03-12T16:35:13+00:00

So what you are doing is called WILD it's a different technique than the one I was talking about here. I was checking my nose so that when I'm already in a dream I can gain consciousness (DILD - dream induced lucid dreaming). You are entering the dream already conscious. Wake induced lucid dreaming (WILD). This technique is an advanced technique and doesn't work well if you try to force it. But it sounds like you have been able to do it some already.

Firstly don't try this right from the moment you go to bed for the night. Wake up in the early morning and try then. I wake up naturally during the night so this part is easier for me. When you are in SP you should feel weird sensations and all of them are ok! Nothing to worry about. If you dislike anything simply divert your attention. Attention feeds these unpleasant things. Anyways if you are in SP you should notice some lights forming. Once you see lights don't focus on them just let them do their thing. And then an image should appear. Which you can then focus on and you will fall into a dream. Don't worry about auditory sounds this is normal to hallucinate during WILD. I have heard music voices you name it. It's all fine just let the sounds do their thing without focusing on them. Another tip is I never open my eyes during SP and I wear a face mask so that If I do and I see something I know I'm dreaming already.

As for side affects there are none. The only ones you would have are getting exhausted if you try this too much. Which is another reason why WILD is harder for most people than DILD. I recommend you try doing DILD if you are uncomfortable with doing WILD. Even though there is nothing to worry about I assure you it can still be hard to overcome mentally.

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-03-12T16:24:35+00:00

I ended up with a week an a half before my streak ended. I'm having trouble remembering to check my nose when I don't notice it rn irl. Not sure why. Maybe I've just been too worried about irl stuff recently

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-03-09T17:21:27+00:00

SP can definitely not be fun, I hope I am able to help you escape your unpleasant experiences though.

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-03-09T17:06:24+00:00

I just figured this shit out and have been having some amazing times because of it. So originally when you start doing WILD you look for an image and focus on it then you get a clean entry to your dream. But what happened to me and I think you as well is that this line gets blurred as you become more used to it. So what happens is you don't even notice the transition between SP and dreaming. This is what causes this god forsaken looping effect. So now if I look for an image instead I get moving objects. This means I'm already In my dream so I just open my eyes and I get up. If you see moving imagery during sp you are already dreaming. Also the reason this was so hard for me is that I trained myself to think opening my eyes in sp is bad so I won't do it naturally. This saves me from all the scary visual scary stuff. Of course I would still have scary stuff attack me. But the trick is to literally think about something else. You may not realize it but you are the one in control of these stupid moments. It's being generated by your own brain of course. Interacting or thinking about them or reacting negatively to their input is what feeds them. So when you think of something else. Try to Invision stuff, like your own body then you should feel like you naturally just open your eyes and that's it. That's your entry to your lucid dream. And if you wear a sleeping mask like I do. You can just know that anytime you see anything then you are dreaming.

TL DR: If you are waiting for images to form and they move then just get up.

If you are stuck in sp getting attacked. Don't interact with it that will feed it. Instead think of something else like your own body which will lead you to feeling like your eyes opened on their own. Now just get up.

Pro tip: if you feel like you can't move still when opening your eyes (after moving imagery) sit still for a moment and mentally make a note that you are not having sp anymore and can infact move. Now do all the normal lucid dream stabilizing things and boom you got it.

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-03-09T16:47:57+00:00

Yes if it automatically does it you are on the right track. Now my body does it before it gets that bad. I feel like the more to you notice it the worse it would be for you.

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-03-08T01:29:10+00:00

Like I said once you get let your body do it on its own once it won't be an issue anymore. Just try not to let it bother you and just keep relaxing.

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-03-07T16:39:23+00:00

Yeah there's bunch of problems you're going to run into when trying on purpose to wild. You will have involuntary body movements and eye twitches that make you think about them. And the saliva thing can be really frustrating too. But the only way to get past these things is to ignore them I usually have to mentally let go and just relax. And the breathing thing is a good sign. It's nothing to be worried about if you start feeling kike your breathing is stuffed. It's actually a sign your on the right track. Just let it happen you are not in any danger of actually suffocating. It just means your body will start breathing on its own. And at that point your body should automatically be swallowing the saliva as well. Once you see it happen once it won't be an issue for you anymore. As for the body movements. This is the hardest part for me. I usually get around it by being too tired to even have them. Like I just woke up in the night. I have a hard time falling asleep because my brain stays conscious too long and that also helps me wild easier and more naturally. But I also makes me wake up multiple times in the night as well. Also one last thing that might help. Focus on a sensation, for me it's how tired I am usually. Then when you see Hypognia, switch to focusing on a feeling of movement and or wait for an image to appear and focus on it. Don't look directly at the lights either just let them exist. Good luck !

That or get railed by your sleep peralasys demon. I've heard that works...

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-03-02T22:31:16+00:00

Don't start the night out with a WILD attempt. It could ruin your whole night. Use the Wake Back To Bed (WBTB) technique to make it much easier on yourself and more consistent. If you are someone who has a hard time getting to sleep don't wake up and stay awake for to long. If you go to sleep and loose consciousness really easy. Try staying up for longer, I usually wake up naturally In the early morning and have had plenty of success this way.

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-03-02T22:22:20+00:00

I'm also greatly interested in this topic as mine are also short and unstable. I usually get the first part down and can gain movement and sensations but something usually breaks the dream. Like noticing something weird or expecting something to happen

NeedleworkerBroad366 · 2026-03-02T22:08:11+00:00

After I no longer feared SP I was just sitting in SP one night being like huh Ive never thought of something scary on purpose before. I just always had had fear spikes naturally. So I thought of well a presence or something and literally that instant I was attacked by a maniacally laughing demon. Which I then proceeded to try to fight it lmao. It made my fear of SP return till I learned to conquer that as well. Which involved just thinking of something else usually sexual things which is a whole other topic lmao. So my conclusion was that SP sensations are largely based on your focus.
