Not only was this my first (long) lucid dream since joining but it was also my first true WILD . It was around 11:00 and I was finishing that days "waking journal". Before I finished writing I became very tired and decided to just close my eyes. Within seconds I saw a visual hypnagogic hallucination of an alley, I held still and the scene expanded until it engulfed me. I did not notice it until I was fully immersed but everything was in 8-bit animation. I started sprinting and when I stopped everything had turned into 16-bit. When I started and stopped running a second time everything was normal, at least visually. I decided it would be fun to jump into the clouds and bounce around on them. I jumped as hard as I could (there is not much that compares to the feeling of jumping a mile in the air) but when I landed in them they were made of glass and were very uncomfortable. There are other bits and pieces of the dream but they keep drifting away as soon as I remember them.
