Paralysis
My first WILD this morning! I slept about 5 hours, from 11 to 4 am. After I got up, I spent some time on DreamViews, especially studying Mzzkc's Comprehensive WILD Guide. Around 6:15 I felt sleepy and decided to lay down and try what I would learned. I am already well-practiced at the 61-point relaxation technique from extensive yoga nidra practice over the last several years. So I began with that, then chose my breath as a passive anchor. I just allowed myself to drift toward sleep. I stumbled a few times around the sleep paralysis stage but I tried to apply what I learned here. After about 10 minutes, I found myself in a dream - and I knew I was dreaming! There was no sense of excitement, and the dream was poor quality, it only lasted a few moments, and I had no control ... but it was definitely lucid. I find myself looking at a wall of bookshelves, full of multi-colored books of many shapes and sizes. The book titles are blurry and out of focus. I think "This dream is out of focus. I would better put my glasses on." I put my glasses on, and the books come - slowly - into focus. "How interesting!" I think. "These glasses work even in my dream!" I remove the glasses and put them on again several times, just observing the interesting fact that they work in a dream. Then the dream faded away and I emerged into semi-consciousness. I tried to re-enter the dream state several times but was not successful.
