LD or Daydream?
LD or Daydream?
So last night I tried the WBTB method again. When I went back to sleep, I found I couldn't stop tossing and turning. So I sat and watched my hypnagogia. It slowly turned from patterns to shapes. Eventually it took the shape of a grassy cave. I found I had control over the scene. I don't know if this was a lucid dream or just a highly vivid daydream.
"I wandered home though the silent streets
And fell into a fitful sleep
Escape to realms beyond the night
Dream can't you show me the light? "

Did it last a long or a short time?

Pretty short. I think about a minute or two.

It was probably part of your meditation

Darn, I was hoping it was my first lucid dream.

That sounds like the start of a W.I.L.D. Sometimes when a DILD lucid dream of mine ends, I keep my eyes closed and experience what I assume is hypnagogic imagery. It's faint, but I start to see random images. Then one time it turned to an image of a brick wall, no color, just black and white. Then the wall started to move. I realized it wasn't the wall moving, but me. It was faint but I was able to go around corners and through what looked like vague tunnels.
The next step I encountered are a buzzing sound, and/or vibrations, and/or weird sensations of sleep paralysis. It is always different, but apparently this is sleep paralysis phase or something.
Only after that have I ever "awoken on the other side". It can truly feel like that sometimes.
I still have never had a lucid dream starting from being completely awake, and it sounds like you experienced the first stage. I still have problems focusing on hypnagogic imagery when I go to bed, and I have a feeling if I learn to meditate it should help.

If we all lucid dreamed this world would be a better place.

Sounds like you're almost there! And i'd say two minutes is a long length of time to sustain that high level of HI. The moment you lose control over the hallucinations is the moment you need to weave yourself into the scene.
Dreaming is my drug
