Last night I did WBTB, after taking a break for the weekend. My alarm was set for 6am, I got up and surfed the forums for 15 minutes or so, then laid back down and related a MILD mantra a few times. When I rolled onto my side it felt like I just plopped into a dream, but I didn’t realize it until I looked at a clock after a few minutes. is it possible that I just fell asleep without noticing and entered a dream normally?
I don’t try to do WILD yet, aside from a few times out of curiosity, just MILD, WBTB, and “spontaneous awareness” during the day (SAT?)
Well, it could be very easily, usually rolling over is one of the techniques for making the transition from waking life into a dream, so yes most probably you did WILD.
Try to repeat those steps and see what happens next time,
does WILD always lead directly to a lucid dream or can it start as a ND?
