Was this a WILD near miss?

Hi all,

So far all my LD’s have been by DILD or via FA’s. I’ve never had any luck with WILD. Usually I just end up falling asleep.

Last night I was falling asleep (not trying anything), was getting some HI’s as usual (guess everyone has that), but then found myself in a kind of daydream - though I didn’t realise at the time, where I had gone outside my flat, and was worried that I’d left my keys inside + locked myself out, immediately I woke up - tho not really sure If I was asleep, perhaps only in phase 1 sleep, like I say really just like a daydream. I suppose this sort of thing happens to me from time to time, but not paid much attention to it. But then I started thinking that if I could have held that state I could have LD’d. When I was a kid, I used to fall into these daydreamy states quite easily when falling asleep, and used to have some good adventures, though not really LD, perhaps because I didn’t know about it, though they did seem more ‘real’ than ND’s.

What do you guys think? Is this a first step to build on?

i kind of think so, i dont know much about this, but its a problem i have…i daydream too much and lose focus, and fall asleep without realizing it, and i dont go lucid.
to stop this, i count the powers of 2 (4, 9, 16, so on) until i have to start over.
i think its a step, but if it becomes something that stops you from being conscious while dreaming, id say stop daydreaming, and stay focused, but hey, that doesent happen to everyone.

I think I just got closer without trying. Posted it in my DJ - “my experiences”.
