WILD experience

So I tried WILD again last night when going to bed, I was dead tired and was only on about 4 hours of sleep after staying up for 2 days. So I always wondered what its like to have a FA, because im almost sure I never had a dream in which I woke up in my bed, and wondered what it would be like to have a dream like that and to become lucid.

So anyways, I had a FA, I woke up in my bed at my home which im currently not sleeping at ( visiting a friend), I remember thinking it was a dream (I have ‘instant’ thoughts in my dreams, anyone else have these?) but in case it wasnt I didnt want to ruin my WILD by moving so another ‘instant’ thought was to not do anything, just lie there, I didnt do a reality check (big mistake), I went with my ‘instant’ thought/gut feeling that I was dreaming and to not move, i only began to try and control the dream immediately with my eyes while lying in my bed, throughout this dream, i remember it as intense and vivid and it was filled with HI imagery, colors and flashes.

So anyways, as soon as I woke up in my bed, I looked up at the ceiling and remember thinking about just ‘alternating’ the room, than bam I could see a bike in the air clear as day, but then it started flashing colors/appearing and disappearing, kinda like a holographic effect? it was just flashing colors and I couldnt control it, this made me lose my confidence more and more til the bike just faded to nothing, this caused me to believe I wasnt dreaming even though its impossible to see a bike floating in your room, I remember that even though there was no more bike, I could see the HI colors everywhere in my peripheral vision, like rainbows were shooting in the corners of my eyes or something, but when I looked around, the room was clear and vivid as real life, but I still went with that I wasnt dreaming anymore with no reason or logic behind it just a complete loss of confidence/lucidity, but after that, I lied back in my bed and closed my eyes, I tried to reenter the dream DURING the dream using WILD techniques, I tried to float out of my body, I remember feeling a lot of weird things, instead of my body floating, I think when I closed my eyes it wasnt that my body was rising so it could float, it was my surroundings that instantly disapearred and gave my body space to float? then after this just blank, and dream over.

Anyone else experience this? You become low lucid without a reality check, but then doubt yourself only after doing something impossible? then try and reenter a dream DURING your dream using WILD? Lol, was the weirdest dream I have ever experienced, and so far its the most clear and vivid dream I had since I started my dream journal.

Well, I can’t say I’ve ever heard of someone WILD’ing during an FA, but it doesn’t really surprise me. In an FA, you do everything you would when you normally wake up (plus some other rather random dreamy things). There have been many FA’s in which I have written in my DJ before going off to drive my hover car to the moon.

The main thing to prevent this is to train yourself to do an RC when you wake up, no matter what. It’s true, you do risk losing a chance for a chain dream, but especially when you’re newer to LD’s you need to make this a habit.
