WILD progress (i think)

Lately (since i started trying to LD), my dream-self (the stupid unconcious one) has been “knowing” that it’s dreaming, but taking the dream seriously as reality anyway (hard to explain). For instance, as i was having a ND last night, i knew exactly what was going to happen, and i explained it by thinking that this was a recurring dream, and i was remenbering what had happened last time (i’m not sure if it was actually recurring, probably not.). No lucidity though. I thought this was just a good sign, but completely useless. Except this morning, at about 6, i was thinking about trying to wake up tonight after a dream, and try to go straight back into WILD. Well i drifted off accidentally into an ND (i wasn’t trying anything, just laying there) and i (in the ND) was thinking about that. At the end, when it was apparent that i was going to die soon, and thus wake up, i was thinking that dying wouldn’t be a waste, and i could try WILD(still unconcious). So after, rather calmly, being dragged down a hill at 100mph by a rabid wolf (yes, the dream was about gang/pack wars, but both gangs had both wolves and humans(and yes, i’m strange)) i woke up.i was awake, and i didn’t move. i had the vibrations going almost instantly, but i couldn’t clear my mind, as i was lying with my elbow skewering my lungs… i eventually lost the vibrations and gave up, but that was the best progress i’ve made yet.

Now, the point. A question in fact.
Was this actually progress, or was this (the vibrations) just like the transition out of the dream? (the farthest i ever get before the boredom gets the better of me, apart from this occasion, is the “pins and needles”/ tingling part)

Thanks for reading my unnecicarially long post.

I have the same problem. the other night I had a dream were i had a bunch of pet fishes, except they were more like dogs in that, they just swam around the air in the house. Anyways, I was thinking “hey this is the kind of thing you would see in real life that would justify a reality check.” But I never did one.

yeah, i “know” pretty much all the time now, if you do too, then try thinking about waking up/WILD briefly next time you sleep…

Also, as i tried, HI was starting. I saw a black bar, moving like a windscreen wiper… I should have paid mor attention to it, to let go of mor conciousness.

This stuff means you are getting closer to a LD. I’ve had it too and still have it on occasion, a very clear dreamsign that i’m dreaming, or i will just think “hey this is a dream so i have super powers”, but I wont go lucid… so, it is progress after all!
