Ok, so I know for sure that I had 2 lucid dreams last night... one was defiantly during a normal dream, and Lucidity lasted about a minute. It ended when I closed my eyes to imagine some person to form in front of me... when I opened them back open, I was in my bed.

The other dream I'm not so sure about.. it seems like a WILD but I wasn't awake enough to know for sure. I was in my bed... my alarm woke me it at 4 am, like every night. I look around the darkness in my room and think of about lucid dreaming a bit, and the normal dream I just had, but not focusing on it too much.

Then I notice my eyes flickering... and when I close my eyes when they're flickering, I see some colors... is that REM?! Anyway, I kept my eyes closed until for literally 10 seconds and the next thing I remember was seeing this clear blue and green neon colored object rotating behind a clear black background (and I mean crystal clear black, no fuzzy colors), and I heard some weird noises...it scared me a tad, but I kept focused just thinking it was Hypnagonia...

After that image, I woke up in my bed, went down stairs, and punched out my window and did dream stuff XD. I knew I was conscious/lucid because I was like practicing things to prolong the dream.. such as keeping calm, spinning around, and observing the area. The dream lasted about 3 or 4 minutes, my longest lucid so far. While I was in the dream, I closed my eyes and tried to materialize a person, but once I opened my eyes in my dream, I woke up, it was about after 10 minutes last time I checked my clock when I was awake!! I think I shouldn't do that again in future dreams XD. Anyone else wake up like that?

Well, anyways I'm not sure if it was a WILD because I didn't feel any SP, and I just saw that one image really before the dream, but it felt like I hadn't slept in between the dreams. Can WILDs happen that quickly? I've had a WILD before somewhat, no dream though, just the SP feelings. I didn't feel any SP feelings this time. If anyone could answer some of these questions it'd be much appreciated :D

If this isn't a WILD, is it called something else? Also, has anyone entereted a dream in less than 3 minutes from wake to dream? I ask too many questions XD

No, it's WILD! :woohoo:

The colors you saw were HI (hynogogic imagery) and they happen in the transition between waking and dreaming. While you were in SP (you have to be in SP to start dreaming), you sometimes don't feel it.

Also, 3 minutes is fast, but not unheard of. When you WBTB (wake up at 4am), your body can quickly re-enter REM. It sounds like you found your sweet spot for timing to wake up!

So when my eyes were twitching, think that was something to do with REM? I know REM is while you're sleeping but can people get in when they wake up in the middle of the night. The twitch was what gave me the idea to close my eyes to see if I could see anything.

Cool, I spend hours trying to WILD.
I must be doing something wrong.
