I tried WILD during a nap today, it wasn't in a good setting since I had tons of distractions. During nights I've had trouble with falling asleep while trying to be aware but this time I felt like all the distractions helped me. Again, I couldn't fall asleep while trying to be aware so I gave up and tried to just sleep for a bit. While waiting to fall asleep I had few moments when I realized that everything was quiet, this was absolutely wrong since my neighbours were loud and cars passed by my house all the time. I had no dreams to jump into and imagining myself in a setting wasn't working either, trying a motionless and nose-pinching RC brought all the noises back. I kept trying to fall asleep normally and soon enough I did, for a second. I thought this might be a false awakening because of how surreal it felt like since even if I can't recall a dream I do remember pretty much always if I had one, this time there was nothing. I RC'd but nothing.
After this I fell asleep properly, woke up twice and those snippets felt like normal dreams and my last one I could remember clearer and in more detail than ever before, I wasn't lucid though.
I remember reading about how one shouldn't try to WILD when first going to sleep because there will be no dream to enter. Is it possible I succeeded in a WILD but wasn't in the correct time of my REM cycle, which is why I woke up with the feeling of not dreaming at all? Of all my attempts this sure felt like the most succesful one even though I wasn't properly trying and didn't have a dream at all.
