I don't think you can do it with your eyes open .. I just don't think it's possible ahaha.
Also, same with me during math class, I achieved a full on WILD, but I wasn't able to transition it into a dream haha.

You achieved a full on WILD but you couldn't transition into a dream? That makes absolutely no sense.

OT, getting into SP requires that you are falling asleep, not just sitting still, so can you fall asleep with your eyes open? If so, then you can WILD with your eyes open...

Pardon me, haha, I was wrong, I meant to say "a full on sleep paralysis" I was dozing off during that time, but luckily the teacher didn't care. I felt the vibrations, and it was quite strong, the noise was really loud too, and the hypnagogic hallucinations I was seeing were quite vivid. But yes, I'm sorry, I almost WILDed then. . .

It might not have been SP; it could just have been numbness? Sort of like a dead leg? SP generally results in you being completely unable to move, so I hope that's not what happens to you in lessons

I took too much cold medicine one time in junior high, and had a spontaneous out of body experience during class. It can happen. Were you fighting off sleep during a boring lecture? That seems to be an awesome time to WILD. That groggy, "nodding off," feeling is exactly what you are trying to achieve during a WILD. Your body is falling asleep, but you are fighting to pay attention and stay aware.

I always get that feeling last period in Spanish, but by the time I get home it's gone

Teacher: excuse me, are you sleeping in my class?
Student: well, I'm trying to WILD
Teacher: oh. K

Before I got into lucid dreaming I would get the 'tinglies' all the time (and I still do). Generally during long lectures when I was very relaxed and had a bit of a sleep deficit going, I would start feeling tingly vibrations in my extremities and a feeling as if I was spinning or shaking very quickly. I didn't really know what was going on, but it was always a super enjoyable feeling and it made the lectures tons more fun

Turns out this is exactly what I feel every time I attempt to WILD (I haven't succeeded in actually WILDing yet however).

I don't think that was SP. I was told by Pan, one of the best lucid dreamers around, that there are two sets of vibrations: the initial ones that come from being numb after around 5 minutes, and the actual SP, which might not happen for 2 hours. It sounds like you were experiencing the first type, which is just your body adjusting to not moving for several minutes.

I've never actually achieved it myself, but I've read that SP is a much more intense experience, where you feel sensations such as falling or rising and possibly experience hypnagogic hallucinations.
