Thread: First WILD Attempt - what next?

So, I think I've made a lot of progress in the last few months since I decided to start pursuing lucid dreaming. I now know most of my prominent dream signs and common scenarios. And I have managed to become lucid for a short time on a few occasions.

Last night I tried my first WILD and I think I almost had it. I only stayed up for about 10 minutes and did some equations in my head. Maybe that wasn't long enough?

Anyway, I definitely stayed conscious throuout some very abstract visuals (wierd faces, and strange surroundings). But I could not hold on to it and fell fast asleep.

What should I do when I get to that stage to keep from completely passing out again? I've read some of the tutorials, but they do not address this specific stage of relaxation.

THNX!
