Last night I decided to be intentional about having an LD. It had been a week or so since the last one due to stress and cold, but now over that and on vacation. So after WBTB I started a mantra to know when I am dreaming, and fell asleep. Twice I did that, and dreamed, and I knew in my dream I was trying to set the intent. In one of them I said now that the intent was set, next time I fall sleep I may LD, not realizing I was dreaming I had now awakened and was going about my a daily routine thinking I would LD that night. Very frustrating to fail twice that way. So I gave the mantras up and said something like 'remember which reality you are in' to myself, then tried relaxing. After awhile I felt my body swinging across my bed...the toes feeling the mattress. I thought this was probably a good thing...so I went with it and kept it going. I maybe fell asleep but if so very briefly and and these two girls were walking toward me, and I knew immediately I was in a dream and was lucid.

Now, I have had similar feelings of body movement like that. I have never experienced sleep paralysis even though have attempted WILDs before. Is this like an almost WILD that bypasses sleep paralysis by briefly falling asleep? It seems like an almost instanam.t transition, but no SP and no 'becoming aware' but just knowing from the start I am dreaming.
