So I tried another WILD after having been sick the last two days, and thus not doing any method, and it failed.

However, after I stopped trying to WILD I just set about to failing asleep (the difference will become clear), and for about six months I always see something very close to falling asleep. Originally it always startled me back awake, though causing no mindful transgressions. Sometimes this does or does not happen, about 50/50, well as I slid into sleep I thought to myself "Why not initiate a WILD here?" (I do not know why I can't go to sleep with a blank mind intending WILD, but can go to sleep with a Full mind intending sleep... nigh on pissing me off)

So tried, "I'm dreaming, I'm Dreaming" and the vibrations came and went. This is when I told myself to open my eyes- It was hard, and there appeared colours around the edges as I opened my lids. To my horror I was presented with my room.

I figure it was either:

1. A false awakening, (I beleive this, as there is no seperation between the awakening and my next dream.)

2. A real awakening, especially given how hard it was to open my eyes- as though I was battling my already asleep body to open them in reality. I then closed my eyes and just went back to bed immediatly, explaining why there was no seperation.


On another note, all morning I was playing with my dreams as I've trained myself to wake up after a shortwhile (20- no more than 30 minutes), at one point my mind broke from the dream story I was enjoying, and I found myself waking up slowly in bed listening to music. I didn't open my eyes I just listened, then I realised I didn't have my nodes on.

I opened my eyes and the music stopped. So I concentrated and I was able to start it again, I was amazed I could hear it so clearly, every piano note struck. As a Piano, and Violin player this talent would be such a welcome addition to my composition. At one point I did put the nodes in and started my Archos, the only thing that played was some really crappy country singer (Country rots the mind, no offence ) with a fiddle player that had no rhythm- much to my shagrin EVERY track was the same guy! I then awoke, upset I lost my talent.
