      WILD while sleeping? (I know this sound paradoxal)

      I have been trying to WILD for some time now.
      Before I would get tingly sensations and hypnogogic (sp?) imagery, but lately, nothing. Last night I woke up at 4 trying to WILD, but I got nowhere, so I decided to give up and just go to sleep. After an hour or so I finally stop being awake and start a non-lucid dream. After about 30 seconds in this dream, I suddenly feel jolts through my body.
      I get the imagery, my mind becomes fully aware, and suddenly I see a picture of a brown dragon far away. The image grows wider, and as it does, the sound coming from it gets louder, but somewhat muffled. Soon the picture is all I see, and I "fall into it", and the sound and my vision gets clear, and the dragon in front of me is moving.
      I am fully lucid, and I do some vocal commands to stabilize the dream and increase vividity. I manage to hold lucidity for 20 seconds, but then my mind tricks me that I was just playing a computer game with the dragon in it, and I lose lucidity. I now go on dreaming non-lucid.

      My question: Could this have been a WILD? I don't think so, since i wasn't acctually awake. Then what was it? Did my dream simulate a WILD, and I became lucid when I realised what it was? Grateful for any ideas...

      Another question: I never get any common false awakenings, like I wake up in my bed, but rather that I am walking somewhere recalling the dream I just had, or, like in this one, I think it was just a game. Is there any way to prevent this, except RT's?

      A WILD is when you enter a dream already lucid, so this one seems like just a good old lucid dream-which is awsome, by the way.

      Reality Checks seem to be the only popular way that i know, perhaps someone with more experience could answer that.

      games r the worst thing to happen to lucid dreams, gaining lucididity isnt hard for me when im myself in a dream but alot of the time im in a game and i cant grasp that its a dream.

      computer games will destroy ur imagination.
      Im a bit like WindowsXP, I can sort of multi-task but every now and then I crash.

      (I guess I'll post it again )

      Erised, I had almost the same thing. However it was absolute simulation of WILD.
      I've found myself on a bed, it was dark. I was in another country with another people sleeping in the same room.
      So I tried to do WILD. I close my eyes and feel weird sensations. I'm afraid that I'll go into LD ( My first LD at that time) and something bad is gonna happen. I scream, hoping that it will keep me awake. Dream characters in the room tell me to relax, and I feel like I have enough strength to "dive" in a LD. So I close my eyes and go with the flow. Within seconds I find myself in a subdream, and become lucid...


      About false awakenings - try making a big poster which says "Do a RC NOW!" and hang it next to your bed. It will remind you to do a RC every time you wake up...

      Ack roughly about half my dreams are in a game of some sort. Usually they'll switch back and forth between 'reality' and a game, but since I'm dreaming I never notice it.
