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?
