I'm no expert (I've never successfully completed a WILD), but from the experiences I've read, you may have actually been in a dream when it felt like you suddenly "woke up." You should have done a reality check. |

...I woke up around 5 AM, feeling EXTREMELY tired. I was awake enough to want to lucid dream, so I just layed there and tried to WILD. Immedietly, I fell very deep into hypnogagic imagery. I could feel the bed moving and shaking and sliding under me, though I knew it was all just an illusion. Then, just as quickly, I snapped back awake. Again, I tried to fall asleep, and again, as I felt my body vibrate, I woke up. I tried it several more times, and ended up staying awake for about an hour. |

this has happened to me a few times. I beleive that the world around you looks a certain way when you are dreaming (non-lucid of course) If you noticed the vibrations at all, then it possibly could have been that, that canceled out your WILD. |

This happens when your body wants to go to sleep no matter what. To your body it doesnt matter that you are awake. I call this condition a "Chain WILD" because you can experience WILD many times until you finally enter a dream or as in your case shrug the feeling off. I have my own problems with entering WILD, but when I experience Chain WILD I usually succeed. Most of the time I go with the flow till I find myself in a stable dream, but last time I actually did a backflip once I felt like the WILD is deep enough. |

I'm sure I was awake. I did do a few reality checks, and this was the first time something like this had happened to me while I attempted a WILD. As soon as I felt the vibrations, I guess I got excited and just woke myself up. But it seemed like just noticing them kept me awake. |

Just wondering, but what's a WILD? Have something to do with awakening during lucid dreaming? |
