Thread: Gogic or Pompic?

Yes prolly... although I was awake enough to remember the previous dream, I even opened my eyes and turned my pillow over on one occassion (I like the cold side&#33
How long do you have to be awake, or how wide-, before its not DEILD but WBTB/ WILD?
Am I getting pedantic - or is there an important distinction?

I'm certainly no expert. I may be wrong about that acronym - but you are clearly (it seems to me) using a dream re-entry method.

WILD involves an awareness of the whole process of falling asleep while maintaining consciousness. I guess this is the distinction I was making. On afterthought, I think there are several (at least) "flavors" of WILD.

I guess there's three basic main types then:

DILD (asleep)
WILD (awake)
re-entry (half asleep)

all the other methods are variations of the above?

Plus I guess there's a set of methods that rely on assistance from machines or drugs etc.

Now I'm jsut stating the obvious rather than being pedantic!
