errr...WILD-ILD?

[james-25:22pm]

ok...im hoping the title caught your attention, because I have no idea what happened to me during my sleeping ventures last night! to those of you helping me with WILD, i thank you for putting up with my persistent questions....but I could find nothing similar to what happened to me, so im afraid I have to ask another! last night 1. woke up after approx 5 hours sleep with my alarm 2. had a drink...went to the bathroom...kept lights off 3. went back to bed....on my back (but Im a side sleeper) 4. did a mix of breath counting and Clairity's "alphabet" technique 5. continued this for...im not sure how long...but now 6. *gap in memory/consciousness maybe (i can't imagine it was very long at all)* 7. sitting up in my bed...I reality check on my clock...and I'm dreaming! 8. i explore the lucid world for a while....then 9. *short gap in recall* 10. sitting up in my bed...i reality check on my clock...and I'm dreaming 11. I explore the lucid world for a while...then 12. *short gap in recall* 13. sitting up in my bed...i reality check on my clock...and I'm dreaming 14. I explore the lucid world for a while...then 15. *short gap in recall* 16. sitting up in my bed...i reality check on my clock...and I'm dreaming 17. I explore the lucid world for a while...then 18. woke up....remembered it...and went to sleep i may add...I went back to bed at 5...and when I woke (at step 18) it was 5:35. Hence, why i believe my gaps in recall of being awake may be very short... I HAVE no idea what happened...the weird gaps before my RCs lead me to believe I fell asleep....I felt no transition...not "shift in awareness". I always thought WILD was constantly conscious...but I have these massive blanks? so i thought...I don't know what happened...but I dont think it was WILD.... but then i think to myself....i don't use my bedside clock for reality checks...i use my wristwatch....and Id probably only done 3 RCs that entire day. I never even thought of my dream starting in my bedroom or anything? I had no VILD prepared, so it wasnt that... hence WILD-ILD! its like i induced lucid dreams by failing WILD, or are these weird gaps in my recall JUST before I beging my dream normal? any help would be great! id never read anything like this on dreamviews before! If it was wild...HOORAY! 4 lucids in one night is awesome...even though i only remember 2!
