Now I am confident I can consciously reach that pre-dreamstate again, but what to do in such a situation? What to do in order to Recognise it as the DreamState and enter it and how to not make it fade away, but hold that image? Where do you successfull WILDers suggest I go from here?
It happens, I think you were just a little unlucky, I had a similar problem last night when just as I realised I was dreaming, I had a feeling that someone was in my bedroom and opened my eyes. I guess the rational mind just sometimes lets you down.
