So last night was the night of my senior homecoming. After dinner i decided to take one of those 5 hour energy shots around 9pm and then i drank a whole 16oz Amp energy drink after the dance. When I got home I went to bed around 2am, went to bed and listened to some music. I listen to music to get relaxed and prepare for WILDs sometimes: this time it was just to relax.

I started drifting off to sleep, but I could not actually GO TO SLEEP. I remember entering a dream where I was driving on a road and as I was driving, trash cans were placed in the middle of the street causing me to swerve out of the way to avoid them. At dinner, some friends and I were talking about how we used to screw with people by putting various objects in the street.

This finally registered within my brain and I was REALLY EXCITED THAT I was lucid in this dream, unfortunately i wasn't in a deep enough sleep to actually keep the dream stable. Instead the dream faded and within the blacks of my eyes, i saw snapshots of the dream forming and dissipating.

This is where things got weird:

Knowing that I was awake, i decided to try and WILD for the night. I tried to attempt the "M WILD": a topic on here a week or so ago. Every time I thought about getting out of bed, the SP grew more intense. All the sudden my whole body was in between to states of mind. Then I realized -

CRAP, I cant enter the dream world when my music is playing THIS loud! And yet it was also playing my favorite song. I put my hands up to my ears to take the headphones off and then

Nothing. My music wasn't playing at all and I didn't even have my headphones on! I took them off 30 minutes before and I must have forgot....

I let that all go and started to relax again.

In the middle of all this my mom comes into my room, opening my door and whispering "Shawn Patrick--" [The way all parents say your middle name when you need to do something.] Hearing her voice, i was disappointed because I knew i feel asleep somewhere and "another WILD was placed in the failed bin."
She kept walking around my room, doing various things and telling me I needed to get up. I kept my eyes closed because I was still a bit tired and as soon as she opened my blinds, the shade of my eyes turned a little more red. I kept telling her that I was going to get up soon and that i was still tired from homecoming. I actually started to talk to her at this point.

I was so mad that she wouldn't leave me alone, that I sat up on my bed and then --


Nothing. My room was pitch black. My blinds were still closed. My door was still closed. My mom no where in site. I looked at my alarm: 3:07 AM.


I never fell asleep. I was awake that entire time. I believed with all my being that IT was the next morning yet, it was 45 minutes later.

It was all dream, without being in a dream.
