i think i almost achieved WILD

[lucidspark64]

so last night i tried to induce WILD (tricking body into falling asleep) and there were moments when i felt weightless and numb. At one point i felt my eye lids twitching a lot and behind them i saw mixing shadow color things flashing different images. later i had one of those short brief dreams on and off and i was trying to control them. i achieved control and i remember making somebody talk about the subject that i was lucid and suddenly something woke me up in the real life. it was getting late so i decided to just goto sleep after that because i usually can't rememer my dreams if i goto sleep too late. and i have a question about these random dream images... if they're not hypnagogic, then what are they? just brief dreams before sleep?

I've actually wondered this as well. The "dream scenes" are definately not like the hypnagogic imagery. It's like you see the hypnagogic images, but you just imagine the "dream scenes" yet they seem more dreamlike. I have noticed the "dream scenes" sort of "merge" with the hypnagogic images a few times.
