I can WILD very quickly, but not very well.

[Rainman]

This morning, I made a discovery. If I wake up in the night (which everyone mostly does several times,) I can WILD very rapidly, and with great ease. I know exactly how to just make it happen. For the transitioning part of the WILD, the method that seems to "work" for me typically, is rolling out of myself and into my dream bedroom, at which point I'd spin and be somewhere else. But for some reason, more often than not, when I use this technique, I feel my dream body move, and I know it's my dream body, and I've learned to tune out all other sounds, and sights that are scary, and genuinly think nothing of them. The problem is, when I try to open my dream eyes, they open, and I see a dreamscene, but simultaneously, I see the real world. Maybe i"m not actually seeing it, and it's just my dream self being confused, but it seems like I"m actually opening my physical eyes. I also feel like my movement is very sluggish, as though I have the consistancy of molases. It's very very difficult for me to move, no matter what I do, and so usually I just wake up. Today, I am CERTAIN I WILDed, because I was with my girlfriend, and she sleeps HEAVILY. I mean out cold completely, nothing could wake her. When I moved my dream body, she appeared to say something in another language. I did a mental RC, and knew for absolute certain that I was dreaming her talking, and that she was still certainly asleep. How do I overcome this feeling of duality? I could literally wake my real self up, look around my real room, then fall back asleep, and be in a lucid dream instantly upon closing my eyes. It's to the point to where, I can get to this wild stage extremely easily whenever I want (if I've already been sleeping), but I can't move! I mean I can, but I get stuck. Like when I try to roll out of myself, I feel as though I'm strapped down onto my back, and it's SO hard to get up or do anything. Help? -Rain

I belive you should focus your attention into your dream body, and not on the real one. I have never even reached SP, but that's my guess.

Do not try to open dream eyes. Just touch items around, and wait for dream scene to appear. I did a mental RC, and knew for absolute certain that I was dreaming her talking, and that she was still certainly asleep. How do you do a mental RC?

That's hard to explain for me. When I'm dreaming, I just suddenly realize that it's all a dream. I'm not sure how to explain it. All I have to do is ask myself, "is this a dream?" and I'll know that it is a dream immediately.
