Please search before posting. It's in the rules.

However, the answer to your question is no. A WILD is a lucid dream induced by going from the waking state directly into a dream, with no lapse in consciousness. You had a lapse in consciousness and apparently went directly into a lucid dream. I would probably classify that as a DILD, but that's just because there isn't anything else I could really classify it as. I've had one like that before and just labeled it a WBTB with Banhurt's Dream Journal program, since I did a WBTB and went into a lucid dream without being in a non-lucid dream prior. Either WBTB (even though it's not an induction method so much as a technique to increase the likelihood of LDs) or a DILD, if you're interested in what to call it.
ClydeMachine pretty well nailed it, but I thought I'd talk about a few other things that you brought up that may help you :)
You can be pretty darn sure that if you've blacked out while attempting a WILD, you didn't get past the transition into the dream state. In fact, in my experience, every WILD attempt that's even come close to successful has been a whiteout, also accompanied by very noticeable visual, aural, or physical abnormalities. The images and sounds and vibrations or other feelings may or may not be as intense for you as they are for me, but the point is, if you really were keeping your mind conscious while your body fell asleep, you'd know it.Quote:
