I began the WILD process this morning, but couldn't be bothered finishing it off. Basically I instead went to sleep to try have a normal DILD, at one point I see myself in hypnagogic state and can tell a dream is forming around me. I simply let it form using my mind to pull me in, like for a WILD and ended up in a very realistic dream in my Dad's living room. The touch, feel and general presence were that I was actually there, knew I was dreaming and in a way that was way ahead of any lucid dream I have ever had. I start doing things - masturbation, invited friends around who invited girls around. Upon waking I originally thought it was an accidental WILD but I then remembered being in a previous dream (or maybe an earlier part of the dream) where I was showing off magic without realising I was dreaming. I'm unsure if it was a different dream (in which case the lucid was a DEILD) or if the magic was part of same dream and the hypnagogic state was then an opportunity given to not escape a dream, which I then took.
Been attempting WILDs on a daily basis, still experimenting. On Wed morning I felt like I was about to either OBE or go into WILD after having gone through much of the process, but again didn't quite make it. I decided then to move to plan B and go to sleep and try for a DILD. Next thing I'm in a classroom and the vibrating noise I had in my ears when I tried to do a WILD was there and Iet it grow until I OBEd. At that point I became lucid, albeit mildly, and used it to fly. I became more lucid as I went on albeit my memory wasn't great even immediately afterwards. Last thing I remember was landing in a bedroom where a lady was reading a book on iPad and upon my mental suggestion when she gently swiped it a paperback copy materialised out of the device.
To cut a long story short I have been trying WILDs lately. I can see it will be useful to learn and that I have an idea of how to do it, as I would like to get more routine LDs and practice more. Today I did get quite far. I started with counting breaths to 300, then went into a mantra meditation known as John Main meditation. I got to a point where I was getting moving images. Didn't quite make it to sleep paralysis and then decided to go to sleep normally. I dreamt one of my sisters gave me a surprise visit in my flat. After waking up I was thinking about asking her by text if it really happened or was it a figment of my imagination, then I lay down on my other side. I could hear a ringing in my ears and let it get stronger - it sounded like motorbike humming. Next thing I had some moving imagery of a motorbike and it going out of control. Next thing I was in a dream, but didn't realise it (my penis was in front of me, but in 2D and flat). Had I realised it would have been actually a DILD, induced because of the WILD process. Early days, but I can see this progressing with practice.
