After a night of NLD's I wake up in my bed facing the opposite direction that I typically sleep in. I find that I fell asleep supporting my body on my elbows with my head held in my two hands, and say to myself, "When have I ever fallen asleep like this, this isn't even comfortable! Maybe I'm dreaming." I didn't really believe that I was dreaming, but I decided to do my RC's anyways. I sat up and looked closely at both of my hands. I noticed the incomplete M shape that is formed by the creases in my palms, just like in waking life, and I have all ten fingers. I decided just for kicks to try putting the index finger through my palm and it actually went through! I was shocked and realized it was a dream but was immediately awoken by some loud noise in the waking world. The time was a little after 9 a.m.

Although this LD was short, it was a very unique experience and I'm excited to share it! Also, it was my first successful WILD

I woke up at 5:15 a.m., (which was fine, as I had intended for 5:30) did my standard set of RC's, and after deeming I was awake, attempted a WILD. Within a few minutes of laying still I felt vibrations and then I heard a sound as if both my ear drums had been pierced by a high-pressure stream of air. This air made a ringing whistle sound, and I got too excited. Then the noise faded away. So I tried again, and the noise and vibrations came back. Then I heard a voice say to me, "Stay calm just ignore the signs, you're almost in the dream."

In a few moments my dream eyes opened and I was lying on a couch in a dark apartment room. I stood up and noticed in the corner to my left, a bizarre looking man was lying on a large crate smiling at me. I suppose in waking life he would have been extremely creepy, even borderline terrifying, but I instinctively knew that he was the one that told me to be calm and helped me get into the dream. He had jet-black skin and was bald and had a cartoonishly large mouth and then he spoke to me again. "Explore this apartment while you can, your REM cycle is almost over." So I walked around taking in the realism of the dream but in a few moments I woke up into what would turn into a FA, but I didn't recognize it.
