So as an update of last few days - the night before last I set 3 alarms through the night, though had the specific intention to notice micro awakenings.
Recall was quite ok but not outstanding and only noticed one micro awakening. Again the quality of sleep felt very heavy, hard to bring awareness to or to rouse with good awareness after alarms.

Though I'm really pleased with last night's results: through the day I'd been less on point with setting affirming intentions for the night but did do short bits of practice and simulating failed reality checks along with what I'd do if I became lucid. Then after dinner I sat for an hours meditation and got back into the mindset of cultivating lucidity and setting the intention to act out dream plan.
I scheduled WBTB after 6 hrs and saved drawing out my dream plan and setting more intention till then. Also had a nice, settled quality of attention for about 20mins meditation on WBTB.

So the drift to sleep was very still & pleasant, about 20/30mins so nice time to allow for 21breaths, resting and resetting intention.
Noticed a little, but not major, hypnagogia and presume I dropped off for a bit but quickly found attention on dream voices of my aunt and uncle, realising a dream wasn't far off forming. Felt sensations along my back so I intended that to be my aunt rubbing my back and slowly brought more solidity and form. This faded but I chained into another sense of dreams not being far -opening my dream eyes into an almost fully formed dream.
Was nice and bright, in a health food shop, so I began to engage senses - handful of beans, tried eating soap (not much taste but turkish delight texture!). Though didn't want to overly buy into the need to solidify.
This faded but managed to chain again, the same dream reforming. Think I had the urge to jog, as this has been a good stabiliser before, so went outside into dark street, not feeling the dream was solid enough to begin DP... then I think I lost visuals again and probably slipped into non-lucidity after... as this would've been around 5am but then woke at 7 without any other recall.

So overall really satisfied at good awareness and the ease that WILD came with - I read your post fogelbise 'something every newbie should read' and also read a post on WILDs not being as hard as they're made out to be. So was great to uproot challenging schemas!
And pleased at the quality of awareness I had while also reforming back to lucids.
Slight disappointment I didn't get to begin DP as I felt very connected after efforts ramping up in the evening...but 2 lucid this week after long month or more of dry spells is enough to be happy with.

No time to take the foot off the gas now though! Thanks both of you for the feedback and assistance in keeping the workbook as momentum
