Last night, I either woke up in the middle of the night, or I had a dream about waking up in the middle of the night. I wish I could recall what it exactly was but I can't. So I thought that this was a nice opportunity to WILD, since I was still pretty close to sleep, going into hypnogogia would be no problem. I layed down and closed my eyes, and started to relax. I felt my body vibrating and moving on its own. After trying to manipulate the position of my body, I gently tried to move my arms and legs. Then, I slowly opened my eyes, but I was disappointed to see that I was still in my room, so I got up in frustration. Everything seemed too vivid to be a dream, so I was sure that it wasn't a false awakening, still, I thought there was no harm in testing. I visualized a gun materializing in my hand and tried to force it into being with all my willpower, believing that it was possible, but still no gun. Everything was very vivid, dream control and RCing had no effect, and on top of that, I was logical and conscious enough to conclude all this, so it must not have been a dream, and so, I went back to sleep.
The next morning, I got up and was brushing my teeth, thinking about last night, when it suddenly hit me that the room I had woken in the night in and the one I had went to sleep in were different. It had been a dream all along!
But then, why didn't anything that I try work? What gives?
I also remember a very similar dream I had, in it, the exact same thing happened. I went to sleep in one room, woke up in another, however, in this case, I concluded that it was in fact a dream. But even so, I could not control it, I tried to make the lights in the room turn on, but instead just got a strange, dim, blue glow from a place I wasn't even focusing on.
Also, my recall has been horrible. I have been having many LDs lately, but I can't recall them! I just randomly remember certain fragments of my LDs throughout the day..
I'd like to hear if you have had any similar experiences related to false awakenings, dream control or recall.
Tips for dream recall and dream control are also welcome, because I have no idea what I am doing wrong...
