I've read, and tried it, that when you get the darkness after a dream, just don't move or open your eyes and think about hte dream it will come back. Its probably the same thing your talking about.
There's 2 quite close things:

1) you can break REM cycle, wake up and feel yourself on the bed with darkness behind your eyelids. If you lay motionless and relax, you will fall asleep again and most likely experience WILD or FA.

2)During a dream you can find your *body* in the middle of a "void" of total darkness. It is still one uninterrupted dream
