First time I've ever recalled 2 dreams...

Last night, I went to sleep at roughly 11 PM. Nothing different to me, seemed perfectly normal. I am scared of SP however and have experienced it during attempts to WILD. Every time I go to sleep I intentionally try NOT to do the WILD technique (even though its just like falling asleep) so I dont have to see those horrid hallucinations. Ugh. Last night, however, I let my mind roam free and I was thinking about something...I cant recall it though.

However, I had a dream. I was at some sort of arena like building and there was a glass walled pit. Inside the pit, animals that looked like white blankets with cow like spots were fighting by launching their furry, thin bodies at each other. It was rather uneventful, but people were putting huge money on it and betting on which one won. It was stupid, but VERY vivid.

Then I woke up to go to the bathroom at 4:30. I wake up, check the time on my phone, and feel depressed that I only have about an hour and a half till I wake and that I won't be able to dream again. Everything seemed blurry to me when I was awake then, and I was in a sort of daze. I remembered my dream as clear as day though. When I went to bed, the instant I laid down I was out.

I was wrong about the dreaming thing. I had a great dream where I was on a beach with all of my friends and we partied and did whatever we felt like. One of my friends started eating clams by eating them whole, and I recognized the stupidity of the moment, and i THINK i went lucid. My friend hurt herself eating the clam (lol) and we went to a school to see a school nurse (hospital? why is there a school on a beach? why was I thinking of school? whatever...) who was entirely inept at curing my friends injury. I then started thinking about how stupid the dream was...and I woke up.

This second dream was lifelike vivid, awesome, had real people (something I very very rarely notice in dreams) and for the second half, lucid. The surprising part though, was that when I woke up a mere hour and a half later, I was able to remember BOTH dreams and the extremely long seeming second dream was fit into a small time period.

Was this some sort of DEILD? I have never been in the state I have been before when I was awake for those 2 minutes. I wasn't fully aware, I wasn't paranoid as I usually am at night (I feel like I have to be quiet or else someone will break into the house-never happened before...dont ask) and I slept the very INSTANT I hit the pillow. I haver never experienced anything like this and I am surely willing to go through some SP crap to get to great stuff like this. Letting my mind wander before sleeping usually has given me better results.

Sorry for the giant essay like wall of text, I tried to break it up. Thanks for any answers too, its greatly appreciated!!:)
