Did I just WILD?

Okay, this happened two times before:

So, I woke up, I ate breakfast, I put in My Name Is Earl, & I went to sleep. Soon, I started to see a bird flying across my eyes. I realized that it wasn't right & something was going on. Then, I experienced sleep paralysis. All I could move was my feet. Then, I started to fall, and I landed on my floor. By then, I could move my arms, but I couldn't open my eyes. Finally, I opened my eyes and I was in my room. Soon, the dream faded.

I just want to know, was this WILD? Because it happened two times.

Sounds like you accidentally slipped into some sort of preliminary to lucid dreaming. Before you actually enter a dream, you kinda see the dream forming, with different images and such. Sounds like it kinda freaked you out and you broke away. If you would have stayed calm and let it take you (for instance, where was the bird flying? Can you touch the bird? where are you? These are the questions you need to answer to get into a real dreamstate) you prolly would have had a good wild. Dont freak out :p. How did you fall on the floor? lol. Good job btw, try to replicate what you were doing/feeling and this time stay relaxed and open, dont over anylize the images, but yet dont let them escape, kinda just engage them.

It looked like the bird was flying from a tree and back. It's kind of hard to explain. & I don't know how I fell on the floor. It's like I fell off my bed. And now that I think about it, I was kind of freaking out over the sleep paralysis. Next time (hopefully tommorrow), I will keep calm over the sleep paralysis. Thx!

Dude, thanks for the advice. This morning, I did the same thing, and it worked! SP showed up, and I was very calm! Soon enough, I found myself in a dream. False Awakening at first, but I did a RC, and I was lucid! Read Third LD Since Joining thread for the overlydetailed version of the dream. Thanks, for the advice!

Congratulations. Hopefully this method will work consistently for you.
