Thread: A new lesson learned: WILD or FA-DILD?

So last night I had quite a few what I would consider regular awakenings. During one awakening I had what I thought was a WILD, as someone threw a tennis ball at me in my room which came to me as a DT, but obviously there was no tennis ball to speak of in the morning, so the assumption is that I either a) had a WILD or b) had an FA. As an LD'er I've always focused more on stability techniques as opposed to reality checks or dream triggers, and since I've neglected these practices it has made it impossible for me to determine what the nature of this experience was. I was either fully awake and fell straight back into a WILD, or I was simply in an FA, believing that I was awake. So lesson learned. As well as my regular practices it's now the time where I have to focus a little bit more on RC's and DT's as those are the things that are going to help me determine the difference between WILD's and FA-DILD's.
