Right. MOST times you are on autopilot, but combining with WBTB and MILD, increasing awareness, etc, you sometimes have something trigger that says "hey, wait a minute...this seems weird..." and you gain sufficient control to RC. For me having a strong intent to LD and thinking I WILL have an LD when I fall back asleep does it. But remember, get 5 hrs of sleep before trying this if you want good results.
