I believe this was a WILD, help me confirm?
Last night I awoke at about 3AM, after having fallen asleep at around 11:30PM. I got up to get a drink, use restroom, etc but at the time I wasn't really thinking about LDing, I just needed to do those things. Got back into bed and had a hard time falling asleep laying on my back so after about 10-20 minutes I finally rolled onto my side and sure enough started to fall asleep. Initially I hit REM atonia, where I woke myself up due to not being able to move pretty quickly, which had been my natural instinct to do as a child but I was kicking myself (not literally) for having done that now since I know I could have used that to LD as I have a few times in the past. So there I lie awake again, but quickly fall back asleep. This time I go from being awake to almost immediately in a field sitting cross legged but remembering how I was just in bed and became aware I was dreaming as soon as I can remember, however if REM atonia had happened again just before this, I have zero memory of it, even from in the dream and was wondering if I just skipped it. I have done WILD and DILD before, and to me this feels like a WILD, but just wanted to confirm.
side note - In the dream I felt as if there was a water balloon in my lap, I could not see anything though, just could feel it. I could even push it with my hands and feel the pressure shift but still it remained invisible. So I concentrated really hard on making it appear, and slowly it became less and less invisible until it was fully there. I had never made an object appear before! But unfortunately the dream was short, I could feel it falling apart and I tried my best to stabilize it but I woke up after only having about 30 seconds of lucidity.
side note - Also anther thing, I think I had a second LD this night, and cant recall it. Somewhere in the my dream state I told myself I had just met my 15 long LD goal I set on dream views, but I can not remember the dream, except that part. I dont know if I truly had a 15 minute LD or I just had a non LD and was saying that. But I do feel like it was aLD that I am not apple to really recall.
