Yeah...so..My first attempt at a WILD failed, but my second succeded...uh, save for one itty, bitty, little, tiny, small problem....

...

I was asleep, and conscious, but I wasn't dreaming. How could this be? I KNEW I was asleep (I was past the paralysis...I couldn't feel my body at all). As I was laying there, I was thinking to myself, "What if I'm already dreaming, and this is just a false awakening?" and I thought about getting up and doing some reality checks...But at the same time I thought, "What if I'm not dreaming, and I'm still in my bed, and if I attempt to get up I'll ruin this entire attempt?" Before all of this, from time to time I looked around the room (yeah, I opened my eyes, I didn't think it would hurt though people tell me otherwise) and took note of my surroundings. Everything looked the same, yet at the same time I had a false sense of reality ( I mean, I thoguht I was dreaming, but I couldnt tell really). ...anyway...
Yeah, I ended up trying to get up after sitting there for a good coupple of hours and...well, as you can imagine, I was really disappointed to find that I was only sleeping and was not at all in a dream state...Could anyone tell me what went wrong? Any advice, perhaps? Anything else you can throw in to make my chances significantly greater?

Thanks, I appreciate the help.
Hopefully I'll get the WILD thing down soon...

p.s....anyone get the subject? Whoa I Lucid Dream
