Have I been WILDing?

Hi.
Ok, so the other night I had my first dream induced lucid dream. I got pretty excited about it because, at the time, I didn't know what it was. I looked it up and found this website. Anyway, I was looking around and I read something on WILDs. I remembered times when I had been in bed and not really wanted to sleep. When that happened, I would look at the cool colors and images in front of my eyes. After while, I would think of being somewhere. I would incorporate sight, smell, sound, touch, even taste into these 'dreams' After while, I didn't need to think about the smells and feelings as much. I did some amazing stuff! When I 'woke' I was surprised that a few hours had passed. I have done that a number of times, not realizing what I was doing. Now I think I was in a WILD!

Yeah, that's definately how WILD works. Were you doing this right when you went to bed, or after you woke up in the middle of the night?

It was usually either in the early evening (4:00-7:00PM), or in the morning around 7:00-8:00AM.

That's pretty cool, I've heard of plenty of people who figured out how to lucid dream without ever hearing of it before, but you're the first one of them I've ever heard to have developed WILD. That you can WILD in the morning and early evening is impressive as well, since most people can only reliably WILD around 1-4 AM, or during naps during the day.

Wow! I had no idea it was all that strange.
