I have attempted WILDing many times (even before I knew the term for it), but I always become distracted when I start seeing images and forget that I am sleeping.

This morning I was having a strange and vivid dream during which I fell out of a high window. I did not know that I was dreaming at this point and jerked awake just before I hit the ground. After realizing I had been dreaming, I kept my eyes open for about 10 seconds and decided I wanted to go back into the dream, redo the fall, and not wake up before hitting the ground this time. So I closed my eyes, and it took a minute to get relaxed again, but I eventually recreated the scene of the window and began dreaming again. I climbed into the window and jumped out, fully lucid this time. The fall lasted quite a long time and it was quite invigorating. As I saw the ground approaching I got nervous though. I was still fully aware that I was dreaming, but sometimes I feel pain in my dreams so I got worried that it might hurt when I hit the ground. Alas, just before I hit the ground I woke up again.

So although I did not complete my plan of not waking up at the end of the fall, I am very excited to have created a scene when entering dream state, and to have maintained control and awareness!
