      Identify this Lucid Dream!

      Alright, it's been a while since I posted here. Namely, because I haven't had lucid dreams in all of the attempts I've tried.


      However, today I had some slight success which has made my month.

      The only problem is that I don't know what to classify it as...



      Here's the story:

      So, while I was asleep in a dream I was wandering around a mall. After a little bit of wandering... I eventually came to the conclusion that it was a dream (don't ask me how I did this, it was almost a "AHA! THIS IS A DREAM!" moment.

      A few minutes after discovering it was a dream, it began to fade and I started waking up.

      After the scenery was done fading to black, I felt that I was awake, but decided to sit entirely still and keep my eyes closed to see if I could go into another dream.



      Well, the transition to another dream was immensely smooth. I came out of the darkness into the exact spot I was in the dream. I didn't do anything special, and I don't recall experiencing any hallucinations or anything from sleep paralysis or whatever that would come with a WILD. I just kind of "willed" myself back into the dream.


      Here's basically the progress I encountered and wondered if anyone else has done this:

      Sleep -> Snooze (woke up, then rolled over to go to sleep) -> Dream -> Lucid Dream -> Wake -> Lucid dream.


      Now, this occurred in the morning after a good nights sleep, when I decided to go back to bed.


      When I woke up the second time after becoming lucid, I did nothing but lay there and think of becoming lucid...


      Does the final one classify as a WILD or DILD? I thought it took significantly longer to experience a WILD (as in sitting around waiting to sleep for about 20 or so minutes).






      I have a few other questions as well: If this is classified as a DILD, would DILD's be easier to do after waking up in the morning and taking a snooze, or would it be easier to try this during first sleep.

      I think it's called a DEILD - Dream Exit Induced Lucid Dream. It's when you wake up from a dream, keep your eyes shut, and fall asleep into another or the same dream.

      It is also possible you didn't wake up between them at all and you had a false awakening. Unless you wrote in a dream journal or made some kind of note, there is really no way of knowing if you really woke up, or simply dreamed that you woke up. Especially when you are talking about going from one dream to another like that.

      Though yes, you can enter WILDs very quickly. I once had a WILD by accident in the middle of the night. I woke up and I rolled over, and within 5 seconds I heard a loud screeching sound, like a train passing by, and 5 seconds later I entered a dream. So it literally took 10 seconds.

      The reason I am fairly confident I was awake, before I went back to sleep is because I didn't remeber the dream I was having before that at all.
