Question about what happened in a lucid dream
Okay, so before I went to sleep I took 250mg of tryptophan. As I was going to sleep I was attempting a WILD, I have never been closer. After a while I started to feel times where my head felt extremely light and I was passing out, and sometimes my body felt super heavy. I was doing a VILD throughout this and also doing a technique mentioned by another user named para(something, I forgot). Where I would imagine physical movements in the bed, like sliding across the bedsheets. Than I started day dreaming and here is where it got weird, I got deep into the day dreaming and started dreaming kinda(I had no control had all, and it was not vivid at all like one of those weird random dreams). I awoke why still having my eyes closed and not moving. Than there was one point where I was like falling into my dream I start focusing on my eyelids(which kinda hurt) my eyes started twitching(like REM) and my tongue was twitching (happens when I get scared when WILDing).
Now to the question, I woke up later that night at 4am(WBTB) almost everytime I WBTB I just fall back to sleep(tired). I was just telling my self I was gonna rest a little to get more tired and than wake up. I tried my best to stay awake, but than I passed out. I seemed to enter the dream instantaneously. As soon as I entered I knew I was dreaming, obviously because I was just awake a second ago. I experienced this in my first LD. I go back to sleep in the WBTB and while asleep(unconscious) I can see the dream fading in and INSTANTLY know that I am dreaming(No RC's, no nothing).
I am curious as to what is going on and how I can replicate it, please help if you can. Also I am planning to do a VILD/WILD again before sleep and in WBTB. Should I do something else? Should I wake up for 20 minutes, or just hit the alarm and start attempting the WILD immediately?
