One of the times, I imagined I was sitting in class, and some dude was giving papers to everyone, and I thought: "What the hell is he doing? We're not even in class anymore... wait, I'm laying my bed". After that I 'woke' up. When I was about to fall asleep again, this happened again but this time I imagined I stepped on an iron nail and literally jumped out of my bed. Has this ever happened to you?
Hey TruMotion! That's pretty cool. Some interesting stuff happens on the border between wakefulness and sleep. It sounds like very strong hypnagogic imagery to me.

I have had hypnagogic imagery but nothing quite as strong as what you describe. Someone with a bit more WILDing experience might be able to tell you how to turn this to your advantage. However, I wonder if you could take advantage of DEILD (a sort of mini-WILD.) In a DEILD, you wake up but try to stay as calm as possible while placing yourself back into the dream you just left. If you manage to stay calm and keep your eyes closed, you may be able to re-enter this scene fully lucid. I've done this before to chain lucid dreams together and I wonder whether it might apply to your strong hypnagogic imagery.

Here are a couple of great DEILD tutorials:

If you get this sensation again, I'd advise trying to stay relaxed, move as little as possible, keep your eyes closed and re-enter via DEILD. Cool stuff! Let us know if you have any more experiences with this.
