Thread: Lohtur's workbook

I've been really busy lately and I haven't been practicing. But now I finally have time. And today something happened.
Lately I've been having some problems falling asleep at night, which makes me really sleepy during the day. Today, I was watching a movie when I started to get really sleepy. I decided I wouldn't fight it and closed my eyes. At this point I thought about LD and decided I would give it a try. So, I tried my best to stay awake while my body kept getting relaxed. I don't know how much time passed because I lost focus, but I reached a point when I felt my body moving, just a little bit. Then I heard people talking. It was the movie playing (I paused it before, so I must have touched the keyboard). I reached for the computer and paused the movie again, all of this with my eyes closed and in a very sleepy state. Then, right after I paused the movie, my body started getting heavy. I started spinning in a circle, slowly. I started saying "I will know that I'm dreaming". While I was spinning, I started seeing branches of trees. Then, I was falling from the sky, really slowly, and the landscape kept getting clearer, but it was still blurred. I heard a voice saying something but I didn't understand what it said. I was close to the ground. When I got there I couldn't feel the floor. Everything was green, with lots of trees, and I was moving around until everything turned black. I started spinning again. When I opened my eyes, I was lying on the floor. I noticed I was wearing the same shorts I'm wearing right now. I got up and there were a lot of ants on the floor. I was in a very small room, and it looked like an old house. I looked at the door and I recognized several of my jackets hanging there, which I found strange. I opened the door and saw a white wall in a very bad state. I exited the small room and looked to my right. There was an old woman, dressed with a long white jacket, standing in front of the window. She turned to me. The corridor wasn't very well illuminated so I couldn't see her face. She started moving towards me and I got scared. I started screaming and she started getting close to me, her hands pointing in my direction. She held my hands as if she was trying to calm me down. I was really close to seeing her face, but then I just couldn't move my head to the right. I just got a glimpse of her face trough the corner of my eye before everything turned black again. I started thinking of a person I wanted to see in the next place, but when I opened my eyes I was in front of the computer again, which was disappointing.

So, now I have some questions:
- It felt so real as if it was right now, except it was blurred at the beginning. Do you think this was an LD?
- This has happened before, during an afternoon nap, but not like this. This time it was much longer and much more realistic. Do you think afternoon naps are the best time for me to try to LD?
- The two times this happened I was trying WILD. I have tried DILD/MILD before and nothing ever happened. I guess WILD is the right technique for me. What do you think? Should I stick with WILD?

Thanks in advance.
