ACK! Sorry to read this. My daughter had it a while back. No fun. I hope he's feeling better.
Thanks, he is on antibiotics up the ass...

You know what? I have been trying to analyse this myself for several years and I really don't have a solid answer. When you have no memory of something it's hard to figure it out. I think we either just forget or we slip unconscious so fast that we don't experience any of it. It seems like WILDing or waking into SP is just staying in the halfway state. Keeping the mind conscious while the body goes to sleep is a real balancing act that, in my opinion, isn't always possible. It must take great mental discipline to master.
Difficult to answer AND difficult to master! My goal is to try to come up with some type of analysis with this phenomena...I'm in it for the long run.

I hope to have some solid meditation time tonight. Good luck with the rest of the experiment! Are you going to stop in 4 days or just stop reporting on it?
I will absolutely continue on with this experiment. I probably will not be so in depth with my reporting, but I enjoyed every minute of it and I know there is more waiting for me if I continue on. I have not been one to really understand the world of LDing, but this website has allowed me to really grow in the ability since I joined a year ago. I really have a passion to understand how people do this, how people control what they are doing in an LD, how often it can be done, and what 'special' activities, abilities, and places can be developed. I don't have anyone to talk to in RL in order to gain understanding of LDing but I know there is a world of people who have the same passion as I do (if not more) when it comes to this. Meditation is going to be my direct link to the highway of awareness and consciousness and I hope to continue on for the entire year of 2015. My goal is to seek enlightenment and I'm not even a fraction of the way there...however I'm enjoying the ride.
