15th August Update

I turned at 1am, which isn't ideal. While lying in bed, I think I nearly accomplished a WILD. I started seeing dream images in my mind while lying still on my back. But then I dropped off.

At first my dreams were non-lucid. I was in a passive state for the first dream, where I was sending e-mails and text messages to an old flatmate from my University days. Then I started taking a more active role in my dreams, when I dreamed that I met another ex-flatmate from Uni and we were setting up a catering business. As soon as business came into the picture, it's like my mind just switched on and I started coming up with ideas to discuss with him.

I woke up at around 7am, but then I had what might have been a success, I'm really not sure. I think I dropped off, and I found myself walking along a path that runs alongside a building in my city. It was night and there were no street lights on. It felt more like a daydream, because I was still aware of my body lying on the bed. I knew this wasn't waking reality, but when I tried to turn the streetlights on with the power of my mind, I couldn't do it, which suggests that it was more than a daydream.

Then I found myself further up the path at the local bus station. In the distance I could see 3-4 tornadoes. One of them came across the car park in my direction. I didn't feel any strong winds that would have suggested the close proximity of a tornado, but instead of asking myself "Is this a dream?", I just thought "RUN". I think my survival instinct got there before my desire to check my surroundings.

So what was this? A success, or a near-miss? I think it was at least a near-miss, but I would appreciate any input on this.
