Well I half-managed it this morning! I woke up at 7 AM and decided to go back to bed (it is a Sunday, after all ) and try to WILD. I've attempted WILD for the last few days and have found myself falling asleep almost immediately, so I went to the bathroom to write down dream fragments in a bit of natural light rather than the light on my phone; this had the effect of waking me up a little instead. I lied on my back and felt my body go numb, but managed to lose concentration and slipped into a dream. Similar to previously, I had been repeating a mantra whilst doing so, so I half-knew I was dreaming. I was at a hotel and sat in a room which looks similar to my room at home, and thought that I've heard that meditation during dreams is epic, so I would give it a go. I sat on the floor and begin to meditate, and almost immediately I could feel a sense of everything being "pulled" towards my head and I knew that I was switching to my dream body, so I tried to get up, but doing so woke me up. I went back into the dream (sort-of DEILD, but without too much lucidity!) quite quickly and tried again, and this time succeeded.

I got up and felt my dream body, which feels a little groggy. This always seems to happen for me - when I realise I'm lucid I get a feeling of everything pulling together and my vision sharply coming into focus, almost like the rack focus you get in films/TV shows. It feels as though my focus is far away and it is "racked" back to where it should be. The odd thing this time is that I go to look at my hands to stabilise the dream before I proceed, and I find that my hands are nearly translucent; I can just see a very faint outline of them. Unfortunately my dream ended after about a minute as my wife woke me up with a sudden movement; need to try and work on ignoring exterior distractions. I want to tell myself to ignore the physical world, but I'm worried if I think of that then reverse-psychology will imply that I then think of my body in bed and wake up!
