I must have begun to think about the dream I'd been having before I woke up, because I ended up back in the same place as before, but with a few different aspects. I couldn't remember it as clearly, but the parts that I can remember involve me considering things from WL, in a very rational kind of way (rational for dreams, anyway.) That's new for me.
That sounds promising, quite close to a sort of DEILD or MILD if you went back to the same scene. And the fact that you were more rational than your usual self. I think you maybe need a goal, something to passionately think about, that you want to do in your next ld. Sometimes dreams provide you with a goal like this, at other times you can pick one in advance and look forward to completing it.
