I managed to record one of maybe four or five dreams which I remember waking up from but I guess that is what you expect with DEILD attempts.

I've woken up in really awkward positions, too. Once, I woke up with my arm bent 90 degrees, and my hand was under my stomach, completely asleep and numb. If it does happen again, the best thing is to just ignore your physical body, no matter how painful it might be, and instead imagine your dream body. Think about how if you didn't wake up then and there, you'd be in that position for the rest of the night anyways. Keep trying, you'll get it!
