Thread: Possible WILD?

Last night was the first night I tried something like lucid dreaming, before last night I had no idea such a magnificant thing could happen. I read up on the site as much as I could and went to sleep. I kept repeating to myself "I will remember my dreams when I wake up" untill I felt very relaxed and started slipping away. It seemed like seconds before I last remember being awake and then I remember talking to some guy in a restaurant and I think I realized I was dreaming because I woke up suddenly and then told myself "I was dreaming already!".

My first question is: Can a dream be started directly after you fall asleep? Or was I actually asleep for hours and the time went by.

And secondly: If the dream I had (though it seemed to have lasted merely seconds) started immediatly after I fell asleep does that mean it was a WILD?

Also before I fell asleep I had stayed up all night, I fell asleep at about 11:00 AM so I was tired enough to fall asleep quickly.

Yes, it can be started directly after you fall asleep....thats how people WILD without WBTB method.

No. You have to stay conscious during transition process from waking life to dreamland, then it is considered as a complete WILD.
