Thread: first night...no LD, but...

It sounds like you are describing the transition to sleep, and hypnagogic imagery. When I pay attention as I fall asleep, I find my thoughts start to develop into brief 'dreamlets'. They get more and more vivid, until I get so caught up, I lose my sense of self and fall unconscious. Pay attention to how this works, and you should have a better understanding of how all the WILD techniques out there are designed to trick yourself into doing this consciously.

Allright thanks, I'm going to go study/read about wbtb and figure it out,

And yeah, that awake but not awake feeling, could that have
been the beggining of an LD, but not fully formed

I get that a lot in class

cause im a very light sleeper but when i'm really tired i sortof half fall asleep like you said. I've heard that it is still posible to dream in states of sleep before REM sleep, but it is far less vivid, which is what i've always assumed this was.

It's amusing though when you wake up and for a moment you don't realise that you've been dreaming. That's what happens to me in class all the time.
