Thread: Did i WILD, or just think i did?

So now that I'm off for feb. break, I took a plane to my dad's house in Florida. On the plane, I tried to WILD about 3 times, and fell asleep for a few minutes after each. I was getting some blue hypnagogic "swirls" each attempt.

For my fourth attempt, I actually stayed awake, and with the swirls as a backdrop, I was able to slide down little windows of "dreams", much like the ipod touch album viewer. I actually had two of these dreams that looked VERY real, though with no physical sensations.

Throughout the dreams I could still choose to be aware of my physical body, ie. stewardesses talking to passengers.

Did I actually go into a WILD, or do I just THINK I did?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think you did start to WILD, but did you end up in a dream? Like one where you realized you were in a dream?

i did end up in a dream, then when it finished, backed out and moved to another one.
the first was blurry, and kept being covered up by some blue swirls, i think they're hypnagogic hallucinations? or am i wrong there? But i understood that i was dreaming, and was telling myself, "clarity now" and doing the dream spinning, which worked. i could also freeze the scene.

but now i cant even manage to get the blue swirls :[
heh maybe im just trying too hard

edit: oh yeah, it might help to say that i havent been even close to successful at any time other than a nap.
also being on a plane, i was sitting in a chair. perhaps ill try that tonight.

Seems like strong hypnagogic hallucinations to me. If you entered a WILD, you would be fully immersed in the dream and unaware of your real body and its surroundings.

Well, for one, could you move? And were you lucid in the dreams you had? If not, you did get into a WILD, you just didn't complete it so that you were at a lucid stage
