I just want to report a small success that I had this morning.

I set my alarm at 4am and stayed up for half an hour so I could attempt to WILD for the first time. When I went back to bed, I found myself getting into sleep paralysis, however I kept coming out of it. After about 40 minutes I gave up, turned over and went to sleep.

I found myself in a dream where I was fighting someone, and I was holding their head by my chair in my bedroom and was about to knee them in the face, but for some reason I thought, "Hold on, I can do this for real!" and immediately went lucid.

As this happened, I felt the dream just moving away from me, which in itself was a huge rush, and for some reason instead of rubbing my hands together or spinning, I got mixed up and shouted "Clarity!" like a fool, but nothing happened. The next thing I could think of was to fly (again, like a fool) and I shot up into the air, but as I reached my bedroom ceiling I awoke.

I think I should have done a reality check then, because when I awoke for the day this morning, I realise that this may have been a FA but I didn't check. Either way, I am very pleased that I got over that first hurdle and experienced some form of lucidity
