WBTB + WILD = 6 points

Induction: I wake up naturally after approx 5 hours sleep needing the toilet, and figure I might as well use the opportunity for a WBTB. I do so in bed, solving a somewhat complex work related problem to keep my mind occupied and my ratio active. After about 40 minutes I decide it's time to get back in sleep mode and calm my mind down, and start attempting visualisation. Áll I get is black static until REM kicks in, small objects start appearing in great detail. I still feel quite awake and wonder if this will even turn into a full blown dream scape, a question which gets answered after about 10 seconds.

LD: All of a sudden the darkness around the objects disapears and I am now fully within a dream. I find myself at my mum's house, a place I frequently get lucid in. I'm stood in the living room and, excited to do this competitions tasks, I decide to skip stabilizing the dream. This turns out to be a huge mistake. I wonder which task to do and decide to do something that has always been difficult for me: walking through a wall. I decide to risk it and try to clear this mental block. I walk in to the wall with my eyes fully open. As I now find myself in darkness inside the wall, I can't get out on the other side. I decide to teleport out and summon a vortex. It appears and I see the living room spinning away from me, but the teleport gets interrupted and feel myself wake up. I do a reality check which confirms I'm actually awake, a shame as my last WBTB threw me into a lot of false awakenings. I try to perform a DEILD but feel simply too awake to get back to sleep, and decide to write down this experience and have an early day instead.

Summary: Although the LD itself seems hugely dissapointing to me, I woke up excited, as this is proof of principle that WBTB + WILD works well for me. So if practiced right this should provide opportunity to have near daily LD's. My challenge now is to actually go to sleep on time so I have enough time for the WBTB without disrupting sleep too much. I also need to put a lot more effort in to stabilizing the dream, to stay lucid and get rid of the "black outs".

For whoever might be reading this, sorry for the "clinical" (read: maybe somewhat boring description of the entire proces, I'm mainly noting it down for me as well to keep track of whats happening, and I hope it might provide some insight to other people how they might get WBTB + WILD to work for themselves.
