Ok so last night I accomplished a WILD for the first time. Here's what happened:

So I go to bed normally with hopes of a MILD. I meditated then repeated in my head "I am dreaming" then I visualize and all that good stuff. I start to get restless however due to school starting and having to get back on a sleep schedule. So I stay still and start to relax. Soon enough I fall asleep. Around 4:15 I wake up naturally and for a few minutes I didn't realize I ever fell asleep. I believe that my mind woke up because I believed I still wasn't able to sleep. However I look at the clock and it says 4:15. I was glad to be lucky enough to wake up right before REM and decided to try a WILD.

It was easy to transition due to already being tired. Entering SP was weird. It felt like my body froze for a minute but I think my mind brought me out of it. I then started to say in my head that I was just trying to sleep normally with my WILD intention in the back of my head. Suddenly I'm at my grandma's house in front of her computer moving the piano bench toward the computer chair to make a bed. Then I think, "Wait a minute...... WTF...?" I look around me. I'm at my grandma's house, I'm making a bed out of a piano bench and chair when in the connecting room there is a perfectly good couch. Then I think, "Wait....! Could it be????" I look outside at the backyard through the glass door and feel myself grin at what I see. My kitchen table from my actual house is outside with a computer monitor resting upon it. It all clicks. I make my way outside but am really dizzy and things look a bit blurry. I do make it to the backyard however. It's crazy. Small colorful plants have filled my grandma's plain backyard. I remembered to anchor and stabilize my dream so I tried but kept losing my balance. I didn't want to use verbal commands because I knew my DC grandma's would hear and confront me. I did try it however to at least stabilize it enough to properly stabilize and anchor. And of course I heard her say "Spencer?" after I yelled clarity. I decided to fly to a place where I felt more safe. I throw my fist into the air like a super hero!

All of a sudden I wake up to the pain of my REAL hands, which I just threw up and banged into my nightstand....

The whole dream was generally pretty unstable. However, I'm very happy about now knowing when my REM state occurs and when to wake up for a WILD.

Any feedback?
