This morning, I finally had my first WILD, and I was rather chuffed (:
Ive been having very little luck with DILDs etc, and thought that this method would give me a better degree of control and vividness - which it did. However, it was very shortlived, only 30-40 seconds in all, and I accomplished very little. The dream started to lose clarity about halfway through, and it was a downward spiral from there. I entered it in a strange way though, instead of waiting through all of the stages of HI, I gave up and decided I'd just go to sleep. But suddenely realised that I was in SP, very far into HH- with a long dark corridor pictured in my head. This turned into an FA, which I caught very quickly. Was this perhaps why the dream was unstable?

Anyhow the main reason for posting this, is because of what i couldn't do:

I realised that the dream needed stabilising, and i remember (I think it was Moose?) someone telling me that he ate a chip in his dream - which helped a lot, as it used all five senses. So I thought, Ill go to my school's dining hall! I have heard that people use ordinary doors to take them places, so i tried to use the door in my bedroom, but it just lead to where it normally does (The landing - although there was a mirror out there, and it proved interesting.) Why didnt it work? Any help would be appreciated (:
