I acheived my 2nd WILD last night after my 17-month son woke me up at 3am. When I returned to bed at around 4:30, I figured I'd give my nightly attempt at WILD. This time around, I was able to maintain consciousness during the transition stage and found myself exploring the dream world with full awareness.

At first, I entered almost complete blackness and was getting some imagery here and there. After remembering what my dream mentors on this board have advised in this instance, I tried some spinning. All I could say is WOW -- it absolutely works! The images form around you! I was able to acheive some flying, mischief, and some LD sex. 8)

During the last stages of my dream, I decided to visit my old middle school during the year of 1987. Although I wasn't completely successful in my attempt, I was able to reach my school parking lot and visit with a few friends. The experience ended when I tried looking for my ex-girlfriend. I believe my imagery faded due to my awareness of noises in my bedroom (i.e. my wife's snoring, alarm clock, air purifier, etc).

The entire experience lasted a complete hour. In LD time, I would say it was anywhere between 2-3 hours! To my surprise, I was able to block out the alarm clock ringing as my wife hit the snooze button a few times.

Have any of you traveled back in time successfully?
