Hi,
I have narcolepsy and fall straight into REM sleep from walking, WILDING as you call it, this can be when sitting down (usually in a boring lecture at university!), This is often a vivid lucid dream in which I have much control and can go about having fun - flying around, interacting with other people etc, and then decide when to wakeup again to see if I have missed anything important!,
I once did this through an entire 2 hour lecture, waking up occassionally, then deciding that the dream was more important and could renter the dream where I left off providing I chose to do so within a minute or two,
Narcoleptics can often get more rest than they need by sleeping too much, thus always have had all the NREM sleep they need!. ITs just like the WBTB technique thats talked about but you can do it any time you feel tired, which is genarally when sitting down.
I do the same when I have a lie in, often being woken up by a friend, I tell them Im in a really lucid dream, to piss off, and then renter the dream!
I have for instance a 30min dream and feel I am losing my lucidity so wake up, write down anything interesting, then rejoin the dream!, have a 20min dream, wake up, write down, carry on into a third dream, and so on until about 5-6 dreams in total by which time they dont last long and I say goodbye and get up for work!

up and feeling exhilarated!!

Thats pretty cool,
I've always wondered if narcoleptics WILDed when they passed out.
