That is not exactly a WILD, because a WILD you feel yourself entering into the dream. It seems like you just got lucky with becoming lucid. |

The other night I went to bed like usual, and I wasn't intending on trying to LD. I woke up at about 8 AM after 4-5 hours of sleep. I was in the middle of a non-Lucid dream when I woke up. Immediately after waking up, I went back to sleep. RIGHT AWAY I entered a dream. There was no break in consciousness, and I was lucid right off the bat. Is this WILD? If so, why was there no waiting period at all? How was it possible that I could enter a dream so quickly?? As soon as my eyelids were closed I was in a dream. The reason I'm asking is because I'd sure like to be able to do this EVERY night. It would save a lot of time relaxing in the WILD stages. |

Well I don't know if you know, but normally you start out with a 90 minute sleep cycle, but this decreases as morning comes and especially at 8 in the morning, sleep cycles can be anywhere from 5-20 minutes. And I've blinked my eyes in the morning and its been 10 minutes later... so you can easily close your eyes, lose conciousness very fast and enter your REM state very quickly. This is just an assumption (the above is true), but I think that you are more mentally aware of things in the morning dreams, one reason maybe being because it is easier to remember something 5 minutes later (to become lucid) than 90 minutes. I hope I helped. |

Merry christmas to you to (by this time its the day after christmas). I cant tell you or not if it was a FA, because I dont know how the dream felt to you and everything. When you say you woke up at 8 am... did you look at the clock and it clearly said 8 am? Are you familiar with the reality check method? If you've tried it again, you've probably noticed that dream letters are incredibly jumbled. It is possible that the numbers are "legit" the first time you look at it (sometimes the numbers just change dramatically for me in a dream, sometimes the first time i look the numbers are crazy), but if you remember very clearly looking at the clock and it saying 8:00 AM then I would say it were a real experience (this depends on your own dream stability though). If you remember 8 AM as a feeling or abstract thought... like you had looked at the clock and thought "8 am" rather than looked at numbers, processed them, and come to the conclusion that it was 8 am, then it was probably a FA. This depends on your own dream stability as i've said, though. For some people numbers are more stable. For me in the past I've seen numbers somewhat stable in my dreams on a watch. You probably dont care which it is now, but I just thought I'd say that. |
