Last night I was really tired.. actually tired all day. Took a few short naps during the day, then hit the hay at 9:30pm.

I layed down, intentionally trying to WILD. I caught myself a few times drifting, but refocused on my breathing. Seems every time I know I'm close, I get an itch somewhere. This time, I igorned it.

Normal stuff for me knowing I'm close. Images, sounds, real world sounds are no longer there, light flashes, etc... then boom, I'm in my dream. I think "ok.. here we go! Cool!"

This time I'm riding my ATV down our development road near my house. I know I'm at the end, though, because the roads ends in a culdesac. I stop because my main goal was to complete the TOTM (leprechaun).

Now, what was weird was when I stopped on the ATV, it felt like a bike, where you had to put your feet down. I thought, that's odd. Finally I said "oh screw it, I'm getting of and going leprechaun hunting" and I felt the ATV tip underneath me, like a bike would, while getting off. I remember thinking "I wonder if I'm moving IWL..."

So there I stand, in the end culdesac in our housing development. I try to will a leprechaun in... nope. Also, every few seconds I start rubbing my hands for clarity. (This really works well for me). I look around, trying to find one. I realize while I don't have total control, it's very vivid. I try to spin to change locations. Doesn't work. Hmmm.. I try to spin again.. nothing. And I find "closing my dream eyes" to spin a very weird feeling. (do we blink in our dreams? lol)

I start walking and try to shout out "I'm looking for a leprechaun dream character!" but I get that paralyzed feeling in my voice and it only comes out as a whisper. Then, to my left, a flatscreen monitor pops up out of the snowbank and turns on. I think "cool!" An image of a leprechaun appears and I suddenly awake (forgot to keep rubbing my hands).

Now, I really don't think this counts as completing the task, but I thought I'd share it... WILDing is pretty cool. I woke at 10:30pm frm this (only an hour after going to bed) and felt SOOOOO refreshed.
