A dream-wake induced lucid dream?

[stuetzl]

I had a very strange dream this morning. I know I woke up at about 9am because my parents left to go somewhere (this is not yet the dream btw ) So I thougt, when I'm completely on my own I could try to WILD. It didn't work but I woke up about an hour later. This time I was so drowsy, so I fell asleep again, almost instantly... [dream]I am in this room in a bed. But I'm not lying in it but sitting. There is a cute girl in the room as well [I can't describe her, I know she's just cute] and two strange guys who're naked but wrapped in some sort of plastic foil (you know, that foil which they wrap sometime suitcases with at airports) instead of clothes. I decide to watch a porn movie and the TV in a corner turns on showing one. The two guys have suddenly disappeared and the girl comes at my side in the bed. [Unfortunately] we're not doing anything but I try to tell me that my next dream will be an LD (or actually a WILD). In a short time it seems to work. I hear a voice in my left ear and the echo becomes louder and louder; I feel my limbs becoming numb and I can't hardly move like someone has tied me down [no, it was not the girl ^^]. Suddenly, I'm able to move my right arm and so I perform the noseplug RC. It works. I realise that I'm lucid and ask me what to do. Around there seems to be nothing, or at least nothing special. So, I decide to summon a dream scenery I dreamed of a few days before. The scenery seems now to move rapidly and it is like I'm in a helicopter, flying about in a city with lots of skyscraper. I realise that my brain is looking for the right house where the dream I want to summon took place. And after a minute or it suddenly stops and my view zooms in on a window where I am inside an instant later. Then, I'm in a huge appartement and I run madly about. I arrive on the stairs, outside the appartement and then I ask me if I'm still dreaming because it feels so real. Noseplug; and it still works. I remember to rub my hands and the scenery becomes a bit clearer. I still don't know what to do, for my brain has taken me to a wrong place. I suddenly feel an urge to take a dump. So, I ask me why not on the stairs in a bucket (which is there now). But as soon as I want to start I hear steps and stop it. I'm not so sure anymore if it's a dream or not. So, I enter the appartement where I've come from and I'm standing in the entrance which is at the same time a bedrom with two beds. Vis-à-vis, there's another door and a guy coming inside. I ask him if he's going to sleep now because it's already 5 am and he nods, telling me that he has been at the party for too long but that's normal and now he will sleep until 5 pm. He lies on the bed and suddenly falls asleep. Now, I'm asking me, why I only try to do the noseplug RC, are there others possible? I stand in front of the window, next to the bed of the guy being asleep, and I try to push my left index finger through my right hand by thinking 'go through' but it doesn't work. So, I try to push my right hand through the window, again by thinking 'go through' but that doesn't work as well. I noseplug, just to make sure, and it works. I'm really confused now and I sit down on the second bed in the room and do nothing for a moment. Then I open my real eyes. I think 'sh*t' and do a noseplug RC at once although I see bright light in my room, hear my PC and the cars outside. Obviously, the RC doesn't work, so it's not a FA But after a few moments I become very confused. And that's the question I actually want to ask you. Was this LD a DILD or was it a WILD? In a way I was performing a WILD while I was dreaming. Or could it be, that I woke up IRL for a few seconds and fell asleep again physically, not mentally hence I WILDed? In addition, during the transition phase of the WILD, I kinda tried to move and tried to open my eyes which I usually don't when I'm trying to WILD... What do you think have you had a comparable/similar experience?

This is often what happens to me, and I can have multiply LDs. By waking for a split second, and having that little grasp of reality before falling back to sleep and being and to LD right away. Its awesome, sometimes you can have several in a row but short intervals of waking then going straight back to sleep! I dont think this is a WILD as such, neither a DILD, I dont know, but sounds good none the less

I dont think this is a WILD as such, neither a DILD, I dont know, but sounds good none the less That's my opinion. So, it would be something like DWILD (?) --> Dream-Wake induced Lucid Dream, as I called the thread?

Quite possibly, I have posted about this before and others have commented on how they also get lucid like this.

Interesting experience. I recently posted a thread about using FAs (and waking up in general) as RCs, that you might find interesting. I've been doing a lot of waking up and going back to LDing immediately... but more often than not the waking up is merely an FA. Best to just treat them all the same, and condition yourself for even more frequent LDs.

I set up a MILD from within a dream once. FA's are easy ways into lucidity.

I suppose my experience wasn't an FA at all but I think I'll try to DEILD (Dream Exit... etc.) tomorrow, for I'm on holidays and wake up between 7 and 8 and usually fall asleep again... I set up a MILD from within a dream once. FA's are easy ways into lucidity. I think so, but as I said, I don't think it was an FA
