At 1:50 PM, I attempted a WILD by mid-day nap. For around 30 minutes, I laid there completely still, ignoring every bodily sensation that could have woke me up. Then, I had a super-strong urge to open my eyes. I fought it as long as possible, but my eyes opened by themselves.

Everything seemed to lack definition, it was as if I was seeing in standard-definition TV or something. My vision was moderately blurry. I did the nose reality check. I could still breathe. I thought I was lucid. I rubbed my hands together and everything very suddenly became a lot clearer - real life definition. Then I did another reality check to be sure. I could not breathe with my nose plugged. I proceeded to do several others and none of them told me I was dreaming.

I think I never hit sleep paralysis, and I actually acted out my dream by getting out of bed. Simply put, I woke up while I was rubbing my hands together. So was I lucid? Or was my waking mind playing tricks on me?
