WILDerness
Lurker

Tried WBTB after 5 hours of sleep, but couldn't do it properly because my brother had trouble getting back to sleep after waking up, so I didn't want to disturb him. Soon enough I lost conciousness and started dreaming, I can't recall most of it but I remember talking to some girls from my high school.

After that lots of waking up in my REM cycles and lots of new dreams. I attempted a WILD in one of those occasions but I wasn't focused enough on my mantra and I fell asleep, again, to internal dialogue and thoughts. Dreamt about my dad and me having to check on a dead body of some old person thought to be my neighbour. His wife was playing dead in the body bag with him, I noticed her breathing and exposed her. I cursed aloud about how could she do this and that we could have gotten arrested for murder because they would have seen she died of choking and not heart attack like her husband.

After that a dream about some sisters. The younger one had short blonde hair, hated studying and going to school, and the older one had longer hair and was determined to be a business woman. Fast forward about 20 years later the older sister is working as a director in a school and her younger sister is working as an accountant in the same school, constantly complaining about something namely the kids constantly bothering her about something because someone that did that job had been replaced or something. There is a lot more backstory to this but I can't recall it. I also remember looking at my phone and it had damaged edges like they've been scrapped off.

So to sum it up had a lot of NLD's. Most of those were around 6-8 hours of sleep. I think I can afford to plan my further WBTB attempts at 6-7 hours into sleep. I will also place my phone by the bed so I have something to do instead of standing up during WBTB, it's not the best option but it will have to do. Cheers!

Ok so to start this off I'm going to post a LD induced by WILD, from a kind-of WBTB experience.

9th May 2013.

Went to bed after about 5.5 hours of sleep. Laid down on my side because I figured it would be the best position for WILDing. Closed my eyes, started repeating the mantra "relax". After some small feelings of numbness I started to get deconcentrated from repeating my mantra and slowly losing awareness and falling to some external dialogue. I cut it short by opening my eyes, since I'd figured I'd just fall asleep if I continued. Saw that the whole attempt took 15 minutes. After that I rolled over pretty frustrated that I can't mantain awareness. Kept on trying, until one moment a feeling of frustration crept over me. At the same time a surge of "energy" went through my body and I was suddenly pushed "into" my bed. I saw two people for a moment that seemed to push me into my bed. After that several more surges of energy went through, and I soon found myself in a kind of empty space. I was aware during the entire process and I knew I was entering a dream.

I tried to open my dream eyes but I felt my real eyes starting to open at the same time so I opted to keep them closed. Soon enough I managed to open my dream eyes and I saw a FA style dream "waking up" in my bedroom. I was lucid though, so I looked around and saw that the room was changed up a bit, didn't have any furniture present. I looked to the window and saw it was almost dark. I looked into my hands and they looked normal, although what I
saw was blurry. I remembered to use the spinning technique to stabilize the dream. The funny thing is while all this was happening I could hear my brother who was in the room while I was sleeping while being in the dream. I looked through the window and now it was nighttime. The scene changed and I don't remember what it looked like. I started talking to a dream character, a prostitute. I used her .. uhm.. services and convinced her to do it with no charge. After that the dream had faded black. I woke up in what is most likely a false awakening, being proud of myself for having a WILD. Met some friends, talked to them, and I don't remember anything else. Then I woke up for real, did a reality check, and checked the clock for time, because I always want to know when I woke up, which wasn't the case with that FA.

Expect an update in about 9 hours I'll attempt a WBTB WILD, it might be successful. Cheers!
