Or maybe it wasn't microsleep, because I realized it was going on. As soon as I would close my eyes I would start to have erratic thought patterns that involved people other than myself talking and I "knew" of the events taking place in this kind of psuedodream that was forming, a lot like how you just "know" things in a dream from delirium. Then I would see vivid pictures of the dream forming, but I never fully went unconscious because if someone were to walk past me or something in the outside world demanded my attention I would snap out of it. Sometimes this would happen with my eyes open as well. The thing about this is, I would simultaneously know it's going on but at the same time be unable to actually control it other than snap out of it. My guess is if you tried to WILD you would most likely, as checker666 said, just fall into unconscious sleep. Your mind would probably fall into delirium the moment you started dreaming or sleeping, making it that much harder to actually realize you are dreaming. Even if you succeeded, it would probably be like a few of the times I realized I was dreaming yet somehow did not gain lucidity... I just said "oh I'm dreaming" and then the dream continued on as normal, lol.
The thing you just described happens to me often if I wake up a lot through the night. I have been learning to become lucid from it, but it is weird. I know I am dreaming, but that doesn't seem to matter. If I become lucid from it I am like "wait! Wait! You know this is a dream!" And I stop and stabilize. This is only if I am well rested though.
@learningtold
WILD is easier if your mind is awake and your body tired. If you stay awake for 60 hours, you will be tired, and you will have adrenaline in you. Making your body awake and your mind asleep. This is why you will lose consciousness before your body falls asleep.
If you do something like work out it makes your mind more active and your body more asleep. It will be easier for you than this and actually be effective.
If you insist on doing this, I must ask you to not operate cars after the first 24 hours. At that point your reaction time is almost worse than drunk driving. After 48 hours it is worse.
