Great luck, big failure. Help?

I tried to do a WILD last night. I woke up at 4:88 (Lol? Thats the time I remember waking up at) right before 5 o'clock. (which is when I set my alarm for). I turned off my alarm because I was like "Oh, sweet I must be right before REM because I woke up naturally" I tried to do some reality checks. 1. I heard a humming noise, it was my computer. All good so far 2. I made sure this blanket was still hanging off my door. Good. 3. Tried to breath through my nose. Didn't work. Good. 4. Tried sticking thumb through hand, didn't work. GOOD. So I laid down so that my knees kinda ached a little bit. I layed there and played the word game to get my mind wandering. "House, building, doors, windows, walls, 'lil jon, eminem, mockingbird" That game. (Keeping track of my pain anchor ofcourse.) I don't remember when I fell asleep, but I remember when I woke up. I woke up and I did NOT move. I tried to DEILD, which failed. But lucky I had another chance to DEILD, but I failed again. I had like 4 regular dreams but I only can remember two, which I wrote down. Where did I go wrong?

Well, you simply lost consciousness. Next time, try staying awake a bit longer before attempting your WILD. As for DEILD, it is hard to be successful with these unless you become conscious as you are waking up. If you can catch yourself before you actually wake up and keep your eyes closed and don't move, then you will have some success. If you wake up and then try to DEILD...your success rate is going to be low. Hope that made sense .
