I have been trying to use WILD for about a week now with little success. Usually when I wake up I'm too tired to attempt it or fall asleep straight away. This only really happened though when I got up especially early. I noticed then that at weekends my sleep tends to fragment into about 30 minute periods of REM after which I wake up for about 5 minutes before going back into a dream. This can happen about 5 times.

Although the sleep I get in this period is extremely poor and disrupted I thought it may be good for attempting WILD. Again though I kept falling asleep without being lucid, probably due to the fact I wasn't awake enough before trying it. Something strange happened today though.

I had been trying to WILD all morning with no success but found that, at the end of one of my dreams, I became ever so slightly lucid. Just enough to be aware of the fact I was currently in a dream. This in itself was somewhat reassuring as the particular dream I was having was fast becoming a nightmare. The reason I became lucid was because I felt a sudden falling sensation and the entire dream seemed to fall away. I had read that a lot of people experienced this when using WILD. Then followed a strong shuddering feeling accompanied by a warbling sort of noise. It got pretty loud before I opened my eyes which seemed to be having some sort of fit as they darted around randomly for a good 3 seconds before I found myself awake in my room. I did a quick RC just to check.

So my question really is, did I dream about WILD or is this something that you experience when exiting a dream lucidly?
