Last Friday, I woke up at 5 (not deliberately) and wrote my dream down into my dream journal. I then tried to fall asleep again, so I daydreamed about random things until it seemed very vivid, and then I realized that the scenery was now a dream (so I was lucid).
I have read in WILD tutorials that hypnogogic imagery is not supposed to be consciously created, and that one should passively observe the imagery that is produced from the unconscious or something. Yet in my lucid dream, I did exactly was I was told not to do and I went into the dream.
So why and how did this work?
This was my first lucid dream btw.
