I woke up at 3.30 and wrote some in my dreamjournal without getting up. Then I thought i'd attempt a wild wbtbstyle but I just fell asleep. Then I woke up again at 6.30 and did some more DJ'ing(dream journal) and decided to try again, I lay there for a long time but then i fell asleep without even noticing it and the time got to 8.40.
So I kept on layinst still and I noticed I cant lay still for shit and I was gonna fail today.. I had although read a little bit about SSILD(senses initiated lucid dream) and decided to do some of those reps. So I did the sense reps(visual, hearing, physical) and then I fell asleep.

When I then woke up I felt myself entering sleep paralysis and first i got a little scared but when I got more concious I just relaxed and thought "this might be your last chance, go with it". So I guess I fell asleep again or something cuz the next thing I woke up in a FA but I didnt catch it, so i fell asleep again and this time I kind of got concious of my bed in full sleep paralysis without any HH but the next thing I sort of forced myself into a dream or just got drawn into it,

i felt vibrations and bom I woke up in my own room, I went up and touched stuff, my hand went through a wall a little bit. I looked around properly and it was so daaaaaamn vivid. So I breathed through my nose while holding it and I picked up stuff to smell for stabilization. Then I went downstair but I sort of got drawn back into my real bed and woke up. couple seconds later i got drawn into the dream again and started where i was and this happened 3 times, the last time I spinned around and got real good stabilization(it felt like, i vibrated hard during spin) and then I just went out on the street and flew up, i got up about 30 feet and I was looking down at a big city, the feeling was very liberating and it was very very vivid(in comparison to what i've dreamt before). and then after some flying around over the ocean I got drawn back to my bed and woke up again for the last time.




EDIT: There was only one DC the whole dream and it was a neighbour I dont even have. BTW, I slapped him. dunno why.

I have tried SSILD twice, the first night, it didn't work cuz I couldn't get back sleep but last night, even though my dad completely messed up my WBTB, I got a very short lucid. I will sleep somewhere else tonight so I won't be bothered xD.
CONGRATS btw!

Thanks!
Another thing worth mentioning is that I also couldnt fall asleep but then suddenly i had already fallen asleep and had some FA's and after them came the lucidities.
I think the reps put you in a pretty good trance to fall asleep actually. I've never succeeded to fall asleep for a nap but today when i did some reps from SSILD I fell asleep for a very short time after like 15 minutes.(did not have a LD though. I think my sleep was out of rem or maybe too short)

Good luck

Edit: If you cant fall back asleep during the wbtb avoid getting up att all then, just write som in your dream journal that you have close access to and go back to the technique and fall asleep. Adjust the wbtb to how easily you think you'll fall asleep.

Thats great to hear!!! I will try that technique tonight.
