Thread: Dream Character pulled me into non lucid dream

Last night i entered my dream through WILD and i decided just to interact with my surroundings before starting my planned dream. I started talking to the first dream character and found myself losing awareness completely. I dont know if this was a result of not performing reality checks once I started my dream or just over confidence. Has this ever happened to any one? I woke up pretty bummed out because it happen within the first 5 minutes of my dream.

How do i prevent this in the future? I was thinking reality checks just to increase my awareness, are there any other methods?
