On waking from a dream I remained completely still and attempted a DEILD, but failed so I recall the previous dream and write in my DJ. After doing this, I lay down to go back to sleep and almost instantly I feel strong vibrations rippling through my body. When this finishes, I get out of bed, do a RC and voila, I'm Lucid!

I have these unexpected WILD's often after failed DEILD's - its strange because when I consciously 'try' to WILD after a WBTB or nap, it is less effective. It makes me realize- it's all down to simply maintaining awareness and not 'trying' to WILD as this creates expectations etc. I don't know, maybe this only works for me, but getting caught up in 'how to get into SP, do not move, wait for HH' etc just gets in the way of simple falling asleep! Because at the end of the day, WILD is just falling asleep without losing awareness - that's it!

Anyway, I find these unexpected WILD's interesting, maybe it's an unconscious expectation that causes them to happen?!
