I think I nearly did it...?

I think I nearly went lucid twice. xD I'm not sure if they're WILD's or what, so please correct me if I'm in the wrong forum. >.> I was still aware of my surroundings and my mind as I fell asleep while taking a nap, which turned out to be simpler than I thought. The lawnmower outside was running while drifting to sleep, so maybe my mind was focusing on that? The first time I tried to stay aware of my body and mind, the "falling" was a little nastier. I was being jerked down and it was was making one side get a "swooping" sensation and the other side hurt, if that makes sense. I guess kind of like being gripped around the waist and pulled? xD I woke up a bit, shifted, and tried again and I just kept falling/being sucked down endlessly. I started wondering whether I was supposed to do anything to enter a dream state, so I tried opening my eyes and rolling over a little. I found I nearly got somewhere, I think I dropped into a partial dream where I was under a bed or some other big object with a box in front of me, but it was fairly blurry and the lawnmower was stopping me from going any further, because I was still too aware of its sound. >.> I was trying to make it clearer and become more aware of the dream, but that darn lawnmower wouldn't shut off. I don't like having neighbours who care about their lawn sometimes. =X Then I woke up again, though I wasn't disappointed as usual, just intrigued. xD Naturally, this was the first place I went. =X

Try doing it when they aren't mowing the lawn.

Yeah, I'm going to. I'm just looking for confirmation that I was doing it right... that I shouldn't have just kept waiting to see if I'd fall into one, or something? xD

I have never actually gotten to a WILd, or SP for that matter, but I have read about it. It seems like our just waiting would have eventually worked, seeing as you got into a semi-dream state. I have heard that visualizing the area you want to go to can help form the dream scene. The lawn mower was probably hindering you.
