Hello fellow dreamers!

Today I decided to try the WILDing process regardless of my previous failures. I ended up choosing to focus on my breathing while laying on my stomach and not trying Yoshi's technqiue because it normally makes me end up sleeping. After all I'm pretty sure it only takes an average of 7-8 minutes to fall asleep. Yoshi says lay still for 10 so that normally doesn't work for me. So while I was focusing on my breathing I also tried juggling in my mind to relax. I can't juggle and have no idea why I even thought this. try to stay with me on this next part it's kind of tricky to understand. Randomly the juggling vision disappeared and subconsciously my brain created a new vision with out me having any control. It was some random guy in a pool. He would push a buoyant water noodle down into the water then let it float back up whilst guiding it with his hands. He would push it down to a certain depth that would match the length of time of my inhale. Then he would let it float back up abruptly to match the exhale. This repeated for a while until I fell asleep. I forgot to mention I was also convincing my self to try to DILD upon awakening. So when I awoke I was sure that I took a 2-3 hour nap. I convinced my self not to move and started feeling the tingling sensation of sleep paralysis! I immediately tried to think of a scene to fall into to. The first thing that crossed my mind as random as it might sound is an ocean. It's easy to picture I guess was my thought. But instead of just imagining the ocean, I also pictured my self swimming in it which made me 2 excited and I woke up. To my amazement I realized that I've only been laying down for 5 minutes!

Does anybody have any explanations/thoughts on any of this? The last time I thought of an ocean was a few months ago and was probably because of school. I live in Minnesota so it's the last thing on my mind. Maybe the vision with the guy pushing down the water noodle some how correlates to my thought of the ocean? Any input or thoughts is welcome.
