Suffice it to say that after three days of long road trips and various business, I was very very tired. So, I slept for 14 hours last night…
In addition to many many normal dreams (interesting ones, too), at one point I had woken up, after 9 or so hours, and let myself fall sleep again. As I feel asleep, the thoughts in my head slowly morphed into visions I could control.
It was less vivid than my dreams normally are, and my lucidity only extended to controlling my body and giving myself enhanced strength and agility.
It wasn’t particularly satisfying as the dream was constantly slipping in and out. I finally woke up when my paralysis ended with me trying to jump while laying down in my bed.
What happened seems a lot to me like WILD, going directly from wakefulness to lucid dreaming. What strikes me as odd is;
- People tend to associate WILD with conscious effort. I wasn’t trying to do that at all, I was just putting off getting out of bed.
- The dream never fully formed. This kind of thing happens to me on occasion and the dream is always highly unstable. I’ve punched things off of my nightstand on multiple occasions because I wasn’t completely in SP.
- I can’t replicate the lucidity. I consciously tried to do the same thing twice after this morning’s ‘LD’. Both produced interesting, equally unstable NDs.
So my questions end up being;
- Has anybody else experienced this kind of thing?
- Would this be called WILD, WBTB, or something else?
- How would I stabalise these ‘proto-dreams’?
