Screaming or howling

Lucid Dream Thoughts Hypnagogic This night I tried to WILD before normal sleep. I have heard that it is impossible, but I was thinking and thought, if we can be aware of a dream, to be lucid in that sense. And still be able to rest, would not it be possible to stay have the mind awake the whole night and let the body rest. This is called Yoga Nidra "Conscious sleep". I have allways told myself that a dream is just a thought, but a vivid thought and I have even seen my thoughts become a dream in a WBTB DEILD. So if I can just stay aware until my thoughts, become vivid then it should be possible. I considered the problem of staying awake long enough for that to happend, but I came up with an idea to keep my mind busy and to totally forget about my physical body. I like visualization, and day dreaming in that sense. I thought that if a dream is a vivid thought, then a thought must still be the closest to a dream that I can come while being awake. So my method to keep my mind busy is to daydream, but not the nornal way. Usually when we day dream we think about something and associate it with something else and suddenly we think about anything and then we fall asleep. I started out by going through memories of my day in my mind, as detailed as possible. When this was done I assumed that I was perfectly relaxed, my body felt numb and uncomfortable feelings started to appear. Now I pretended that I was going to separate from my physical body into my non-physical body, pretend that I WILD so to speak. So I visualised that I went out of my bed and I chosed two objects in each room in my house to explore. And when I come to the kitchen I started to lose consiousnes from time to time, but I returned to the visualisation. Eventually I lost it completely and I had a dream. I were in my school and this dream was boring, because it was just about a normal schoolday. Then I was walking home from that schooldream and suddenly I realised that it was a dream. I did not stabilise I was not aware enough in my mind to do that for some reason, instead I looked around and were surprised that I remembered this much from the real world, because it was a real location. I took pace and ran and jumped and started to fly, I have had many fly dreams now so I had enough confidence to control this flying. And this time I decided to fly to the universe! When I were up there and saw the starts and the empty black space I started to accelarate and it almost felt like falling. And I fell and fell and suddenly I was back in my bed. I heard my mom screaming "Your dad is shopping clothes!". "In the middle of the night?!" I said surprised. "Yeah go back to sleep" she said. And when I did I woke up for real... On my real awakening I did a reality check and I was now awake. I looked at the clock and it was now 4.40, so I went back to sleep. I was now standing in my tv room and a person I do not really like was laying on the couch and eating popcorn, this was a weird dream and I do not really remember it. Then I was walking into a Chinese store, I looked at a t-shirt and it was a cool background and a text saying "Zhore". I then saw a bowl of red balls, I asked what it was and the person behind the disk said "Dragoneggs" and then I woke up. I will make a new attempt to WILD today, but if I fail which I probably will I have an alarm to WBTB.
