Sleep event

WILD Attempt: I had woken up around 2 if I remember correctly, and decided it was a good time to try a WILD. After about 3 minutes, my body was thrown under a big tingling sensation. My eyelids turned purple, and I saw a man walking towards me. I was scared, so I stopped not wanting to get old hag syndrome, but decided to keep going. It was too late, and he disappeared. I tried again. I was thrown under the same sensation, but it stopped shortly after, and sometime later fell asleep. I was in my room, at my computer chair. I knew I was dreaming but I was not lucid. I said to myself, "If I were to do a reality check now, it would work and I would become lucid." I did not. Sometime later, either a false awakening or I was warped, I was in my school. I was near my locker when I became fully lucid. I was excited, this kind of vividness has not happened in about two months. I immediately wanted to fly. I was in the hallway with a bunch of other students, it must of been passing time. To my biggest fear, I was losing the dream shortly after it began! I panicked. I sat down in the hall instantly and tried observing myself as well as I could. I tried to shout something like "Keep lucidity!" But I choked and nothing came out. I observed the people around me. I am pretty sure the person looking at me was Haven. I managed to maintain. I was still in the dream, and I was no longer losing it. I now wanted to achieve my goal, which was to fly. I went to the end of the hall way, all of the students had gone by now except a few who were watching me. I jumped. I was amazed. I did not fly, but I jumped really high and came down much slower than gravity would allow me to I kept trying it, trying different flying techniques but I just could not get them to work. All I would do was jump in the air fairly high, but that was it. I managed to find a tall building (no longer at my school now, just roaming around) and jumped to the top of it (there were convenient ledges) I more so walked off than jumped. I was falling, slower than normal but still fast enough to fatally injure me. The dream became third person. I smacked the ground and bounced back up about 6 feet. I walked away It was not long after that when I woke up.
