This was the first night I attempted to WILD. If birds normally chirp at around 2:30 AM, I experienced no notable hypnagogia except for some pressure that came very suddenly. This did not startle me much, though, since I have experienced it before in meditation. Anyways, the dream. I wanted to create my own setting of a cool forest clearing on a cloudy morning, but I guess I did not imagine it vividly enough because the dream setting I was in was a suburban neighborhood. It was still cool and cloudy, though, like I would wanted it to be. I physically and lucid-ly ran around and played with the neighborhood's children; nothing notable happened. I got bored after a while and let myself slip into sort of a 3rd person point of view to where I was aware of myself but watching dream-me go about her actions. Eventually I shifted back into 1st person after playing cards with my dad, and woke myself up to write the dream down in my IRL dream journal. I am confident that my WILDs will become clearer if I imagine a familiar place and continue to practice. I have a choir audition tomorrow, so I plan to try and practice / roleplay that tonight.
