Tried WBTB after 5 hours of sleep, but could not do it properly because my brother had trouble getting back to sleep after waking up, so I did not want to disturb him. Soon enough I lost conciousness and started dreaming, I cannot recall most of it but I remember talking to some girls from my high school. After that lots of waking up in my REM cycles and lots of new dreams. I attempted a WILD in one of those occasions but I was not focused enough on my mantra and I fell asleep, again, to internal dialogue and thoughts. Dreamt about my dad and me having to check on a dead body of some old person thought to be my neighbour. His wife was playing dead in the body bag with him, I noticed her breathing and exposed her. I cursed aloud about how could she do this and that we could have gotten arrested for murder because they would have seen she died of choking and not heart attack like her husband. After that a dream about some sisters. The younger one had short blonde hair, hated studying and going to school, and the older one had longer hair and was determined to be a business woman. Fast forward about 20 years later the older sister is working as a director in a school and her younger sister is working as an accountant in the same school, constantly complaining about something namely the kids constantly bothering her about something because someone that did that job had been replaced or something. There is a lot more backstory to this but I cannot recall it. I also remember looking at my phone and it had damaged edges like they have been scrapped off. So to sum it up had a lot of NLD's. Most of those were around 6-8 hours of sleep. I think I can afford to plan my further WBTB attempts at 6-7 hours into sleep. I will also place my phone by the bed so I have something to do instead of standing up during WBTB, it is not the best option but it will have to do. Cheers!
