non-lucid

So I decided to try a WILD for the first time last night. I planned it all out before I went to bed, setting my alarm and deciding what I would do when I woke up. It was all going well, I woke up at 5:00, went to the bathroom, and went to the fridge to grab the bottle of apple juice I bought the night before. I then went back to bed, and tried a few of the techniques I learned from Dream Views. I found it was very easy for me to relax, and the whole process happened very quickly. I heard some strange noises and saw weird patterns as I entered the dream. I wasn’t as lucid as I expected to be, and I had very little control of the dream. It was like I was Mario from a video game, and I had to do certain tasks. Anyway, It went ok and I woke up from the dream at 5:30 and went back to bed. Then this morning, I open my fridge and see my bottle of apple juice still there, right where I left it the night before. Suddenly I realized that I never got out of my bed at all, that drinking the apple juice was already part of my dream. So I guess I woke up at 5:00, and then fell back asleep and started dreaming it all. But the WILD felt so real, and I had never had one before so I didn’t know what to expect. It was a confusing experience, but I'm definitely looking forward to experimenting more.
