Dream Journal

DILD after WBTB

I was inside of a fancy building, it looks like a university or a shopping mall. There is a big room with see through walls, and I see a huge classroom, but instead of seats, there were cardio machines with people on them. I notice some empty machines and thought about joining in. This room was very big and had multiple levels. In the very front was a female instructor. I am on the outside looking in through the glass walls.

Outside of this classroom, I am standing and talking with someone. This person is coaching me on how to lucid dream. I am standing in a meditative state (eyes closed) and attempting a WILD while this person is coaching me. He was telling me things about WILD that I already knew.

I suspect that I may be in a dream, or a dream within a dream. Anyway, I try to perform the nose plug reality check. This time it wasn't so easy to control what I was doing. I could not see my hands, and I was very careful not to wake myself up. Somehow I am able to plug my nose, and confirm that I was dreaming. At this point, the dream started to become vivid. However, It appears that I have my eyes closed as I cannot see anything other than a bright yellow/orange light. I attempt to open my eyes in my dream, again being very careful not to wake myself up. Unfortunately this resulted in me opening my eyes in real life, thus ending the lucid dream.
