I thought: I wonder if I can induce a WILD? After a while of just letting my mind drift off, I had increasingly vivid images and whatnot-- still blurry and vague though -- until a peculiar thing happened. I think I went into a dream. I felt everything pop into focus, and I was lucid. It lasted for a second or so. Someone near me dropped something and I jolted awake.
Sometimes I like to WILD, even if I don't get lucid, just to experience the imagery and other possible cool stuff. What happened to you - could have been a lucid, or just a vivid HH. There is a very thin line, sometimes barely noticable, between you being awake and having HH images and those images turning into a lucid. Sometimes the transition is very smooth and you could swear you still awake, but you are already asleep.

I used to get HH, that towards the end turned into 1080 HD images, or even better.

It's possible it was a WILD, since in a nap, you should go straight into a REM. In either case, cool stuff.
