Successful WILD!
I ended up at one point in the dream after being zoned out a while listening to the music I had put on my headset for it, with some vivid visualization going on unintentionally. I am not sure how I realized I was in the dream but eventually I did. I was still in bed and still could hear the music. I managed to entirely make myself go up straight (not by actually moving, somehow while eyes are closed making myself float upwards and up straight, strange sensation) and opened my eyes to see a messy unstable dream scene of my bedroom. It was for some reason hard to keep open my eyes or to move and I think the excitement then was the reason I woke up.
Woo! Such a great confidence boost! Time to get 2 hours remaining sleep time before my day begins.
