This morning I had my first WILD!

The beswt thing is that I tried only a few times, and only the first one I got to SP (the other times I saw at best some HI). That time I had tons of HI and a very strong SP, I couldn't even move a finger. I fell asleep -.-

Here's how it went. I woke up at about 7.00. Since I'm going to university and I haven't to follow the courses, I can sleep a lot in the morning so usually I wake up late, and I decided to stay in bed. I couldn't sleep, so at 7.45 I went to the bathroom and when I returned I said to myself "I could try something... WILD, but that's difficult... maybe FILD? Well, I'll start by relaxing, if I get to SP I'll try WILD, if I see that I'm falling asleep I'll try FILD."

So I wasn't even sure what to try. At 8.00 I started to relax, and I started feeling my body heavy. I told myself "Is this SP? So soon? Strange... Let's see"; so I tried to move a finger. It was very difficult, but I moved it, so I told myself "No, it's not SP... But I can't move my fingers for FILD with this difficulyty to move, I'll just try to stay conscious until I enter SP."

So I started counting "1, I'm dreaming, 2, I'm dreaming, 3, I'm dreaming" and so on. I didn't feel anything new, so I thought I would probably fall asleep as always without entering SP.

However, at about the number 75, I found myself lying in my bed in the same position, but my eyes were open. The window was open too (it was sunny outside), and the light was on. I realized there was something strange. First, I didn't remember to have opened my eyes. Second, if I was still in bed, why was the wuindow open and why were the lights on? Third, if the window was open and it was sunny outside, why were the lights on?

So I did a nose RC, and I could breath. "So, I'm dreaming!" I realized, and told myself to stay calm. I started getting up, but I was moving very slowly and I had a great difficulty on mantaining my eyes open. I told myself "I'm going to exit the bed and then concentrating on the world around me to increase stability and control, maybe that'll work for mantaining my eyes open too.". While I was getting up, I saw two stickers attached on my bed cover, with the images I normally have on two posters on the wall. I did another, longer nose RC to be sure I was dreaming. I was, no doubt.

Then, while trying to keep my eyes open (I was continuously opening and closing them), I opened them in real life and I was awake. I even remember a weird moment when I have my eyes half-open and I saw the real world outside but I was still seeing the dream inside my eyelids!

Anyway, it was an incredible experience (even if short): entering an LD without losing consciousness is great!

What should I do next time if something similar happens again? I thought I could try to stabilize while still in bed, would it work?

Another thing: I'm still having difficulty in getting to SP, how can I reach it easily? If I just relax, I fall asleep almost every time I try.

Thanks in advance for the advice! I hope I'll have more WILDs soon!
