Thread: How was my first WILD attempt?

I decided to take a break from my DILD attempts since I couldn't recreate my first LD, and I figure if I can learn to successfully WILD the other techniques might become easier because I'll know the ropes better.

I got roughly 9 hours of sleep and woke up, I then realized I could sleep in even longer since I had nothing to do so I went to the bathroom and returned to bed.

When I laid back down, I tried my best to focus on just getting back to bed and a little focus on remaining conscious. A mild tingling sensation started creeping from my feet and eventually made it's way throughout my entire body. All of my limbs felt very heavy as I continued to lay still, although I didn't check to see if I even could move them. I began visualizing a dream scene and what I should be wearing in the scene but I never entered what I was visualizing. This got very intense as my heart started pounding and I got the sensation of rolling around or falling in circles.

How was this first attempt? Was I experiencing or close to experiencing sleep paralysis?

Also, did I sleep for too long before my attempt? I couldn't exactly enter a "full" sleeping state. Was this because my room was so bright?

Any enlightenment is much appreciated! I feel I've made some progress this morning either way, but I'm dying to achieve lucidity once more!
