When I woke up this morning, I was lying on my side, still tired. I decided to turn and lie on my tummy. I started losing consciousness but very shortly after, I felt a tingling sensation which made me snap back to reality. I realised that this may be an opportunity to have a lucid dream. There was no hypnagogic imagery nor sleep paralysis, which until recently I thought were necessary. Then, out of nowhere, I felt myself get up out of bed. To be honest, I don't recall wanting to get up; it was involuntary.

The moment I got up, I ended up in my living room. Instantly I knew that I was in a dream. The environment was lit with that orange hue that sunsets normally create, and it wasn't very clear. I rubbed my hands together which made it improve in quality just a little. I went to look outside, and I saw what I believed to be was the sun low in a part of the sky where I've never seen it before. The sun itself looked hazy, and I tried to make it clearer by trying to shout "clearer". It didn't work at all. Also, I could barely talk. I could hear myself, but the volume of my voice was extremely low despite the fact that I was shouting.

After that, I did 2 reality checks. First, I closed off the nasal passage using my throat muscles (I didn't remember that I could pinch my nose). This worked a little; I could breathe but felt a little resistance. Then I tried putting a finger through my palm, and it didn't work. Shortly after, I lost lucidity and woke up.

This could be classified as a WILD, right? If yes, how can I build on the technique to get better results? Thanks!
