MILD to WILD to Astral Projection?

Graupel,

I noticed your post has been read about 28 times and cero replies. I believe I know why. It's way to long. I myself am to lazy to read through it. Maybe if you shorten it a bit.

I had a very strange experience last night that I want to share.

I had been dreaming for most of the night (although I am going to be using the NovaDreamer to aid in having LD the first part of the night).. and then I woke up around 8 a.m.  I was feeling very tired and felt like I could enter REM sleep quickly, so I closed my eyes again and practiced the MILD technique (Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams.. developed by LaBerge), recalling from the dream I just had for the first part of the night.  Pretty soon I just suddenly found myself "stuck" between dreaming and being awake.. and just felt a surge of vibrations and sounds of a cork popping.

It came instantly, and then the vibrations went away.  Being in that state before dreaming, I was conscious enough to know what was going on and suddenly thought "I'm going to try the Monroe technique of visualization" and focused on bringing the point up and into the back of my mind.  They came again, but then faded so I decided to try the ROPE technique.  I actually saw some kind of imaginary rope hanging from the ceiling and I tried to feel climbing it.. and then I felt the vibrations come on again and I was wanting to *GET OUT* of my body but I just couldn't separate.  The vibrations then faded again, and I decided to cease climbing the ROPE in this half-state of lucid dreaming and being awake.  Beams of sunflower-like sparks then shot right through my eyelids and I felt like I was loosing my focus, so I started counting from 1 to 5 remembering the "count yourself to sleep technique" in LaBerge's book "Exploring the world of lucid dreaming".  I regained conscious awareness that I was indeed intact with my conscious mind, and then suddenly entered a dream scene that looked like a bright bed of sunflowers.  Being aware that I was dreaming, I said to myself "I'm dreaming, make this go away! I want to AP not involve myself with this rediculous thing!" and then suddenly the dream scene changed into a movie theater where Kane (From World Wrestling Entertainment) walked up to me in his red wrestling outfit and told me something about rolling over.  I wanted the dream to go away and was conscious enough to know that indeed he was telling me something.. so I said "NO I DONT WANT THIS" and suddenly found myself in another lucid dream.. although I was thinking of my physical body.  I tried to "roll over" and it was like I partly knew my body existed in real time, but the other part of me was in a LD-reproduction of my room environment with another person laying in my bed.  I managed to "roll" out of my body after vigourous struggling, but noticed something was not right.  That person was still lying in my bed with me and the objects that are normally in my room weren't there.. it was like a Lucid Dream reproduction of my room.  I felt this wasn't it.. so after floating around awhile with distorted vision in the corners o f my eyes (the room looked like a bubble) I thought of rolling out again and tried to struggle and got very impatient.  I felt the surging hissing sparks rush through my head and I kept trying to roll out and roll out.. but to no avail.  I then found myself conscious as it was now 10 a.m. and I decided to get up.

Can a M.I.L.D turn into a W.I.L.D (wake-induced lucid dream) just by keeping an active conscious mind of performing the MILD technique and then somehow induce vibrations, have them fade, try SEVERAL Astral Projection techniques and the vibrations coming back again, entering several lucid dream scenes and getting angry like "I don't want this" and having them fade out, then getting frusterated and trying to roll out, and then somehow rolling out in a plane that is "stuck" between lucid dreaming and astral projection, only to finally enter the realm of the Lucid Dream.. before waking up?  It's interesting because in a way, MILD requires you to keep some form of your conscious mind awake, if not inter-changing that with WILD techniques.  I'll have to experiment with this some more.
