Wake Initiated Lucid Dreams (W.I.L.D.)

I have brought this up before but seeing as new members come a long I will pose the question again. I have never ever been able to find anyone else that has been able to do this.

When I was younger every night I would lay down in my bed and I had a few tricks which I naturally did and instead of going to sleep I would "jump" straight into a lucid dream. No sleeping required. As the name suggest I would initiate on my own a lucid dream from the wake state. I feel like I still know the tricks and it's been a while but with enough practice I bet I could still do it.

Has anyone else ever been able to go from awake straight into a lucid dream?
