Thread: FILD (First Attempt Failed) Need Help!

After 4-5 hours of sleep my brother woke me up.
I changed side(on Back) and tried to do the finger movement, it didn't work(Maybe I wasn't tired). So, I thought about to wait until I am more closer to the sleep. When I was close to the sleep I started doing the finger movement. In seconds my body started delving into some darkness, it wasn't a common darkness. It was like my body might takeoff at any moment, my breathe pattern changed, my fingers were going out of control I wasn't able to control the pattern of tapping, saliva was building in my mouth so I had to swallow as well. My body was going out of control, it happened twice and then I failed. I tried to sleep a lot after that but I was unable to sleep. It all happened 2 hours ago and I am awake(Only slept for 5 hours).

Can someone please help with these points? :-
1. Swallowing saliva takes me to the reality, what to do?
2. Do I have to focus only at finger tapping?
3. What to do when I start delving in darkness and everything goes out of control?
4. After waking up after 5 hours, how many times can I try FILD before going back to sleep again?
5. My cooler's sound is a bit high but it never annoyed me, can this be a problem when attaining lucidity? Like cooler's sound can make me realize of reality?

Thank you!
