Lo everybody .

Ok I've been reading around on the internet for a while about lucid dreaming and more recently WILD's, and had my first lucid dream about a month ago. At this stage I have picked up all the info about WILDing that I can find on the net and know im ready to start trying properly.

Today was my first attempt at trying and I got kinda confused. I used the breathing relaxation method as in Seeker's "The Five Phases of WILD" tutorial. I kept focused on breathing out for I'd say about 5-10 minutes until I felt relaxed, but during this I didnt experience any hypnogogic imagery or dream fragments. Anyway, then I started counting "1. I am Dreaming.......2. I am Dreaming......etc.". After somewhere between 30-50 my face started twitching and I started blinking fairly rapidly. None of the rest of my body was vibrating just my face.

I kept this up for a while I think I reached around the 90 mark but the twitching etc. started getting less intense. I thought to myself maybe I was in the dream and I just needed to open my eyes and do a reality check so I did. I opened my eyes and looked at my hands for about 10 seconds and I didnt see them melting , then I try to float upward just to make sure but nothing.

If anyone has any advice or pointers to give it would be greatly appreciated .

Oh and thanks for for your time in reading this fairly lengthy post
