Hi all, I "discovered" the subject of lucid dreaming a few months ago and was quite amazed but forgot about it the next day.

About a week ago I remembered it again and began researching a lot and tried it myself. I have been mostly trying to WILD after waking up around 6 hours after I fall asleep and have made some progress.

I have a few questions.

First, while relaxing and falling asleep again after waking up, I felt myself slowly, well I'm not really sure how to explain it but I felt like I was slowly revolving around my head and my body was moving into sleep paralysis I'm sure but suddenly I heard, what sounded very loudly like 3 *knocks* right next to my ear.

I'm sure it wasn't from somewhere in the house as the knocking sounds felt "artificial" and right next to my ear. I immediately moved and ruined the process and just went to bed.

Is there an explanation for these noises? Or was it just a fabrication of my imagination?


My second question was about a recent dream I had.

I was in a dream as normal after falling asleep after waking up at 4am and in this dream I was driving a sleek, black Mercedes Benz which coincidentally was the same car which was in a TV show I was watching the previous night.

Suddenly I crashed and while "watching" the crash happen I seemed to realize that this isn't possible and I told myself I was dreaming.

The second after that the dream or my eyes suddenly went bright white and then the next thing I remember was waking up.

I am quite confused about this recent dream, and if anyone can clarify it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
