Strange experience

So im fairly new to lucid dreaming, i've never had a LD but last night i listened to some hemi-sync tape and the experience was kinda weird.
I imagined a lemon being in front of me, i tried to remember how it tastes and how it smells etc.. i tried to relax my body, after a few minutes it felt like a warm blanket over my body, minutes later i didint feel my body :s, next thing i notice the tape ended. i coulda swore it was like 90 minutes long, but it felt like only 10 minutes have passed. Tomorrow i listened to the tape, it was really 90 minutes long. But how did time pass so quickly? maybe i was close to a LD? This was my strangest experience so far, any help would be appreciated :D

:welcome: Sig! It sounds like you fell asleep! The tape seemed to end so quickly because you lost consciousness and regained it after the tape ended. You're on the right track, just try to listen to the tape a bit more closely or use an additional anchor such as using a mantra, counting, or visualization to hold on to your consciousness until start dreaming. What you're trying to do is find a balance between falling asleep and remaining conscious that allows you to WILD.

You'll know you're getting close if you start experiencing "the noise" as Sageous calls it (http://www.dreamviews.com/wild/13228...out-noise.html) or otherwise start to actually dream consciously.

Wow.. i fell asleep :D. I felt like i was pretty much awake all the time. Anyway, any experience will help me, since i don't know very much about lucid dreaming.
