Ok, so I decided to learn lucid dreaming the other day. I did a lot of research, and I tried to attempt the WILD method after like 5-6 hours of sleep. The same thing always happens.

I just lay down with my eyes closed, for what seems like an half hour or longer and nothing happens. My left hand always gets paralyzed first and it just stays like that, while the rest of my body is just 'tingly' and very movable. My left hands elbow started to hurt a little so I got worried, and gave up. That's the farthest I've gotten. I've tried like 6 times now and just give up...

Is it supposed to be like that, one of my hands being paralyzed and the rest of my body isn't? Am I supposed to just wait until other body parts are like that too, then the image stuff comes? I'm really confused about all this, thanks.
