Thread: Strange experience... VILD?

This just happened to me a few minutes ago. I was laying in my bed, about five minutes and I decided to try to see if I could see some HI, no previous preperations or anything. Well, I couldent see any. Now this next part is goign to be hard to explain. Withing about 3 minutes of just looking at the images my mind produces, and not paying much attention to them I felt as if I was going through a transition phase. Within seconds I could not feel gravity, could not hear anything, felt almost as if I was being "sucked into the dream" although I could still see nothing. A few seconds later my body felt like it does when i'm dreaming. Suddenly I felt myself fighting for breath and quickly snapped out of the transition.

Anything like this ever happen to anyone else?

Very strange. I cant think of anything like that. Made it could be somthing more superstitous like, instead of dreaming passing over for a second?

Not to sound weird =)

I had the same experience, and it was the most real of anything I've experimented with regarding LD. It was also on my first attempt anything LD, and haven't been able to do it again since. But if you experience it again, I would recommend just relax and allow it all to happen, go along for the right. It's likely that you were going into a dream and maintaining lucidity, but like many first timers get too excited and wake yourself up. That's what I do all too often

i tend to have a very similar experience

i dont ever try to see hypnagogic imagery, i find it rather distracting so i just try to re-create the same feeling

i do this by feeling (with my mind) the inside of my head, or the inside of my consciousness, probably the latter

if i do this, i have the experience you speak of, or similar, i basically feel the same then my body quiets down and i get almost to sleep, but my awareness is still intact and i notice it and i sometimes (its random) find myself fighting for breath, or i will simply fall asleep

i do also have that very spacey, trippy feelling every time i pull myself out of this, i tend to feel like i just smoked like a fuckin blunt of nugs with my buds when this happens, its crazy how intense the feeling is

so i can say me and you had the same basic thing happen
