So, I was recommended to try HILD, and I did so yesterday/last night. I decided to download a recording of the HILD process, because I was far too lazy to read and memorize it myself. Anyways, I laid down on my bed around 8:30PM and turned on the 35 minute long recording. Feeling some quite pleasant sensations, I became quite confident in the fact that I would have a lucid dream that night. I became deeply relaxed and drifted off to sleep, but made sure to turn my iPod off before drifting off. Maybe 5 hours later, I awoke-- with a somewhat blurry dream in my direct recollection. Lying there, I remembered nothing but pure confusion and some extremely odd sensations from my dream. The dream consisted of confusion until the very end-- I felt as if water was being rapidly produced by the inside of my cheeks, and I couldn't close my mouth to keep it from spilling on my pillow. By the way, I was dreaming that I was lying there on my bed. I didn't feel like I was sick, it was just something that was happening, heh. It was as if I had accepted it, and therefore let the water flow. My dream pillow was becoming drenched with saliva. After that, I started to rapidly open and shut my mouth. I don't remember the reason why I started doing this, I wish I did. I woke up seconds later, confused still. Definitely a very odd dream-- haven't experienced anything before. I had a feeling that I might have been lucid in the dream, but became confused or something and had this experience. I don't know, really. By the way, I want to mention that I haven't had an LD yet.

Later that night, I had a few regular dreams, but they're not worthy of attention.

What do you guys think?
