FILD - please help, this is so annoying.

Ok I was trying FILD last night. I tried before I went to sleep which was about 2 AM, that failed because I was too distracted. Anyway I woke up at around 6 AM. I was VERY tired and relaxed so I attempted FILD again, but I guess I got too excited and there was too much stuff on my mind. Every time I try FILD my mind gets distracted and I can't clear it out, it's very annoying. I tried FILD about 3 times last night while I was very tired, and all 3 times I couldn't do it because my mind wasn't cleared and I couldn't focus on the finger movements.

Anyway - I did get a short lucid a couple minutes before I woke up, but it wasn't from FILD; I realized I was in a nightmare.

Someone please help. How do I get all this crap off my mind?

Yes, I have that same problem. Really, you need to work on timing, as in, start moving your fingers as you can feel your conciousness drifting away. It's tough, but once you get it, it's a great technique.

I've also been having so trouble with it, when you guys attempt FILD does your heart beat really fast and hard and do your eyes like blink insanely fast even though they are closed?
