That's hilarious, lol.

Another quick question is it possible to try to go into a dream while you're dreaming. Wouldn't that kind of throw your mind into wack? That's what happened on my last dream. Check it out and post any comments.

You should try this for about a month - as you become more adept at it you'll get into deeper states of trance and be able to easily transition into a dream fully aware with practice. It's not guaranteed that you'll have the abyss feeling because everyone is different, you may experience other sensations like spinning and such (these are signs telling you you're getting pretty deep because they're normal things that happen while you're unconscious drifting or in sleep).

As for going into a dream while dreaming, that's a really weird thing to do. Last time I did this that lucid dream within a lucid dream was very very malleable and liquid like.... it was as if I could shape the entire universe at will - where as in a regular lucid dream it might be a little tougher. It kinda reminded me of different layers of reality or something. Physical Reality (where there are laws that govern - gravity, etc) > Lucid Dream Reality (less laws or none at all - this could be astral reality before it if that exists) > Dream Within A Dream (where there are no laws and anything can be done). Something like that...

I think it's the effort you're putting into achieving a lucid dream through WILD. I've done this a few times (failed at WILDs) but fell asleep right afterwards and my consciousness was still with me so I became lucid.

Thanks for sharing and thank that spider if you see it again. LOL.

Reverse Blinking can be used for lots of things. Since it gets you in a nice suggestible state you could use it to perhaps take in some subliminals with my SILD technique, or planting auto-suggestions while in the state is perfect too - or just relaxing. It's a great little technique and I'll be sure to thank that spider if I see it again
