Hey last night I found a technique, I was going to use klaces technique but I moved when I woke up. Luckily for me it was the perfect time to try WILD. Now I've only had 1 LD before this, so I wasn't expecting all that much. I tried using the eye exercise technique and reverse blinking. When used one after the other, (eye exercises first then reverse blinking) I found they allow my body to relax quickly while keeping my mind alert (they do this very well ).

I tried WILDing for about 30 minutes, but I had a certain distraction that kept me awake. I live in Darwin, Australia. Darwin has notoriously hot and humid weather and I don't use an air-con(I'm a bit of a greeny and I don't like air-cons anyway). Instead I use a fan, a really good one but it makes a bit of noise, the noise actually helps me to get to sleep, but the bits of papers on my pin-board and all the other junk in my room keeps blowing around. REALLY DISTRACTING!!!!! So I turned the fan off, and the computer (I realise once I turned the fan off that I had accidentally left it on, so much for being a greeny......).

When I went to bed after that I noticed the room was very silent. When a room is quiet your brain usually generates a buzzing sound (I'm guessing your brain generates it but I'm not sure). I thought I had read something about listening to the buzzing sound before, but I couldn't remember where, but I gave it a shot.
The buzzing sound was at first slightly annoying, but then slightly relaxing. Every now and then it would raise in volume dramatically, then go back to normal. After a few minutes I realised my body was shaking a bit each time this happened, and that the rising in volume started to happen more frequently. Suddenly out the blue I started having vibrations throughout my body, like your meant to, and started to see hypnotic imagery. The abruptness of it all startled me as I had no idea I could get to that stage so quickly! I couldn't really feel body apart from the vibrations and it was very new to me (the last wild I did I somehow regained consciousness when I was halfway through hypnotic imagery, weird heh?), so I lost it and woke up. I rolled over, almost subconsciously, realised I shouldn't have, but thought what the heck I'll keep on going again.

I was sure that the buzzing had something to with the SP and HI but I hadn't yet realised that the high volume pulses to the buzzing were actually vibrations (even though during the intense vibrations I could hear the loud buzzing in very quick beats). In about 30 seconds after I started listening again I began to hear the high volume beats again and felt slight vibrations with each one. they weren't straight one after the other, but they happened fairly frequently after each other, and the frequency rapidly increased every minute. Five minute later and I had the vibrations again (but strangely no realy HI). I then had a lucid dream.

Again like my first LD I had a few nights ago it wasn't very vivid and I wasn't all that lucid, I had very little control even over myself. My room was dark, and I don't think I could change the lighting. I did manage to put my hand through a mirror though . I actually jumped into the mirror after that, and found myself in a black darkness. I want to fly through another mirror into another world, but the dream faded out.

I woke up and went to my computer desk. I felt strange, I did a RC, put my hand in my desk and realised it was just a false awakening. Unfortunately I woke up again for real. I I stayed still when I woke up, concentrated on the buzzing and again came to the vibrations (again no HI) and had a lucid dream. I walked around in this one, outside my house said hello to my brother but before I could try anything cool it faded out again.

Seconds after I woke up, my alarm went off and I had to go to school.....

Still... I had 2 (or three.... does the FA count?) LD's in a row, which I thought was awesome... and using the buzzing/vibration technique.

Does this technique actually have a name? Does anyone else use it?

Also, has anyone got any advice on how I can increase my Lucidity and Vividness? I tried in the dream but I couldn't really make it happen. I also find I can't speak in the dream, I feel like I'm actually going to move my real mouth not my dream mouth. Sorry about the length and randomness of this post, but can anyone help???
