What happened was, I woke up from a regular dream, around 8 AM, and as SOON as I closed my eyes to go back to sleep (which was right away), I saw images and a dream began to form. It was lucid, but since I hadn't been to this website in months, I forgot all the methods (i.e. - the spinning method, reality checks, etc).
The reason I'm here now is because I've started trying to become lucid again, and I think I MAY have come close and I'm wondering how close I was.
Last night, after about 5 hours of sleep, I woke up, came to the computer and looked at this website for about 30 mins, drank some Coca Cola, and went back to bed. I tried the "reverse blinking" method, and soon I was very tired. Then, I started seeing "rings of red" or "rings of fire" and became very dizzy and disoriented and was hearing tinnitus (ears ringing), and I was feeling as though I was "falling into a dream". It didn't work though, soon enough I felt myself back in bed as though I never left.
Was I close? If so, what was I doing wrong and how can I make it so that I will continue into a dream scene? I would appreciate any help and thank you all ahead of time.
Merry Christmas to all!!!
