Thread: Wilding then 24 LD's

I could not sleep so I decided to WILD at 2am, about 20 minutes after SP I accidentally stopped paying attention to my physical body and stopped focusing on anything.

Then I entered a dream, realized I was dreaming, started paying attention to my body again, then the dream ended (1-2 seconds in total).

I quickly realized I got into the dream because I stopped focusing on my physical body, and I kept doing it.

I got about 24 lucid dreams lasting 1-2 seconds, and each one ended with me thinking about my physical body.

How do I practice focusing on nothing and forgetting I am there?

I think, I would need more precise description of how you were concentrating on your body. You know. Your described LD's could be just daydream fragments or some kind of hypnagogic imagery.

Let me know.

I believe I know what you are talking about.
I'm not sure these really are lucid dreams but the beggining of them as you're in a intermediate state where you are still conscious of your body but starting to see imagery (and not the hypnagogic imagery and day dream fragments)

I've been able to get past this stage. You should focus like said before to remember that you are dreaming and on the images (and sounds) you may be see. Try walking around the environment you see. Don't focus on your body but if you do, after a while you'll get used to it (I know, the sp feeling is extremely weird)

It seems like if I tell myself not to focus on my body, I instantly will to piss myself off for some reason. How to you not do that?

Try to imagine your dream body moving through space. Don't just focus on the scene or imagine the scene. Imagine the feeling of moving through it. Even if you can still feel your body lying in bed, imagine your body floating, bouncing on the mattress, sliding around the bed, ect. The trick is to get the feeling of the motion without actually moving any part of your real body. This works for me every time in one form or another.
