      I tried rolling my eyes back last night, and my body started to get very uncomfortable after I did the relaxation technique.
      It was almost painful, so 10 mins after it started, it still was going on, so I moved a little bit to stop it.
      10 mins later, I was still rolling my eyes backwards, and I started snoring! I've never heard myself snore, and I brought myself back to full conciousness, and I never snore in sleep.
      The eye trick seems to be working good!
      I was also focusing on the breath coming in my nostrils, which kept me concentrated well.

      I tried it last night and the relaxation part felt really cool and I could tell I was really close to having a WILD but I rolled over on my side (don't know why lol) which made me lose my concentration


      Edit: I did this relaxation technique before which is probably why I got so far into it the first try

      Sorry to be negative, but all these processes and long-term methods that worked for one person, and we are meant to endure all those steps, only hoping to repeat the same success?
      I am sorry, but if there was a generic method that we could see a bit easier and simply.
      We all haven't got the time to try every extensive method all come up with.
      Just being honest.

      Trying to be honest, but alas it is negative.
      This is only my opinion. Sorry to spread bad news.
      We all want a simple generic way and it is out there.
      It is why we are all really here.

      It is human to want it all, for free, and simple.

      So after not trying to lucid dream for a while, I found this thread and thought this sounds like a really good way to consistently lucid dream.

      I tried it last night, but I couldn't get past the vibrations stage. I would keep trying to feel myself floating or falling, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

      I also noticed that I would swallow without any notice, even when I tried hard not to.

      All in all, though, I feel like I got a lot closer to a WILD than I ever have!
      I guess I just need the persistence to let the rest of the stages work themselves out.
      I got really anxious waiting for it to happen, and then kind of lost it all when I tried moving my dream body too early.

      First i would like 2 say thanks u so much for the tutorial. i read about an hour and a half worth of stuff on lucid dreaming looking up all things like mild and hild. I tried ur technique and feel asleep only to wake up some time in the night ( i woke up about 6 times last night trying over and over agian ) i don't remember how exactly it happened because i was half asleep and like i said i woke up a lot last night so all the attempts kinda blurr in to each other. but i started to relax my body i felt the tingling sensation u describe move quickly through my extremities to my core but the position i was laying in, on my side, made it so when i lost control of my body i feel to my stomach and this snapped me out of it. weak.I also had a dream were i woke up in my bed like normal i stared to pet my cat and she was play-fully attacking my hand through the blanket..... long story short it wasn't my cat i was dreaming i have a black cat this cat was black and white, i went to my back yard and apparently in the dead of night it turns into the stray cat hang out, it was awesome, but when i did wake up i was like SHIT i was dreaming.
      I'm keep trying til i get this, to think i could control my dreams..... its mind blowing

      also i read people having trouble rolling there eyes back into ur head...... i barley did it like border line looking up and it still worked so don't try so hard they don't have to be looking at ur brain, at least 4 me.

      the hardest part for me is staying still, i try to relax but i get so restless i wanna move positions aftr a min or so, i'll have to work on that

      I tried it and I must say I was able to relax very easily and felt myself beginning to float within 5 minutes. Unfortunately, I floated right into unconscious sleep.

      But I love it and will try again tonight.

      "As this feeling spreads to your torso it will become more intense. It may feel as if though your heart is beginning to race, and you may feel suddenly very hot or very cold, and it may feel as if though you cannot breathe. All of this completely normal, and totally illusory. These symptoms of oncoming sleep paralysis were what caused me so much difficulty initially. I was dreadfully afraid of asphyxiating and would wake myself out of it every time. Concentrate on the feeling of energy throughout your body, allow your heart to race (even though it's beating at its regular rate, or a bit faster due to your excitement), continue breathing normally even if it seems to feel labored,"

      thats the part I get hung up on. But now I know im on the right track

      A few questions.
      1. How long did it take you to be good at concentrating on breathing?
      2. When you concentrate on it, is your mind completely devoid of any words? I can only speak for myself, but thinking for me is in english. For this to work, do your thoughts have to be wordeless? Or can you be repeating a little mantra such as "in, out" or something like that?

      I should imagine that I'll try WILDing one of these days. I'll get around to it after I have some actual freaking DILDs...
      Always know sometimes think it's me
      But you know I know when it's a dream
      I think I know I mean yes, but it's all wrong
      That is I think I disagree
      -John Lennon, Strawberry Fields Forever


      DILDs: 2. Current goal: Not wake up instantly from LDs.

      This still requires WBTB, right?

      Dude, this thread was posted in 2008, be lucky to get a response, try not to dig up old threads. Nevertheless its a good guide, and yes it would require wbtb.
