I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this.

A while ago I read a whole bunch of material on self-hypnosis and learned how to go under pretty deep by myself. I came home from work tonight and thought i'd try a little experiment. Since WILD is supposedly easiest done early on the morning or before a nap, I came up with this. I got home and layed down in my bed and self-hypnotized myself and thought about lucid dreaming. i've always had a problem that i'd fall asleep during it, so i thought i might use this to my advantage. Once i felt I was well under hypnosis i thought more and more about lucid dreaming and thought about falling asleep but remained concious the entire time. I felt like I was getting really close to sleep and just watched in my mind what was happening. All of a sudden I looked like I was looking into a bright light and I started seeing the beginning of random images which i think could possibly have been the beginning of a dream. Then of course my mom came in and asked me if i was going to be here for dinner so i snapped out of it. I was hoping it was all part of my dream and a false awakening, so i did the digital clock reality check, but of course i was actually awake.

I am definately going to keep on trying this. I was just wondering if anyone else had ever done anything like this and if anyone was successful with it.
