I've also used vibrations to go into a lucid dream.

2 minutes is awfully short for some have you ever had longer?

wow...this is INSANELY crazy for me to read right now.

Last night after I was attempting a method of relaxing and counting while I fell asleep...I felt an intense vibration on on my inner left thigh.. it was so intense it 'woke' me up I had no idea what to make of it at the time.

I had never read anything about vibrations until now...this is so cool!

So my LDs are ridiculously short. My longest was up to 10 minutes but that was only because I kept losing and gaining lucidity in the same dream. I had about a 5-6 min one once too but I couldn't seem to do anything.

Whatever you choose to beleive, vibrations themselves are REAL and there are both scientific and paranormal explanations for them. Personally I beleive that vibrations are experienced because you are coming out of sensory perception and entering dream perception for your sense of touch, so the vibrational feeling is a feeling of "feeling nothing" for a few seconds while it "plugs in". With this in mind vibrations occur a few times a night, but we are asleep and do not notice them.

Whatever you beleive, I discovered recently that they can also induce ready made lucid dreams! Most of us don't feel vibrations when we wake from a lucid dream, but I did once and I kind of "rode" them, concentrated on them, and within a few seconds a brand new dream materialised around me. And it wasn't short either, I got a lot done and the dream was definately over 2 minutes long!

The only way I can WILD thus far is by feeling and giving into vibrations. But it's not easy to get into a state where I can experience them before I completely fall asleep.

I'm gonna try and get those vibrations tonight though. Last time it happened was after a failed FILD attempt, so I want to see if I can do something like that again - barely keep myself from attaining REM for a couple of hours, then maybe do a short WBTB, then finally let myself fall asleep.

omg, that happened to me 1 or 2 nights ago(never, ever happened before). when i woke up the next morning i didn't know if it was a dream or real life

Hey guys. I think the vibrations you are all talking about are the result of sleep paralysis (sp). I had them last night myself, and yes, I certainly entered a lucid dreaming state as well. In fact, a whole part of the WILD process involves inducing sp, and riding out the vibrations until you are in a dreamscape.

Also, Idolfan, I too have heard that these vibes can lead to an OBE, but I'm still working on that. If you do manage to get a successful OBE, please post all about it in the Beyond Dreaming forum, so we can all read about your experience.
