Any of you who have seen me post around the forums before may have noticed that I'm quite interested in the science of lucid dreaming and here's an extract I read in article earlier today. |

Getting things wrong since '91
===================
Hmmm... I was trying to WILD last night, and I noticed something odd, the vibrations and weird bodily sensations I got became much more severe if i focused my attention "forward." I don't know how else to explain that, it's like my default focus when trying to fall asleep is up and to the left, but by shifting it to directly forward the blackness seemed to bulge and my sensations got a lot stronger. Wonder if it's related.... It was especially weird considering that this was all abstract, no concrete visuals or actions taking place. Unfortunately I found the sensations so distracting I couldn't WILD successfully and eventually had to give up and just try regular sleep. |

I can do the exact same with my ears! In fact my most successful WILD involved me "refocusing" my ears to hear a more all-encompassing ringing noise, I literally fell into the dream after that. |

I think I know what you mean about "refocusing" the ears, though the sound I hear is more of a static or white noise? I only get it when I've woken up and try not to move so that I can fall back asleep and when I do it feels like the sound engulfs me completely and is accompanied by a weird head pressure. If I do it right i enter a dream instantly (WILD), though other times I'll feel the sound coming on but for whatever reason it stops abruptly and my sleepiness seems to instantly go away and I feel very awake and alert. |
