Weird feeling when about to go into the dream (I think)

**Kling** · 07-17-2011 04:23 AM

Alright, so this have been happening sometimes when I am going to sleep.

I am laying in bed, about to sleep, and I start randomly thinking on stuff, could be anything, doesn't really matter, but after a while I guess I am thinking so much suddenly I am not aware I am going to sleep and so I get this weird feeling, almost like I am about to enter the dream and then whenever that happens I think that this is some kind of WILD and I guess I become excited or something, so my heart starts beating faster, and then I try not to focus on entering the dream, but I can't stop so it ends up in me waking myself up so I am totally awake.

If anyone have any information about such experiences, please share, and do anyone know if this is actually right before I enter a dream or not? If so, Is there anything I can do to stay relaxed while entering the dream?

I get this sometimes too where I think myself into a dream XP

Though this isn't really a WILD in that it very rarely leads into a lucid dream but mostly normal dreams. The train of thought just kind of smoothly transitions you straight into a dream and you forget you were ever awake. as for staying relaxed, that just practice. I tend to use some counting and breathing techniques to keep me conscious.

Alright, thanks for clearing that up.

Have you ever been just thinking random thoughts (not trying on doing some sort of wild) while you're conscious, get into a dream and feel the transition when you enter the dream and actually entering it, instead of what happens to me, that it just stops? If so, was it lucid?

I can only remember that happening once. I was very sleep deprived and the dream was the most unstable thing ever and lasted no longer than 30 seconds. And that was only once.

That happens to me all the time....... my heart starts beating faster and i start breathing faster and then just wake up.
I think it happens when you're about to enter an SP ..........
It never works for me..... i cant get to WILD......... so now i am trying DILD and looks like it is working (at least , better than WILD)
