Hey I'm new to this forum, this is my first post :3

Anyways, two nights ago I attempted my first intentional Lucid Dream.
What I did was when I was lying in bed on my back I had my hand and forearm pointing upwards to the ceiling, perpendicular to my upper arm. (90 degrees angle)

Also when I took a breath in I counted to 1, then when i breathed out I said "I am Dreaming" (in my mind) and continued doing this 2, 3, 4 etc..

After about 20 seconds of doing this it felt like a surge of energy hit my body and knocked me unconscious. Now this was my first attempt so I regained consciousness straight after this had happened, because I was like "woah that was trippy, it actually works".

After this I kept trying the same method but I couldn't relax or concentrate properly because I was so excited and a bit scared. However I felt as thought I almost got into the dream state as It felt my mind was tunneling to another dimension. But I couldn't get there so I just went to sleep normally.

I have some questions hopefully someone can answer

1. Is it normal to lose consciousness after about 20 seconds?
2. Could this have turned into a WILD if I had kept concentrating?
3. Was I close to having a Lucid Dream?

thanks in advance <3
