First WILD experience! Have a couple questions though

[cctxbmx]

I starting researching LD about a week ago after two books I ordered came in. I have read a few stickies and am still learning all the acronyms and such. I was fine searching and reading what others have asked but I have a question of my own that I can not seem to find. Or I'm not looking right. Question is, is it normal to feel REM. While attempting WILD last night I actually felt my eyes rapidly moving left to right. How it happend if you care to read. Last night I decided to give the WILD technique a shot. I got ready for bed, got comfortable laying on my back, hands to side with a blanket on top and no pillow. I relaxed my body and cleared my mind. I did not move my body at all and tried to ignore the itch on my nose, which broke my concentration lol. I felt my body get real relaxed and I tried to keep my mind awake but not too busy with thoughts. Then all of a sudden my body felt unreal, I did not feel a bed beneath me nor my cloths or blanket. I thought to myself cool, just stay lucid a little longer and my dreams will start to form. Laying there lucid my eyes started to twitch, and I thought to myself could this be REM or was it just a quick twitch. It was not a quick twitch and went on for some time. If I could estimate I would say 20 seconds. When I realized it was REM I freaked out and starting breathing fast and hard. My heart was also pounding fast. I tried to stay still but it was my first time and I did not know what to expect, so I moved and became fully awake. I took a few deep breaths and reflected on what just happened. I thought to myself Ill try it again, now knowing what to expect. I laid there again and my body feel asleep and I felt REM again. This time I stayed calm longer hoping my dreams would start to form. No dreams formed only random noises and weird randoms thoughts came to mind. Second question is to those who have WILD before. How long till the dreams start to form? I tried creating my own dream of what I wanted but as soon as I tried I heard a loud bang! I took it as don't do that and cleared my mind lol. I am going to try this technique again tonight hopefully have a dream form and be lucid in it Found the sub-forum on WILD lol. Questions have been somewhat answered. Sorry for being the newb
