Hi, I am new to this forum and have not officially had a lucid dream yet; but a few months ago I remember trying and something strange happened. I woke up in the middle of the night and decided I would try to lucid dream (only later did I realize that I was WILDing). I relaxed for a little while and then began to feel weird, and all of a sudden I could feel my vision slipping away into my dreams. I started to see red flashing lights, like a siren, and after a few seconds heard the alarm as well. I must have gotten too excited and woke up, but then something strange happened. When I opened my eyes I could see tons of letters across my vision, kind of like when you look into a light and then turn away and the imprint stays. I could tell they were all typed letters and after about ten seconds they went away. My question: has anyone experienced something like this? When they wake up from a dream and still have remnants of it left? I have never heard of something like this before and would like to hear any thoughts you might have. Thanks
