Missed it by that much...

Hello all,

Last night I went to bed and thought "Why not lucid dream tonight?" So I tried to.

It was going brilliantly. First I felt my appendages go still and I couldn't move them. At this point I began to get a bit excited. Then I began to build my dream. I was in a spaceship. The next thing I know I hear the television roar from downstairs, completely throwing me off. I was not able to go back into the state I was in.

So, was I close? And also any tips to go back into the "lucid state" I was in (or tips to ignore the tele?)?

Cheers,
DreamBounty

P.S. I know this is quite a condensed version of what happened, but if you need further details, just ask.

If you going for a WILD, don't do it as you go to bed. Get at least 4.5 hours of sleep first and then do WBTB. When you can't move, you are in sleep paralysis, which is a stage near dream stage. Just do again what you did last time, wait for the images behind your eyelids and enter the dream. Happy dreams:)

Thank you kindly for responding.

The problem with the 4.5 hours of sleep before hand is school. I have to wake up at around six-ish. If I go to bed at 10:30 and get 4.5 hours of sleep I'll end up with only around three hours of lucid dream time.

But I will try :D and I will report back tomorrow.

Good night,
