Okay so for the longest time I had sort of fallen out of the LD cycle. I did it for about 2 months and had like 8 or so but then I focused more on school and stuff. Anyways I would try to still do it every night I just wasn't as motivated, but last night I was all warm and snuggly and just decided to try a new mantra. I kept repeating "I expect to Lucid dream tonight" and eventually drifted off to sleep. Then I had a very strange dream with drowning and breathing underwater and finally I ended up at my computer thinking to myself what a boring way to spend a dream. As i walked out of my room I was only semi-lucid and grabbed my mom as she was about to walk into my room. I told her, don't wake me up, Im in a lucid dream. Then she laughed and kept walking inside and woke me up, then I woke up for real. This is the second lucid dream I've had were I thought I was in the dream world physically and that I was just moving around as a spirit or something. Is this normal and what can I do to overcome it?
Then upon waking up I just stayed and place and didn't move. I closed my eyes and tried to reenter another dream. Literally, a few seconds after I closed them a fierce wind started rushing past my head and my body started vibrating. I opened my eyes because I was scared and it all stopped. Then I tried again and almost immediately the same thing happened only this time I saw like 20 different faces flash before my eyelids. This was again too much and i jolted upright. What was I experienceing during this? Was it HH? I've never actually accomplished a WILD before and haven't ever experienced anything like this.
Thanks!
