Alright, I have a few questions about lucid dream techniques.

I learned about FILD technique and I've heard it's the easiest technique there is, I am excited to try it.

I also learned about WILD which I tried a couple minutes ago. I layed down, closed my eyes, started to breath deeply and relax (I've never lucid dreamed and I've heard this is the hardest level of lucid dream) After a few minutes of just breathing deeply and focusing my arms felt very light. it happened in 1 second, they felt so light and relaxed, then a couple more minutes passed and the blackness I saw from my eyes closed formed into like a circle, it was so weird and I cant explain it. the circle was black and was in the middle, going bigger as if i was zooming in, I freaked out cause I thought I was going to start seeing the "scary" images people say you see when you go into the sleep paralysis stage and I opened my eyes. (i felt like i was in sleep paralysis because my arms had gotten extremly relaxed and light and I started to see that circle.) I realized that I wasnt in the sleep paralysis when I opened my eyes and started moving.


It was a really amazing experience even though I didnt lucid dream lol

I also have a question, since you are sorta consious and realize that it's a dream, how does it feel? Like do you see the world as if you were there or does it feel like a day dream and you're just thinking about it?




EDIT: I just watched a "tutorial" video about WILD and they said that trying this can lead to insomnia if you try this technique before you sleep and wake up, so did I do it wrong? was I suppose to sleep and wake up after a few hours and then do it?
