Extreemly Fast Lucidity

Ok, well I just tried out the steps here http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ead.php?t=8534

And when I got to about the 10th point, I got that weird feeling of weightlessnesses and ticklishness (wasn't strong, it was light but I felt it'd become more evident if I continued). I also, for the 1st time, started to hear this odd tone that'd get loud, then soft, loud, then soft. I really felt like something was going to happen, but then I just stopped. To let you know, I was in a pretty well lit area with my computer buzzing, and not really expecting for anything to happen but have my pulse go down a bit.

I also had this scene clearly in my mind too during that time. Is it possible that I got relaxed so fast that I had some sort of WILD? I'm curious because it happened so fast in such an environment that I thought didn't allow those sorta of sensations.

This would support my current theory that one of the main requirements for achieving WILDs is to fall asleep quickly so as to improve one's odds of maintaining a minimal level of awareness through the process.

Although my few successful WILDs involved long periods of wakefulness after going back to bed, I think that the wakefulness in the middle of the night just primed me to fall asleep that much faster when I did finally fall asleep.

Congratulations! :)

So when I try this again when sleeping (which I have done once before, got to the transition stage of the WILD then stopped) should I do when Im trying to go to bed, which is usually like 10 or 11 pm, or should I sleep till about 4 or 5 am and try it then? I hear sleeping 1st makes u more likely to have a dream faster because of something about REM. If I try it before I go to bed, will I just see a wall of blackness and have no real dream?

I would definitely sleep 4 or 5 hours first. That's the common advice, and it certainly works for me.
