Thread: A "zap" every time I become lucid

I experience this every time before my lucid dream starts. I recieve shock in the middle of my forehead (the 3rd eye area), right before the dream begins.

Its a little hard to describe, but it looks like a white light expanding, a little bit like when you turn off your TV, except in reverse. It feels like getting smacked in the head, but without any pain. This whole process lasts for about a second.

I get this every time I become lucid, or wake up too fast from a lucid. Does anyone else experience this?

thats quite odd... I can't say that i do.

I've not experienced a "zap" but that's kinda cool.. it's like a signal that you're about to become lucid.

Since it doesn't hurt.. I think I might look forward to the "zap".

ive posted this before, but when i get lucid (which i have unfortunatly not done for a while), i get this pins-and-needles sensation all over. like when you leg falls asleep and then you get up and it feels all tingly, exept all over. its weired . i also get this jolt, like im in an earth quake or some thing. the whole thing lasts about a second or so.



also, (this is completely random but...) when i was typing "earth quake" i almost typed "earth quack"
and, coincedantaly (again, very random) i have 77 posts! im doubly as lucky! (for the five minutes until i post again lol).

Can't say I have.... it might be a good dream sign though.

I had the exact same thing. I posted it a long time back and nobody knew. What happened was during the day I would get the same sensations on my back and then one day I tried to WILD and all of sudden that sensation happened but 3X worse then before.

It went away though, I hope in your case its the same too.

I agree, that must be awesome, not having to look for signs or do checks.
