Urgent!

Okay so it's 4 am where I live and I can't get to sleep. Whenever I start falling asleep, (I feel like I am) my eyes feel like they're being pulled into my head, and they feel like they're darting around. My imagination gets more vivider. Does this mean I'm about to enter a lucid dream? Shit, it scared me. Please reply soon! I'm going back to bed after I get a few replies!

Your eyes darting around is very common sign of rem (rapid eye movement *hint) sleep. This is the most common time to have long, vivid dreams. Its the sweet spot basically.. Sometimes having a weird change to your regular sleep shedule can cause a rebound effect, so if your up abnormally late tonight it could be catching up with you. My advice is go to bed asap, and just try to remember your goal to slip into a LD.. Its a good time to WILD, MILD, or DILD really. Have at 'er, best of luck.

So should I let my body do it, even if it hurts? Because my eyes hurt prettty badly

hmm your eyes shouldn't really hurt... I can definatly say it wasn't the most enjoyable feeling, but pain isn't the word I'm looking for. Not a doctor so I don't want to tell you its nothin, but really your eyes are probably just sore cause your tired. If its really painful it could be something serious. Can't say from here, ask a parent to take a look or possibly go get it checked out.. Honestly though, the whole imagination thing goes hand in hand with rem so its probably just that

Just relax them and dont think about them, instead concentrate on your breathing.

How did it work out? Did you end up in a lucid dream?

[penguin]

Sadly, no, I think my mind was playing tricks on me. And yet it happened again, so here I am again. I'm just going to look up some methods. Maybe I could WILD.

It sounds like you were close. Don't give up! But do relax, maybe your eyes won't hurt so much then.

If this is not a side effect of a med or a health problem, then it could be a good thing. It is possible you are experiencing a kriya. Basically they are spontaneous occurences the body goes through when a person is accumulating energy. I've read many reports that match your explanation. I've never experienced this particular one though. You should try letting it happen even if it is very painful, many kriyas do cause intense pain. Try meditating and see if you can trigger the experience, then go with it.
