Falling sensation.

I woke up at 6:30 AM this morning (I always wake up at completely random times during the night, It comforts me since I don't have to set an alarm or anything if I want to try a FILD, MILD or w/e.)

Well I tried to FILD with Hargarts method but everytime I almost felt asleep I got so excited by the thought of having a LD that I woke up. I was almost certain I would get a LD if I would fall asleep since I remembered my last dream and I was trying to get back into it, I also tapped my fingers and thought about doing a RC after about 30 seconds. Anyway I couldn't fall asleep for about an hour when I gave up and ofcourse fell asleep almost instantly.

Now my question is, when I was trying to FILD I felt this weird falling sensation, like I fell through my bed. Is this normal? I woke up from the excitement and did a RC as soon as possible only to find out I was still awake. :(

I have not updated it for a while but this is a technique I use for WILD. The falling sensation is a very key part to it, have a read :)

Thanks for the tip. I´ve read your turtorial and I´m willing to give it a try.
I was wondering though, do you get in SP with your technique? I've heard a lot of scary/bizarre stories about SP and I'm not sure if I want to experience that.

What do you mean with "landing yourself"?

Thanks again :)

You hit SP last night with the 'falling sensation' you had. That is SP... So nothing to be worried about.

As for landing, I wait for the falling sensations to get quite strong, then I know I am pretty much there to be lucid, so try visualise the dream, and land in it. Hard to explain really.

Ok well I think I get what you mean. ;)

As for the SP, the falling sensation suprised me that much that I immediatly 'woke up'.
Im just a bit afraid that I'll see/hear things, I used to have night terrors as a kid but the fear never fully went away.

Anyway thanks for your help. I realize there is nothing to be afraid of :)

Try not to let it surprise you, just go with it :)

So as long as you can wait out the falling sensations, you can WILD??? Is that it?

Pretty much yes! To be honest the falling sensations for me are only for about a minute or so. At least that is what it seems. Just depends how well you can land them. Sometimes I miss and have to start again.
