Thread: Tips for NOT becoming lucid?

I didn't think I'd be posting in this thread ever again. But here we go again - all the old rules apply. But there are a couple of new ones.

1. It doesn't have to occur in the daylight morning hours anymore, meaning that I don't get a good night's rest anymore, which is why I'm currently here writing this. I feel like going to get a milkshake.

2. Vibrations. Everything is vibrations. When I try to move, vibrations that just get worse and worse. This is like Dream Zero with crazy vibrating chairs. That much at least is forever planted in my mind as nightmarish now. As dumb of a scenario as the chairs thing sounds, I will never be able to shake that.

3. Originally I believed it was lying facing down that caused this. That was always my favorite way to sleep, so comfortable - but I had to abandon it. It led to this kind of event, and when I quit sleeping that way it seemed to stop.


I fell asleep briefly somewhere around 1:30 - 2:00 AM. I know I wasn't asleep long because I was listening to my iPod and only a couple of songs had played. I woke up because my arm was bothering me - it was all tingly and asleep even though I hadn't been lying on it. I shook off the paralysis and it didn't seem to be coming back. I turned off the iPod.

The next thing I know I'm standing in pitch blackness. Or maybe I am lying down, but it really feels like standing. I tried to move a little and there was this horrible vibration of me and various objects, mainly chairs and things I know are kept in my room. It just intensified if I struggled.

Like all my lucid dreams, I could just barely open my mouth but could not speak. I've experienced the vibration before - other times I was very clearly awake, lying in my bed (face down, no less) and I could even see the faint glint of light from another room through my eyelids.

Anyway, I was freed from this dream or whatever it was at 3:05 AM. How fitting - the time that when, according to some sources, demons emerge to have their ways with us. But we all know thats bullshiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

So now I have to ask: Is this the beginning of a WILD? This vibration always seems to occur in some form, usually a quick snap when I go from non-lucid to lucid, and is over. The paralysis too always occurs in an actual dream: sometimes it's just my mouth that doesn't work, sometimes I'm completely paralyzed. But they're always dreams - I can see my surroundings. This time I was likely still in the "here and now" of being in my own real life bed (not to be confused with the dream bed, where nightmares occur). If this was a WILD, then would that make all of my other experiences WILDS with the "dreams" occurring with them actually being hallucinations?

I've never wanted to WILD and I've never really tried it. Having this be a WILD does come to me as a success because I do not want to be doing this, especially without trying. I find it odd to be a WILD considering so many people are trying it and failing. It seems like there are such strict guidelines and many little details to doing that. I also never thought hallucinations would be so clear cut like an actual dream, if we can consider dreams to be very clear at all.

If any of this is contradictory or just runs together, I apologize. I'm trying to get all these details down and I'm a little tired.

Sounds to me like you might want to look into yoga and/or deep breathing exercises. Your sleep problems seem to me to be stress related and treating the stress in a homeopathic way might be the solution. I would worry less about LD and concentrate on balance (spirit, body, energy) . IMHO

OH MY GOD! how can you say him to drink alcohol? It's a joke or what?
If you give an advice then do it right! it's like "hey nobody loves you? you must take drugs...they are peeerfeeect"

advantageous noodle...
it's strange, you have a strange problem...
but, do that, try transform these nightmares in pleasant dreams, think rational, remember that nothing can hurt you.
try for example, closing your eyes..what happen?


I hope you can beat them!

It works..Also he already said he wont drink alcohol.
I realize we are very different but try to keep an open mind...

Drinking alcohol it's not a way to have an open mind....
There are safers ways to help...when drinking alcohol you are harming yourself, and is innecesary to say to somebody "hey, drink alcohol, it's solves all of your problems"....

i never said drinking alcohol is being open minded...being open minded would be if u have negative ideas about drinking alcohol keep em to yourself....
Anyway this is my last comment about this.Peace

C'mon guys. Let's just be friends.

I wouldn't drink, but I appreciate the advice nonetheless.

The problem is not going away but I'm dealing with it much better. I really just dug this old thread because I wanted to know if I was WILDing or not.
