Woohoo, I'm On A Roll

[TurtleLG]

I'm on a roll . So I found this website and began my intentional lucid dreaming career 3 nights ago. Last night, not only did I have 3 lucid dreams (although short and pointless), today I attempted a WILD. I didn't succeed, but I didn't have to - what I felt was amazing. I felt what it was like to fall asleep, without being conscious. I WAS AWAKE THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE PROCESS, AND FULLY THINKING. I was at my friend's house, explained to him what I was going to do, and he was interested, so he sent me to his room where he was on the computer and I put the pillow over my head. I used someone here at the forum's method of imaging writing from 1 to 100 and back again, and after each number stating "I am lucid dreaming." The other person said they only lasted to 95, while for me, it was 50. I noticed my vision was slowly getting darker, although I was clearly still awake. I also felt the goodness of what it usually feels like to get into bed after a long tired day. Anyway, after that, I started to inhale a lot, and my heart beat REALLY quickly - thump thump thump - I got slightly scared, and would've stopped if I had not known that this was normal. Then I felt a tingly sensation all throughout my body, and I got very cold. My eyes were also twitching a whole lot, moving all around under my eyelids. Then I knew I was really close - I began falling backwards, into sort of portals, and I tried to fall further and further into sleep, but I just couldn't make it. I didn't see any normal thoughts/dreams to enter, so I was falling into blackness, and I still tried, but I couldn't make it. Anyway, it was awesome. Does this all sound right for a WILD? P.S. When I got up, after I couldn't fall into a dream - I was awake the whole time and could move whenever I wanted, I could also hear my friend typing - I felt very shaky all over. Similar if I just finished a nerve-wracking speech, and I'm relived, but my body is still tense and shaking.

Wow, congrats you seem to have a natural talent. I've never wilded, but you sound close from what I've read

Wow, congrats you seem to have a natural talent. I've never wilded, but you sound close from what I've read That's def a good thing, because I'm obsessed with LDing after I found this site hahaha.

I'm not sure, I think your body was still awake. If it was truly asleep you wouldn't have been able to hear your friend typing.

Congratulations on your progress so far! By the sounds of it, you was really close to having a WILD. I think you might find some visualization techniques helpful as I find them the most easy to way to WILD.

Good to hear you had a good time. Awareness of falling asleep can be quite pleasurable, whether a dream spawns from it or not. I'm not sure, I think your body was still awake. If it was truly asleep you wouldn't have been able to hear your friend typing. Not true. People can hear and interpret external stimuli even while sleeping. Makes evolutionary sense, doncha think?
