Hi, I'm new to Dream Views.

I've been lucid dreaming since September. Usually, I wake up around 6:00 AM monday-friday, and I go to sleep around 9:00-10:00 PM. Friday night I usually stay up until 12:00-2:00 AM. Saturday morning is usually when I have lucids. I wake up around 9:00 AM and close my eyes. As soon as I start seeing figures and objects, I know I'm about to enter a dream. However, I have a really bothersome problem. Whenever I try and have a lucid dream I feel pins and needles all over my body. This makes it incredibly hard to stay still, because it tickles... a lot. The feeling is especially strong in my right armpit and on my neck. If I move, I can't enter my dream. So I ask:

Is this normal?

Does anyone know what my method of lucid dreaming is called? (I've been wondering if it's WILD, but I'm not sure.)
