      My last attempt at this method left me somewhat disturbed.

      What I did:
      As usual, I drank enough water to wake me up after 4 hours. When I did, I was still very sleepy. I lay on my right side, closed my eyes and started tapping my fingers gently on the bed.

      What happened:
      A few seconds later I was aware that I was lying on my side as I had been. But I was also aware that I was twisting and turning in my bed. It was a simultaneous awareness with only the tapping fingers as the common element. This scared me and the tapping faltered for a bit. I opened my eyes to see I had actually not moved at all. I closed my eyes and resumed tapping. Very soon the double awareness occured again. I could feel two states of awareness at the same time. It was very disturbing.

      Is this normal? Should I do something at this point to ease my fear and help me slip into the dream-state awareness completely? It really is a very scary feeling. Is there any way to overcome the fear?

      You should have done a reality check - maybe you were in a lucid dream!

      I had this feeling too; what I did was get up out of bed--and it was my dream body that did this and the feeling was gone. I wasn't really scared tho, it was just weird.

      Now I feel like I just wasted a real good opportunity.
      Oh, well. At least I know what to do the next time.

      Thanks!

      This looks like a very intresting way to induce a LD. im sick today so i might as well try it if i decide to go to sleep at some point.




      Happy dreaming,

      I tried out FILD the night before last night. It worked for me perfectly! Even in the first attempt... however last night it didn't :-( I simply wasn't tired enough when I woke up. Going to try this out again tonight! Very nice method indeed... Doesn't require that much focus and effort.

      Man, I tried this tech like 8 times last night. I prolly over did it a bit but still it had no effect on me whatsoever! I had a strange night though, my heart was beating really hard all night, I don't know why. I didn't really feel tired most of the night. However I did get to the point where I thought I was about to fall asleep and then did the FILD, did a RC and nothing! I tried again after a few mins, nothing! Then I went to sleep for a couple of hours, woke up and tired again. NOTHING! hhahahah man, I am having a hard time with LDing. I believe that the WILD style techniques are for me but I can't seem to get anywhere with them apart from feeling very very numb and getting to the early stages of SP. (Even that doesn't happen very often). hmmm ? I dunno

      I have tried it a couple times and it doesnt work for me. When I feel myself falling asleep it wakes me up .
      (ie. it gets warmer and I have less sensation of my surroundings)

      Then I wait till Im more tired but I fall asleep, lol.

      k so does this work if you go to the bathroom or do stay up for a few
      minutes before attempting? Do you even feel a transition into sleeping?

      This seems good as I'm having trouble with WILDs; falling asleep too fast
      or nothing happening and trying for hour(s).

      How many times can you attempt in one night after a failure?
      (sorry if any of this has been covered.. 17 pages is intimidating to read )

      I think this technique (FILD) is bogos. I keep trying, but i never get any results from it. But im going to keep trying cuzz i drift back to sleep real quick right after getting up and i cant even do an RC. When i try i get to the playing the piano part then i wake up and its morning. Maybe this tech doesnt work for me.

      Whenever I do FILD, I become lucid and my vision is hazy, and blurry, and my room is really bright, I managed one time to make my vision better, but lost Lucidity and woke up soon after.
      Next time I do FILD, I'm going to relax in my bed, and make everything perfect before I get up.

      I tried this method last night, I felt funny all over, yet I knew that if I moved my fingers to do the RC i would wake up.
      Maybe I'll try again tonight.

      Also tried this last night with complete success first time round!
      It was interesting what happened when my vision went blurry, So I spinned round and my vision went into a weird 3d. I shouted vivid (or something similar) and it went back to normal. Anybody else experienced anything similar?

      This seems great no fkn wbtb staying up for x number of minutes. I'll try it soon just a few more ordinary wbtb with MILD (got to try a little more =D), then I'll try this =D. Thanks for taking your time, wasn't that long ; smooth reading
