Something that happend to me during meditation

[twix]

I read somewhere that meditation increases the chance to have LD, so i started doing this meditation:Meditation - What is Mindfulness Meditation and How Do I Do It for a couple of days. I notice that if i do it before sleep it makes the dreams more vivid yesterday I was meditation and suddenly the black screen infornt of my eyes was filled with a little light and I felt that my body is spinning really fast.. it was only for a few seconds and I stopped it because it was scary. Somebody knows what was it? and do you have better meditations for lucid dreams? thanks.

Meditation definatley does help in having more lucid dreams. The one you're doing is pretty good, particularly if you're trying to become lucid using the WILD technique as it gets you used to just watching your thoughts pass by without intereacting with them or getting distracted by them. Your white light experience could be a few things: You can get very bright flashes of light or colour sometiems if you practice image streaming, (image streaming involves recieving and interrpreting messages from the subconsciosu mind), since meditation narrows the gap between the conscious and subconsciosu its quite possible you were inadvertently doing this. A very similar state happens in the WILD process when you enter sleep paralysis, here it can often feel like your body (or sometimes the entire room is moving) and is accompanited by visualisations of colours and patterns.

I used a technique of applying lite pressure on the eyelid for meditation. The goal was to simply focus my visual perception, concentrate only upon perception. Just like in lucid dreaming, one must learn to separate perception from conception, that is master emotions until you learn to ignore emotions altogether, they just disappear. In that state one is simply perceptual, and then one can call into play the rational functions for examination and reflection. One practices this until the time engaged become unimportant. As I said before, Once while doing this, I was concentrating on an iris of light. I slowly moved through the iris. On the other side was a small table, upon the table was an open book and a candle. This book was opened to a single light--as it is written--I did not know these things at the time. I was being told something, something I do not believe even today. I was told in my teens. Yet, the more I learn, the more I have no reason to doubt it. I just do not see myself as that point in history. The first time I started moving through the iris, I did break off, scared. Not this time. I mastered the fear. At any rate. Perception determines conception, conception determines will. One has three practices. One learns to perceive--pure from mental response. Then one learns to think, and then one learns how to put right thought into action.
