Hello Dream Views I am having trouble with the FILD method.
First off let me say that I am new to lucid dreaming. My dream recall is good I remember 1 dream a night,and sometimes 2 dreams a night, and I record the dreams in a dream journal. I also have a dream when I take an afternoon nap. When I wake up in the middle of the night and in the morning I like to try FILD. I tap my fingers and against my mattress and soon my eyes start rolling rapidly in my head. My thumb on my other had sometimes twitches and my jaw shakes. After an estimated 10-30 seconds I perform a nose reality check. I close up my nose and try to breath. It usually fails and I open my eyes and see that I am not dreaming.Also, I don't like the nose RC. I turn on the lights and look at my hand and I realize that I am not dreaming. Sometimes when I open my eyes it feels like I open my eyes twice once in my subconscious then when I actually wake up. Am I doing it wrong or do I need more practice?
