Was I getting to a Lucid Dream?

Hey everyone im fairly new here so bare with me. But i was reading the forums last night and i found out about isochronic tones. Ive been trying to have a lucid dream for months now and i still couldn't do it so i thought id give it a try. So i put headphonese in and played it while i was trying to fall asleep. After about 15 minutes into the tape I started to feel really weird and started to feel like i was falling through my pillow and bed it was a really strange feeling. Then it almost like my mind went very clear and I could see everything perfectly, but I just seeing blackness. While this was happening I kept feeling that I should open my eyes, like something was almost making me open my eyes, almost like i was opening my eyes to the dream. So I ended up doing it but I just opened my eyes to reality. After about another 10 minutes it happened again but this time my leg had a little spas attack and it caused me to leave this state again. So guys can you please explain to me what this was happening to me? Was it a stage of going into a lucid dream? It was kind of a nice feeling too.

Thanks.

The falling through a bed is a common sign of entering a dream, or getting very near, if I'm not mistaken. Just stay with the feeling and even after it goes away, the blackness behind your eyelids may turn into some imagery, that may turn into a dream. Don't open your eyes. Once in a dream, you will regain your sight.

Spas attack - I think this happens when you have already fallen asleep and you suddenly wake up. Nothing to be concerned about.

Read up some more on the methods in DV Wiki to see what other sensations you can expect. Then when it happens, you will know what to do. Especially, stay calm and stay with it. Are you trying MILD or WILD. Because if WILD, you can't do it without having slept for at least 4.5 hours.

May I ask, where did you get the tones? I would like to try them, too.

Ok thanks, well im glad im getting closer. Well i guess ill have to try it again tonight but like you asked I was trying to complete WILD. So Im guessing the reason why I have to get more sleep before is because i need to be in an active REM period, is that correct?

Anyways Ill try it again tonight but also I got the tones from iso-tones.com

Thanks for the advice and help.

Yes, for a WILD to work, you have to be at the beginning of a REM state.

By the way, I would recommend you practice MILD also. It may help you to get lucid on the nights, when WILD fails you.

Thanks for the tip about iso-tones. Good luck to you.
