Thread: Not sure what happend

Ok so my whole reason for posting this thread happened last night. But ill give you all a little insight into the last 3 months. I have been practicing yoga, meditation, and Pranayama with a great deal of success and can really picture things in my minds eye as if they were dreams. I in the last month i learn a rather useful trick in meditation with opening my 3rd eye. I look at the bottom of my sight then roll my eyes to the top, makes me feel like im opening my eyes.

So back to the main point. Very early this morning i should say after 4:50 am (last time i looked at clock before laying down) i started to think about people i have not seen in awhile trying to think about every little detail about what they looked like the last time i saw them. After about 5 minuets of this i roll over and hug my body pillow and throw off my sheet and pull my comforter over me. At this point i start hearing my name being called not knowing im falling asleep, the second time i hear it i open my eyes really slowly. It feels like i haven't opened my eyes in days they open with a feeling of THANK GOD WE ARE OPEN, but its not my room i see its every thing. It looked like multiple images laid over each other. At the bottom a city that im falling towards then a dark scene with a large feast on a table then faces of friends. The whole this is spinning and feels like a LSD trip crossed with a huge hit of DMT. So in my novice mind state im scared of what is happening because just because it was so unexpected, i jerk open my eyes and see the side of my pillow. My heart is now racing and i can see ghostly images around my room, i also see vivid green and yellow fractals in a ring on the edge of my sight so very fine and so very detailed. i think to my self did i really just open my third eye all the way or was my mind about to enter a dream and hit me with DMT. All i wanted to do was to go back i just had to go back and fall to the bottom and i could really experience it. So i throw my blanket off and pull my sheet back over me and start to picture my friends faces again. no use my heart is still beating hard and all i can do is think about how i missed my chance. I fall asleep sometime after thinking about how i could be flying around my own city right now and how i would control air speed and if i would have breaks to land lol.

Now im awake and this is the first thing i did.

Sounds like an amazing trip! Seems like you managed to WILD, then got out of it and when you woke up you had some HI.

Congrats, I think you managed to WILD. Meditation and third eye practice is excellent for entering and controlling the WILD experience. You pretty much did the standard WILD technique perfectly: wake up after some amount of sleep, focus your inner eye by visualizing the details of something, then you experienced some HI (the name calling). Then when you opened your eyes you entered a lucid dream, but it wasn't in your room like some people do. A clue is that the dream included the faces of the friends you were visualizing. Then you snapped out of it. Your mind might have been kind of "scrambled" having just started HI and a lucid dream, so you saw some weird ghost images. You woke up completely and fell asleep normally.

If you want more controllable lucid dreams, I would suggest visualizing your environment--perhaps every detail of your room, or a sandy beach, or a palace made of ice, whatever you feel like. Keep using your third eye technique and practice going into your dream body. For me personally, if I'm in a place I know already, like my house or a classroom, it's easier for me to stabilize the dream. Once you have a steady dream, you can continue to do whatever you like.
