So my name is Kevin and i have been interested in LDing for a couple months now but it wasn't until about two weeks ago that i started to seriously commit to it. So far i have started my dream journal which i update consistently. My dream recall is ok, not great. I've had a few nights where i remember like one really detailed and vivid dream along with like 2 other dreams which i only remember fragments of and I've had nights where i struggle to remember anything at all. I have not had an LD yet but I'm working on it. I tried the MILD technique but things like mantras and all the visualizations you need to do just end up keeping me awake most of the time. I decided trying to WILD and although i have not LDed with it yet, or even fully achieved SP, but i feel I'm making progress. So far the sensations I've felt while trying is after a while of laying motionless on my back and counting my breaths i begin to lose feeling in my legs and my arms or sometimes they start to tingle, like someone is tapping them with an ice cube. Then after about 40-45 minutes i start to get these hot flashes throughout my body which makes me uncomfortable and breaks my concentration and my WILD attempt, but i suppose if i can ignore these I'll be able to enter SP.

Anyways that's me, thanks for reading and sorry for the long post.
