Thread: Hello, a bit of a newbie here...

Hello people of Dreamviews! I've been lurking around sites about Lucid Dreaming lately and the things I've read about lucid dreaming is incredible. I'm trying my best to get into it. I've been experiment the WILD technique (it's the only one I can really get into) but I haven't had that much of a success with it. I'll point out the problems.

• I've had moments where I start twitching and my back or my knees feels desperate to rise up? Has anyone experienced that?

• I do the entire WBTB idea with WILD but the problem is I can't relax and then I can't get myself back to sleep, I just feel more awake. I can practice WILD in the afternoon when I'm feeling tired but from what I've read that's not necessarily the time to do it?

• When I'm about 10 minutes in WILD I see a bright flash infront of my eyes? When this happens my heart starts racing like mad, my eyes are moving around like crazy and I give up. Any idea how I can resolve this?

I began writing in my dream journal ever since July the 1st 2013 to July the 12th 2013, I stopped writing due to the lack of motivation but I've started all over again because I'm seriously curious about it ever since I started reading about it online. I started writing again in my dream journal on the 11th of August.
I do own galantamine, choline, melatonin and vitamin B6 and they never seem to increase the vividness for me. I think the closest I've ever been to achieving a sort of lucidity was on the 14th of August, it wasn't as detailed or as vivid as many people describe about their lucidity but I woke up an hour later feeling quite giddy, it was odd but I think I was getting there.
