Thread: Was I close to lucid dreaming? Or Nah?): WILD style

Hello everyone,
I'm new to trying to Lucid Dream, but I'm not quite sure how. I've been researching about it for three days now and last night, I had the guts to try it. The fist night I started researching about it, I was to scared to try because I just finished watching Insidious with my girlfriend and I was SCARED as hell to have hallucinations of that. So instead of going to sleep, I stayed up all night. The second night, I researched more and I read that you'll only hallucinate scary things if you expect scary things, so I just started to expect non-scary things, and I wasn't as scared anymore. (Is this good?) Anyways, last night, I finally did it. I woke up at 3am on my own, chilled for a few minutes and got started. I probably messed up because I didn't write me dream I had before I woke up. After I finished "chilling" for like 5 minutes, I laid down, put my head phones on and listened to binaural beats. (If you want to watch the video, it's called R.E.M. & Lucid Dream Enhancement by Neuromancer) I listened to it for 11minutes with my eyes close without moving my eyes or body and swallowing. I felt(or heard) my heart beating super fast after like 6 minutes I'm assuming. I felt like something heavy was on my chest making it a little hard to inhale. My feet started to feel weird. Numb I guess. While listening to it, I kept repeating: I will have a lucid dream tonight with beautiful models, I will have a lucid dream tonight with beautiful models, I will have a lucid dream tonight with beautiful models. I imagined them surrounding me in my room, but nothing. I then started imagining my dream from 2 nights ago: Riding a bike down small branches miles high in a forrest. Didn't work, so I gave up and stayed up for the rest of the night lol. Was I close to have a lucid dream? What should I do next time? Can you guys give me some insights on this experience please? Thank you! I look forward to posting a lot more when I start dreaming!
