(First off I have became lucid 5 times and 4 out of the 5 I woke up a few seconds later or went back to normal dreaming. Only one of the 5 lasted a few minutes.) Ok so I set my alarm for 6 hours after i'm about to fall asleep and did a WBTB. I only did a quick WBTB though (like 30 sec) then attempted WILD. I laid down on my left shoulder and stayed completely still. I started breathing deeply and calmly. I repeated the phrase I am lucid to myself every few second to keep myself awake and to help with becoming lucid. (I said this in the present tense because I heard it help more rather than saying I will become lucid.) After awhile my left arm started feeling heavy. After awhile it was really heavy and both my legs started getting heavier. A little while later my left arm and both legs were really heavy and started aching. The aching grew until I could barely stand it. Even though I didn't start experiencing hypnagogia and was in pain I kept at it for awhile keeping myself completely still with my eyes closed and repeating my phrase. After awhile of nothing happening and the really intense aching I opened my eyes and gave up. I checked my alarm and I from start to finish I had been at it for an hour and a half. (BTW fell asleep at 9:30 alarm woke me up at 3:30 and first attempt ended at 5:00) After that I try again and lay on my back. I relax myself, close my eyes, and repeat my phrase. This time my both m arms and only my arms started becoming heavy. They didn't become as heavy or ache like last attempt though. Soon I drifted off (didn't work) just having a regular dream when I remember I was attempting WILD and became lucid. I am now back in my bed and feel like I am separating from my physical body and when I think i'm about to have a good lucid I wake up. As soon as i am awake I hear my brothers loud TV which is what might have waken me. Or it could have just been I became to exited or something. (It is now 5:25 so my second attempt and my dream/lucidity lasted 25 minutes) So what I want to know is if I did anything wrong and why parts of my body become heavy and sometimes hurt like that. |
