Thanks for the welcome, guys!

Yeah, I guess I didn't think stress would be that counterproductive :X I guess I was wrong though

I posted an account of my LD at http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34891. It was kind of entertaining, methinks ;D As for the techniques, I hadn't been actually v. well-versed in techniques since I hadn't done that much heavy research; before I had the LD I hadn't read about WILD or anything like that.

Actually, I didn't even believe that I would be able to have an LD :X Since my subconscious misbehaves (never gets me to wake up when I want it to ). So, before I had the LD, I'd just heard of the DILD & doing reality checks, and then just recently (read: 2 days before the LD) I had gotten into the habit of inspecting my hands whenever I went to pick something up or when I was washing my hands in the restroom. I guess it paid off somehow

I have a quick question actually: what exactly is the "pulse" that occurs toward the end of WILD? I was trying it last night and unfortunately I let it go away because I got to excited. But it felt really neat. XD Actually I aborted it so prematurly it stopped around my midsection, I think, like someone had turned off the scanner Anyway, I didn't want to make a needless other thread about this Though maybe I ought to, if other people have the same question. Thanks in advance
