I've been browsing this site among others for a few weeks now and I decided it was time I start posting. I'm extremely interested in Lucid Dreaming and would like to hone my skills to be able to do it on command.

I've had 2 lucid dreams so far. In both, I subconsciously realized a reality check had failed. It's been awhile since I've had them and I've been trying pretty hard to have more with no luck. I've been reading alot about the WILD method but have had no success with it, yet. Each time I've tried I get to the point where my arms and legs have gotten pretty numb and my breathing has become very rythmic and slow, but I haven't been able to produce the hypnagogic imagery. The only thing that has happened is I've had a few flashes of color and have felt like I was being pulled out of my body, but then I become super conscious.

I usually try for a good hour at least and then get fed up and just go to sleep. Any advice would be appreciated. I'll be around for awhile, so a big Hello to everyone.
