Well, to begin I have been working now for 3 months to train myself for lucid dreaming. I have been using the dream recall and WILD technique almost every night to try and guide myself into lucidity, but alas it seems that there is now a problem.

I can relax and guide my mind into a restful state, but as I begin to feel my body slide into SP my breathing becomes erratic for no apparent reason (just to mention I am very calm by this point and am in no way agitated or overly excited) I begin to get very very hot all over. At this point I become agitated by the heat and erratic breathing, which sadly forces me to start the whole process of relaxation all over again.

I really feel that if I could overcome this problem I could fall into my first lucid dream. knowing that am just a step away from realizing my minds potential is quite unnerving, so if anyone has any suggestions as to how to overcome this problem I would greatly appreciate it.
