I have been reading up on WILDing and trying to test it a bit during my afternoon naps.

So this is how it goes;

I'm laying there on my back with my arms by my sides and no crossed legs - as comfortable as I can get. The room holds a good and nice temperature, no freezing, no over heating. Now I try to let everything go, all thoughts in my head, creating a pure blank void - usually it helps when concentrating on whatever minor, minor change of light there is behind my eyelids. And I say quietly to myself, but with the strongest intent, what my goals are for this nap; that I want to experience a lucid dream as well as remembering what I've dreamt as I wake up.

Then I just lay there, trying to focus on nothing. Only a few minutes later, I'm getting these very short quick dreams - it's like miniature dreams, like watching trailers before the movie starts. I see a short sequence where I might be somewhere, doing something and then, after only a minute or two, those scenes are pushed away, they just disappear and I'm like "Hey, what was that just now?" as I'm back watching my eyelids. It feels almost like waking up even though it never felt as I went dreaming off... (NOT to be confused with False Awakenings - because these short trailer-dreams are MANY times lighter and much much more shallow than the real dreams).
All this time I've been laying perfectly still and not opened my eyes once!

The exact thing has happened for three days in a row now during my afternoon naps and today, it got a little bit further;

As I went back from one of those shallow 90 sec trailer dreams, I suddenly felt very warm all over my body - not uncomfortably warm though, a feeling I can not recall having had before. And then there were some mildly flashing lights infront of my eyes (NOT coming from outside though!), I could also feel my heart beating stronger and heavier. That was completely new to me and I guess I must have gotten a bit too excited or something - think I made the mistake of trying to concentrate on those lights. I remembered shortly after that those lights were to be viewed passively, like watching a TV, sort of.

Right then, I heard this VERY soft *click* from my insulin-pump (since I'm a diabetic) - and that's when I realized that the rush was probably over. It was such a low and very faint sound which the pump makes, and if I could hear that - I couldn't be very far off. So I just opened my eyes, started to move my hands and that was it.


Does all this mean anything? I mean, those very short mini-dreams, are those real dreams (even though they feel SOOO shallow) or is it a part you're passing through when WILDing? What should I have done different (where I see my main problem is getting a bit too excited)?

I would be very thankful if someone could clear this up for me a bit!

Thanks for reading.
