Congratulations on your first lucid dream and may your next one come sooner than later!

Congratulations. And may your next one not require random explosions in your neighborhood.

Man, that would piss me off. Last night I was laying there and suddenly this bright light appeared on my ceiling. It startled me a little. Then I realized it was my stupid cell phone displaying the "battery done charging" screen and would be dimming in a few seconds, which it did, but that brought me back to full conciousness.

Anyway, welcome.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Lol I think im traumatised now keep expecting lound explosions when im trying to relax and enter a ld.
Oh yeah whats up with the people who say they hear things like screams and see people on the end of thier beds. That would really freak me out

Im guessing that wont do wonders for your success in lds!

Ive thought ive heard screams on the odd occasion and i've thought i've heard someone calling me. I guess it's just a mystery

Yep lol actually I was doing a bit of research on sp. So am I right in saying with the wild technique you actually have to go through sp before you become lucid?

It seems most of the visual and audio hullicinations occur during sp and for some reason all seem to be kind of evil. I dont want to scare anyone else reading this either just wanted to know how common this really is.

Thanks

I'd say it's somewhat common, providing you actually consciously experience SP. But, by no means is it going to happen in every case.

However, I want to point out that those things are often perceived as "evil" because they can catch people off guard. Remember, you don't have to know anything about LDing or SP to have the experience. That means that people who don't understand it misunderstand what it really is and they get frightened and freak out. They think it's something out of the ordinary or supernatural and the only way they can explain it is to call it an "evil presence", or something similarly sinister.

Since you now know what it is you'll be able to face it without fear.

Hey slickg, yes in the WILD technique you do have to go through SP, however it has been common among some not even to feel SP when it overcomes them, its asthough they skip it out or just let it slip without realising and get straight to the HI, but yes you have to go through SP if attempting a WILD, but watch out for the imagery that may sneak up on you, you may think that your not in SP when you are and if you experience the imagery it is a good sign to keep you on track.

Listen, we all define evil differently in some ways and i think what you need to do is try and convert these negative thoughts towards the hallucinations to positive thoughts, think a bit more positively about the situation, this should hopefully extinguish any of these horrible hallucinations. Remember Its all a creation of your Mind. You can do it, just believe in yourself and you can achieve pretty much anything
