first lucid dream experiment
Hello everyone,
I thought I'd introduce myself by bringing up something interesting which happened to me. I am not an expert in lucid dreaming and I just recently started studying this.
I had been experimenting with brainwave generator and binaural beats, so see if they could really change my state of mind. So last night I created a preset, which I listened to from my computer's speakers, which basically goes as follows: 16 Hz to 3 Hz in 20 minutes. After 75 minutes, 3Hz to 10Hz in 5 minutes, back to 3Hz in 5 minutes, repeating for a few hours, then stays at 3 Hz for most of the night, until a few hours before waking up, the 10-3Hz cycle repeats. My results: Around 4:30 in the morning i woke up for reasons unknown, although I know I had been dreaming (not lucidly). I stayed awake while laying in bed for a while, the binaural beats still in the background, around the second 10-3Hz cycle, eventually i fell into another non-lucid dream. But during the dream I could feel my body being pressed and a tingling sensation. I also started to wake again, but as I woke, opening my eyes was very difficult and I could barely move. Sleep was pulling me in. I saw this image of a dark room with a few people in it, but something was extremely frightening and I wanted to wake up. However, I tried to "step in" to this dream and I almost was successful. For a fleeting moment I could feel the image become a real world. But the fear was too great and I eventually woke up completely again.
I did not have success for the rest of the night, but I believe I had made progress. If I am not mistaken, I believe what I experienced could have been a WILD but correct me if I am wrong. I would also like to know anyone's opinions on if the binaural beats could have helped or if this was simply coincidence. Looking forward to meeting everyone and I will enjoy being a member of these forums!
