Well, here's my story. I've been studying lucid dreaming for about 6 months, and attempting it for 3 months.

I've had 2 lucid dreams in my time. The first was random, and what originally initiated my interest, as before I had it, I had NO IDEA about lucid dreams. I pretty much wasted my first lucid dream, as I had no idea what was going on, so I just played out the dream I was having beforehand.

My second lucid dream was a DILD. I was having a recurring nightmare, and as I approached the peak of the nightmare, which is me basically falling off a shrinking skyscraper, I became aware and challenged the nightmare. Success!

Sadly, this one occurred after me having been through a great experience of emotional distress pertaining to my ex-love. A dream character told me, "Check the vendies up.", pointed off in the distance and I turned around and looked and found myself in a room with no doors or windows. This woke me up.


Recently I've been trying the WILD technique. I generally wake up after 5 hours of sleeping and attempt to recall my dream, I then stay awake for about 30 minutes, usually strumming on the guitar or listening to music.


So, I've done a lot of browsing around here as a lurker. I'm having a hard time incubating a lucid dream using the WILD technique. I can lay quite still, but 40 minutes later usually find myself giving up as I see no hope.

I have a hard time NOT moving my eyes, anyone have any suggestions for me? Also, 30 minutes in my various muscles around my body begin to twitch on their own. I'm comfortable so I'm not sure what this is.


And whenever I do feel a strange feeling come over my body, is usually only persists for a few moments and then dissipates on its own.

Can anyone offer me any advice? It would be greatly appreciated.
