Hi everyone

I am new to Lucid Dreaming, Although I have had the chance to do some extensive research over the last week or so, I am really into it - such an amazing phenomenon.

So I have had DILD, it lasted only a few seconds, but it was exciting nevertheless, however I do want to induce a WILD...I have read the tutorials and am having a problem with one 'little thing'

I find it easy to become relaxed, clear my mind, count, get into partial paralysis, then eventually into full paralyis - no problems...I can guarantee myself getting into sleep paralysis anytime i try to WILD.

The difficult part for me is entering REM & full sleep paralysis, I see the images, have heard sounds but im very distracted by my heart POUNDING against my chest, and finding an INCREDIBLE amount of pressure on my chest and therefore feel the need to breath deeper....the change in my breathing obviously brings me out of full paralysis and into partial paralysis....and i loose the REM period.

I feel soooo close to the dream state but it's just this little hinderance.

I hope you guys can give me some pointers, i've read other topics but i'm not sure if they cover my specific question.

Thanks guys, by the way im new to Dream Views!! Howdy!
