Hello all. I'm new to DV but have been triyng on, and off, for quite sometime to become lucid. I was a bit of a skeptic until one day, quite long ago, I had an amazing dream in which I had what felt like complete control but not lucidity. This time I am determined to succeed, with out giving up.
I have, what I would consider above average dream recall, relative to an average individual. I remember at least one dream a night with out intedning to do so, with the occasional dry spell. Most...all..my dreams are simply memories. I feel I have no opportunity to even think if I'm dreaming.
Also I wake up regularly after a dream sequence, which started after reading an article on DV, but am unable to attempt any induction techniques becasue I feel uncomfortable. It's almost easier to roll over and just slip away. My body seems to ache or get restless, usually after sleep paralysis (which for me is just an extremely heavy feeling). I even purchased a Bi-naural beats dvd, which helps, yet I still get an uncomfortable feeling, unable to drift into sleep. Probably too excited and preventing my own success? Any advice, greatly appreciated
