Hello there everyone, my name is Tykk and I just registered here. I've been lurking and reading about experiences and how to become aware in a dream.

I've been working on dream recall and keeping a dream journal and asking myself periodically if I am awake and checking my surroundings to get myself in the habit of doing it.

My question was about WILDing. Earlier this afternoon I decided to take a nap and as I went and lay down I decided to try to WILD. I lay there for a while and hear and concentrate on only the fan blowing in my room. After a little while I felt my limbs become heavy and I lay there like my body was numb. My mind was still fully awake and I could feel my body tingle every so often. I would try not to concentrate on that and only listen to the fan blow.

There were a couple of times I would start to imagine I was somewhere else, but I think I was doing it and not that I was going into a dream. After a few seconds though I would still be laying on my bed and would be listening to the fan blow. My body was still really heavy and numb, but I could never seem to actually start a dream.

Was I doing something wrong, did I miss out on something? Do I need to concentrate on that feeling when my body tingles, or do I need to try to create a dream for me to go to?

I still believe wholeheartedly that I will be a Lucid Dreamer and that I will share many experiences with you all here, I just think I need a little help getting started. Any suggestions?
