Thread: Newbie :)

Hi, I'm Nathan I'm 17. I just recently learned about lucid dreaming after I awoke and because concious in one of my dreams, everything seemed very real. I could feel the cold air around me and see my surroundings extremely clear. I then went to Google and found out about lucid dreaming, I have downloaded tapes that help me relax, but I still cant recreate this Lucid dreaming, the only thing I have come across is when I'm listening to the tape after about 20 minutes of relaxing, he starts to count from 11 to 20. I am completely numb at this stage I can't even feel my arms what so ever, and when he gets to 20 something strange happens, its very difficult to explain, my heart beat rises and i loose complete feeling over my body and start to panic and feel as if I'm moving directly into my sleep.

As i said I'm new to this and have very little knowledge about it.
& I really want to fully experience this again.


EDIT: After a quick look around the site I found that this method is the WILD one, is this weird panic sensation i feel the very moments before i enter a Dream lucid?
