does this sound like HI to you?

hi, im just posting this to share some wierd experiences and questions. ok, so here goes. One night, after reading up on the so-called wild technique, i layed still for about 20-30 minutes in the hope of becomeing lucid. After 20-30 mins. i noticed the sudden un-avoidable urge to swallow, so i did, even though you shouldnt. after this all i remember was my heart beating 10,000 mph, i tried to calm myself, but that didnt work. suddenly, i remember my eyes moveing uncontrollably and seeing this bright, pure white light shineing through my eye lids. by now i was pretty excited, thinking i was going to experiance my 1st lucid dream, but it all whent black and it started to feel like nothing had happend, and i was realy dissapointed.....
can any one tell me what the light and raceing heart was all about? how close was i to being lucid?

thanks in advance :D

Hey Coolking,

I don't know what your heart was doing but the lights sounds familiair. When I concentrate before sleeping I always see colors, dots and patterns. Sometimes with a OBE. For LD this doesn't work for me, for OBE's it's the best way. I suggest to try another way unless you only want to see colors.

Good luck

thanks for the advice whithorse. What do you suggest is the best way for becomeing lucid? was i close to a LD or nearer to an OBE?

Well, the WILD method works for some people. But I think the experiences you have do not have anything to do with LD. But an OBE is also very exciting. Just try different techniques and find the way that works for you.

Enjoy!

hmmm... isnt an OBE related to "wich craft"? can you maybe shed some light on this. if an OBE is witch craft, then i cannot do it because of my religion. If, on the other hand it has nothing to do with that sort of thing, i might try it. by the way, whats the difference bettwen a LD and an OBE? and how do u "enter" an OBE? i might try to achieve an OBE after i have learnt to LD. does a LD feel like real life?
