Regarding sleeping on the right side...this is typically the side I sleep on every single time I lucid dream. I recognized this a few years ago, so sometimes I purposefully roll over onto my right side in the middle of the night to increase my chances at becoming lucid. There's some eastern mysticism about why sleeping on the right results in move vivid or lucid dreams...but my hypothesis is that it has to do with blood flow in the brain and gravity. When sleeping on your right side, gravity would cause blood in the tissues to very slightly move from the left hemisphere to the right. If there is more blood in the right hemisphere, it can function better, and this would increase visuals and dream vividness. Also, sleeping on your right side (as opposed to the left) takes some pressure off your heart, resulting in better blood flow throughout the body.

Since my original intention was trying to induce lucid dream by trying to transfer from vibrational state directly to LD I think that it is somewhat connected. And another strange thing was that all my previous dreams were induced by doing RC and after it succeeded I knew it was dream but this time after vibrating started I just knew it was dream without previously doing any RC.
That's great! Congrats on the long vivid lucid.

I never had SPs again, although I do have WILDs, so I concluded it's really not necessary or forceful to go through SPs to fall asleep lucid. Actually I am glad I don't have to go through it, it is so much more peaceful. I just relax deeply and focus on entering the dream state - it is almost like entering meditative state, but you go directly to dream state. Usually it is very quick and effective to enter a lucid dream this way, once you find the right switch on your brain - basically it's about absolute relaxation of the mind and sharp focus on the objective. I've been trying it at different times of the day and aiming to be able to do it at will, even when not feeling sleepy. I've been experiencing interesting results so far, but I just started, so this might be some temporary luck and later I might stagnate or retrogress.
Yep I know exactly what you mean. I used to take naps during the day, and I would just lay down to nap and think of nothing else but going to sleep, no worries about trying to WILD, etc. Since I has napping at the perfect time in my REM cycle, I would just go straight into a lucid dream within about 15 minutes. I would lose consciousness and fall asleep, but because I was sleeping at such a light level, I would immediately regain consciousness during the vibrational state, HI, or when a dream started....so I would always get lucids. Sometimes I'd spend 2 hours just DEILDing over and over again in the afternoon. The reason it worked so well was because I had to get up early and go to class from 8am - 11am. After which I would come back to my dorm room to enjoy marathon lucid naps...and then get up and head to my next class from 2pm - 5pm. Since I'd wake up early, around 7:15, I would have plenty of REM leftover, which I could take advantage of during those mid morning naps. Actually, most people don't realize this, but the best time to nap is within 4 hours of waking up. Your chance to become lucid during a nap lowers drastically past that 4 hour window.

But all of sudden like a wave of something crushed me, it seemed like the frequency of my brain has decreased, my "vision" got very deep like I was falling into something. I felt a huge drop in my vital functions, my breathing became very slow and I felt my heart beating very slowly. I got scared and opened my eyes, got up and drank some water and returned to sleep normally. It's opposite of quoted there because humming in my head got slower not faster...But I have not succeeded in controlling the vibrations.
Could you explain a little more about the circumstances surrounding the WILD attempt? When did you try it? Did you wake up in the night? Had you had some sleep already?
