Hello everyone,

This is my first post here.
I wish it was a constructive one, like sharing information or giving useful advice.
Instead I need some advice.

I’ve been into the LD thing now for a month or two.

My first experience was immediately after I started with it. It was also the most heavy one.
I was taking a nap in the afternoon with the intention of falling asleep and dream. I was focusing on a memory. Played it over and over again in my mind. The moment I noticed my thoughts were going some place else I pulled them back going to that memory again.
Suddenly I felt my body was pulled upright and I was standing before something dark. It was really impending. I heard a strange mechanical repeating noise.
I did a reality check (I always push my finger in the palm of my hand). It went right through it. After that everything went really strange and very frightening and I freaked out and woke up.
Afterwards I was reading about WILD ( I did not now of until then) and I thought that maybe I was very close.

In these two months I realised I was dreaming twice (because of the strangeness) and became lucid for one second.
The moment a realised I was dreaming and did a RC. I felt a shift of consciousness, a real shock. After that the dream disappeared and I felt my body floating away, like I was on a rollercoaster but with no vision and ended back in bed and woke up

This happened to me twice.

Often when I try WILD (My only problem here is the swallowing thing but I try to ignore it)
I get easily to the point where my body goes numb. I can lay very still!
After that I get this tingle and get the feeling of being sucked out of the body and floating away, I hear sounds but mostly with no images. I’m used to this floating and its very pleasurable. I stay calm but after a few seconds the experience is fading and I end up back in bed. I lay there with closed eyes but nothing is happening and after a while a open my eyes and I’m awake.

My experiences always seem to end up this way.
How can I change this?

With apologies for the bad English!
