Trying to induce a dream while already in one
Im on a quest to master lucid dreaming and the astral.
I still to the best of my knowledge have never had a lucid dream.
Today i was trying to fall asleep while remaining conscious.
After feeling my body go completely numb ( more intense then sleep paralysis ) I see a kind of tunnel of purple light, then i could feel my dream body move while knowing it was not my real body. This all felt really cool and i was exited but remained calm. I was disappointed when i discontented from that feeling, then I tried to change positions in bed because i was kind of uncomfortable and attempted to try to go back to sleep, back to the previous state. my stomach started hurting but i still tried my hardest to relax and go back into my dream. I thought i had woken up but this what not the case.
I was in my bed trying to consciously enter my dreams while already dreaming. The pain in my stomach was intense but i just tried to tank it and continued since i thought that once i entered my dream it would all be fine. The pain was to much so i got up from my bend and went to tell my roommate about the whole dream thing and that i was in pain, so i went to hes room and fell at hes room entrance in pain, then we talked about all that had happened only to then wake up and realize i was dreaming all along.
So i went from meditating/relaxing, keeping my mind free from thought and trying to "feel" my self consciously going into a dream to doing the same while already in a dream. for an unknown reason, pain was the result.
Im still very new to this and im sure i will eventually master my dreams.
Anyone experienced have any advice? i told my self after that if i ever felt pain it would be my cue to realizing I'm already in the dream.
First post, looking forward to learning from people.
