Hello friends, i just made my dream view account today and this is my very first thread. Hopefully, you guys can help me achieve lucidity . anyways... here goes my post XD.

I have not had a lucid dream before, but I have tried to WILD a couple times but all of the attempts were unsuccessful. I have gotten up to the point where I achieved sleep paralysis and my body gets heavy and numb. One of the times, before i entered SP, i heard a tape rewinding/whispers and then i got really scared. I didn't see any images that time though. On the second attempt at WILD, i saw a old school movie screen counting down from 4..3..2..1, but this time, I did not hear anything.

Is it normal to experience different sensual effects every time you get in SP?
If i get into sleep paralysis but do not see any images yet, will opening my eyes put me into the lucid dream?

sorry if there are a few grammar mistakes, i am pretty tired today so i might have made some mistakes
