Am I on the right track?

[ohbe]

Hello, DV community! First time posting in this forum. Tomorrow marks a month since I started attempting to lucid dream. So far, I've had two very, very short DILDs and I've finally decided to try WILD. I tried WILD for the second time last night. I lay there for a good 30 minutes or so, ignoring the itches and swallowing as little as possible. My hands and feet were steadily getting number and number but at one point, I felt like they were just completely cut off. I couldn't feel discomfort in my body other than my face. My body became very light and it felt as if it was rising up a little bit. Swallowing had becoming more difficult as well. I could see patterns and cutscenes in my head, but I was conscious that my eyes were open under my eyelids, it's like I was LOOKING INTO the visuals. I kept laying still for about 10 more minutes after that and a couple things happened: 1. I started feeling like my whole body was spinning, that lasted for about a minute. 2. I started hearing my friends' voices counting the numbers I was counting down. 3. I could see the numbers of my countdown visually, but I would constantly lose the count. Simple math would work though. After that, I got tired of attempting it and moved out of the numbness one body part at a time. So, am I on the right track? What am I doing wrong? Seems like I can't really let go of my mind, it's like I'm getting excited everytime I notice something new happening. Going to try again tonight, pretty excited that I got somewhere. Thanks in advance for all the replies!
