Thread: WILD question

Hello dreamviews,my name is Nadav and I am kinda new to this lucid dream subject,although I had 1 or 2 lucid dreams before.(luck,i just noticed i was in a dream)
So I want to try this WILD thing,I have read about it and it seems interesting.I tried it this noon and what happened to me is after some time I started seeing instead of pitch black(what you see when you close your eyes) it changed into white and weird stuff.I had a problem with it,the problem was that I felt each like 10-15 seconds that my eyes were about to open but I resisted it.After a few minutes of this I started to feel like my body was falling or moving like im floating in the ocean.After a few minutes instead of the white and weird stuff(dont know how to call it) I started seeing black again so I thought I failed and gave up. Is all this normal ? How does all this work ? How do I know when I got into a lucid dream ? This night I will try to have alarm clock 5 hours after I fall asleep and go right back to sleep,hoping the have better results. Help me please
By the way,I have a fan in my room,and it makes noticeable sound.When I will fall asleep,will I still be able to hear it ?
