Thread: Last Night, first WILD(ish)

Hi everyone,
Last Thursday I had my first lucid experience, I was running up the hill below my house away from a man with a flamethrower, at the top of the hill was a soldier with a rifle. I noticed his rifle was bent at the end, almost made of liquid when I realized I was dreaming! unfortunately it ended very quickly as I found myself overcome by the notion

I have had no success on the lucid front since then. I remember 2 - 4 dreams a night though so I figured I'd be in a good position to obtain one.

Last night though, I tried a WILD. I didn't realize they wouldn't work at the beginning of the night so I'm wondering if that was the problem. It went like this... I lay flat relaxing for about 20 minutes, when I felt myself very relaxed I experienced the strange hallucinations, shapes and a warped view of the space in front of me. Then my whole body started to tingle and go numb. My heart was beating very fast as I was getting really excited but something about it made me stop. I was getting too nervous maybe. I opened my eyes and realized I had obtained sleep paralysis as I couldn't move after a while it wore off and fell to sleep.

Was the problem that I woke myself up from it? or was it just the wrong time to do it?


Sorry for such a long post,
Thanks in advance,
Will
