ha. it almost worked. i hate it when i feel wide awake, and then two seconds later, i'm out. maybe i should wake up a bit later, i'm usually tired around 5-6, as opposed to four in the morning. grin

so, i didn't go lucid, but i had the best dream. ever. seriously. it actually felt like i was pulling his hair. o_o;

i'm definitely going to try again tonight. forget school!

i think this tech got me my 2nd LD!! i decided to try it at around 6 a.m. it started out as a normal dream and in it i decided to go to bed and do the FILD tech. then out of nowhere i felt a tingling sensation in my feet so i got up and quickly did a RC (the nose pinching one) and i realized i was dreaming but something weird happened. i had like this double vision where it felt like one eye was seeing the real world and the other the dream world. i did another RC with the nose again and i could see it with one eye but not the other. i didnt like it so i went back to a normal dream. oh i tried flying but only got as far as my roof then floated back down. im def trying this again tonight/tomorrow morning!

I have a good feeling about this technique, but I do have some questions(Im new to LDing, bear with me)

1)Will I ruin it if i open my eyes to turn off my alarm?
2)Im supposed to focus on nothing but my moving fingers rite?

i like this way becaused you dont have to stay awake for an hour. every time i try this, when i go back to sleep, i doze off before i can even think of concentrating. ive left myself notes that tell me to concentrate, but them when i start to tap my fingers, i cant sleep.
doese anyone think that i could play a song quietly in the background and concentrate on that insead. and that as i gall asleep, i will still be thinking of the song and know that im dreaming? im going to try tonight and if anyone has tried this, then please tell me the results.
thanks!

I use Mild first, but 90% of the time I'll wake up sometime between 3 and 5 anyway. That's when I reinforce myself with Wild, and I'm in. I'll have to try this FILD.

This almost worked for me last night. The strange thing is that when I woke up in the middle of the night, I quickly fell asleep and didn't get a chance to focus on what I was going to do, so instead, I did this technique in my dream without knowing anything ^^

I've been trying this technique the past few nights, but something odd happens whenever I wake up in the middle of the night. I go to bed at around 11 and wake up at 330, but my alarm is set for 4 or 5. But whenever I wake up on my own like that, I feel really restless, like I've been trying to go to sleep for a really long time. Thus, I'm not tired enough to do the technique and I just end up falling asleep.

I slept two hours yesterday, I'm so tired ... I'm going to try this technique before going to bed and if the RC fails, I'll set up my alarm for 3:00AM and go from there

I'll give feedback and hopefully get my first LD !

What a night :D : 4 Dreams, and these were very special draems each. Let me tell you my night smile

So I go to bet at 10:30PM, I'm very tired because I only slept two hours the day before so I go to bed, extremely tired and I relax. When I feel I'm going to sleep, I start moving my fingers. After ~15sec I feel like my conciousness is drifting from my body and I feel very goood. At this point, I get excited and for some reason (adrenaline release or so) I get excited and awake sadblauw. I RC and can't breath trought my nose, so no worries. I relax for another 20 mins and do the same thing again, didn't work either. At this point I decided to set my alarm at 3:45AM (big mistake) and that I'd try this during the night.

So I go back to sleep with no intention of lucid dreaming in the first part of the night. Now I'm having my first dream, not lucid bud the dream was very vivid. I remember talking with my best friend, we just saw something ultra-scary but we were like "No that's unrealistic, doesn't scare me" :D That wasn't a nightmare, juste a ND. Then my alarm goes on.

I wake up, try the technique with the fingers but it didn't work. So I decided I'd try WBTB, so I go to the bathromm, go to the kitchen and take a glass of water. At this point, I'm really really tired and I decided I'd go to bed asap and try the technique. I move my fingers and 30 secs later, I have a weird feeling and I don't remember exactly what happened but I woke up in a dream, and was lucid (no need to RC, I saw my body without being in it neutral). The bad thing is that I couldn't materialize in my body whatsthat So I spent 1 or 2 mins looking at me, with no possibility to materialize and interact with others etc. So that was my first lucid dream, yay :D

Then I have a blackout, everything is black and I wake up in another dream where I was not lucid but concious, I just acted as I was in real lief and I didn't think one second I was in a dream ! It seemed so natural I didn't even think about it.

After this, I wake up (morning), semi-disapointed because I didn't have the lucid dream I wanted. After 2-3 hours, I was still very tired so I went back to sleep for 2-3 hours. Here, no technique I just went to sleep and well, I woke up in my dream, it was just like reallity but one thing was different : I can't find the words, but there was no society rules / presure. I did everything I wanted and nobody judged me / punished me, awesoommeee :D

In this last dream, I'd say I was very concious (because I DID what I wanted to do) but I was lucid only the last few secs, when I had a part of my body that was detatched of me without any pain, there I really understood that it was a dream lol

So anyway, amazing experience for the first attempt, I enjoyed it and I'll try this again and again smile Also I'm going to introduce myself and open my journal like everybody smile

Cheers

Well here's the story of my first try.

I fell asleep around 11 and had my alarm set for 2 and I used my ipod touch alarm which has a beep about twice a second or so and when it woke me up my neck muscle was like tensing up at every beep. Not just a twitch but enough to move my head.

After that weirdness and turning my alarm off I noticed i could hear/feel my heart beating in my chest and when i layed on my stomach I could feel my heart beating against the bed. I started moving my fingers and then the feeling/sound of my heart faded and I knew I was going into a dream.

At this point I lost lucidity, but I guess I still followed through with my RC in an indirect way. I just appeared in a restaurant and I saw a guy eating soup. I went up to him and was like "Hey I need to check if I'm in a dream so can you see if you have telekinesis?" He levitated his soup and I was like well I guess I'm in a dream.

I think I became slightly lucid at this point, but then I did something weird with my breathing that caused me to wake up. I think what happened was that I went to sleep with my mouth closed and when I was in the dream I remember starting to feel like I was between real life and the dream and when I tried breathing through my mouth in the dream I ended up doing it in real life too, but my mouth was closed so I couldn't breathe and that made me wake up.

I guess it didn't work out too well, but it was still a success for me because after about 4 months that was the closest I've gotten to a LD.

I'm looking forward to trying it again tonight ^^
