First of all I’d like to say hello to everyone here .
I discovered LD about 3 days ago. Like any newbie i went to bed straight away in attempt to WILD dream. obviously i have failed miserably. Day 2, i researched the topic and attempted WILD before afternoon nap. I would go numb after a while of laying still and repeating mantra. Then my heart rate went up and breathing became heavy. I knew this may happen, so i ignored these. Then body would just relax and i stopped feeling anything. However really annoying thing happened, my eyes started to open! Experiencing similar problem during first night, i knew it was not the OBE. Luckily i kept still and once eyes closed i carried on with mantra. I fell asleep and next thing i remember is my sister shaking my leg.
While the WILD has failed, the mantra may have helped me to remember a dream. Suprisingly enough i was observing one of the Mr. Bean films lol. I reckon i was half aware that i was dreaming and i had no control over it. In hind sight i could have at least attempted ab RC, but I… just did not. It could have been a successful MILD if i did.
Could anyone provide me with tips to successfuly induce a WILD and/or MILD? Tonight I’m planning to attempt WILD with mantra with WBTB. I realise it takes practice, but I’d like to slightly boost my odds. Also I would love to find out the solution to the opening eyes problem, as it is really distracting.
Thanks guys
