Gotta talk about it :)

I’ve never really had any success in LDing. I did have them, but I was stuck in the original plot of the dream.

Ok, so yesterday i go to bed, and I start counting my breaths. I get to 100 and my body goes numb but I COULD move if I wanted to. After that I get all these random (I get funny ideas before sleep) pictures and this one - knife nailed in my grandmas couch draws my attention. So I start thinking about it, after few seconds I can rotate it, just like 3D so it feels like i could pop up in that picture and LD might start.

And all of the sudden I hear this LOUD sound, like a big sheet of a metal fell from the sky, but I am sure I it didn’t happen in real. After that I felt totally awake, lost my willpower for the night and went to sleep :sad: Why did that happen?

Thanks :smile:

Sounds like a False Lucid Dream to me. That’s usualy what I get.

Haha, that’s funny I get a lot of random ideas and scenarios also. I think it’s because of the Hypnogogic Imagery that appears and leads to dream storylines.

Loud sheet metal sound like thunder? Mostly if I’m too tired I also forget about trying to lucid dream again after waking up in the middle of the night, I just doze off again 'cause I’m too tired to attempt. It could be that you’re not well rested enough, having adequate sleep will improve the quality of your dreams.

This happens to me all the time when I try WILD, but there has never been any noises.
And when I get random ideas and pictures of stuff, I don’t really see them. The pictures are really faint, but they might become more vivid if my dream recall increases. I saw a picture of a chipmunk being sucked into a hole in a wall :confused: .

But, I’m the same as you here.

I think it is just your body getting ready to go to sleep. This is normally where I fail at WILD and fall asleep. Your probably almost able to LD now. I haven’t gotten an LD from WILD, or even any other techinque.

That sounds like HI only in an audio form. I sometimes get weird sounds like people screaming at me or weird electronic beats. I’d be pleased if I were you, it sounds as though you were extremely close to a WILD!

Keep trying! :ok:
