Hey, I just created this account and have never been here before but my friend has told me about it, anyway. Last night I attempted the FILD method with moderate success. I woke up at 4 and had a hard time going back to sleep, around 6 I finally did, but when I did the FILD technique it technically worked but it was very strange. I fell asleep doing the finger thing, then my whole body got a tingling sensation, I let it sit for awhile then did a reality check, I was dreaming. So I opened my eyes and it was identical to my bedroom. When I sat up it was like my “soul” was being ripped away from my body, I had a very loud ringing sensation In my ear. And It was a struggle to sit up. When I finally managed to a did another reality check, still dreaming. I was standing in my bed room it was identical but my vision was grayscale
And whenever I tried to change anything I got the ringing in my ears. Plus I could still hear myself snoring. I woke up within a minute.
Anyway I want to know, are all lucid dreams like this? And can I gain more vividness?
Also do you always wake up In your room with FILD? Thanks for any replies at all. I’m really excited to having a real lucid dream.
I’ll edit this post if you want me to I’m not up to speed with your forum rules
