Help with strange near lucid expierience please...

Hi everyone. Well im here to ask a question over what is considered lucid or at least what is classed as a step towards lucidity…
Basically, over the last couple of nights, i have found that i am able to go into a sort of trance like state and have the beginning of what appears to me to be an OBE (banging in ears etc…) But i normally immediately wake up.

Now ive only been practicing lucidity for a few days, but the other night, I got the familair OBE expierience, except it was somewhat less scary. I remembered to say “i’m dreaming” but as i looked around, everything was black. It kinda felt like i was in a void and as I looked down at my dream hands, they were black also, leading me to believe i wasn’t dreaming yet so i woke up.

Can any experts shed any light! (bad joke) on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated… thanks. :confused:

Hi infinitycascade.

What you experience as appears as an OBE to you would be more commonly defined (by me, that is) as the onset of WILD. Anything you describe quite matches a WILD experience.

i agree with Xetrov, but for the banging in the ears, This also happens while i am in SP (to me anyways)

So it could be a WILD? I’ll have to work on staying asleep then. Thanks for the help…

[color=green]Hi infinitycascade

That banging sound you describe is exactly what i hear. Infact i have mentioned it in one of my posts. You wake up becoz it may be that you suddenly increase your focus to those sounds or you simply get frightened. But as u experiance this more and more, you will soon think of it as a norm and completely ignore it and continue to have a wonderful LD :smile: . Patience is SUCH a virtue lol :tongue: [/color]

Hi Jaxal. Funny u say that, cos over the last few nights i seem to be getting less and less bothered about them and seem to have a bit more control over them… I think an LD is close!
Its good to have so many like minded people on these forums! :wink:
