How close am I getting?

Quest for Lucidity
1

Well, I have been working on LDs for 3 days know and last night I think I made some good progress.

I woke up around 5AM, I relaxed my whole body, the started to count, while I tapped my finger in sync with the counting.

I started to see some funny colors that were moving and warping, and just focused on them while doing my tapping/counting.

Sure enough, I started to get a really funny feeling through out my entire body.
It’s hard to describe, almost like my body was buzzing, and started to get warm.

No success though, and when I started to move, my body felt as if I had a wet blanket over top of me. I was moving real slow, and just felt really heavy.
Even my eyes were slow.

I did this twice, in a row, with no success, and just ended up going to bed.

Am I getting close? I think I am getting too excited, then losing the effect.

I think that’s called sleep paralysis…

Don’t move during it, I think that ruins the process, because your paralyzed at that time.

At no time was I paralyzed, I was able to move at will.

You’re getting close. Just keep practising. :wink:

Try to focus on the things you see, and ignore your body.

Yeah, that was what I was trying, and that’s when I got those feelings.
Should I just try and wait a little longer before doing a RC?

I’m putting WILD off for a while, I tried it for a few days and decided I was not up for it.

This sounds like a form of HI to me, it’s a good indicator that you were in a relaxed state and heading towards having a WILD.
