How close was I on my WILD attempt?

Quest for Lucidity

I decided last night to do a WBTB so I woke up like after 4 hours of sleeping, read my DD and went to bed like 15 minutes later.

Well I had intended to do a MILD but then it dawned on me… I don’t know how.

So I lay there repeating to my self “I’m dreaming” blah blah blah.

Well after no less then five minutes… maybe like two minutes, I saw a shape, it was a spinning triangle that was getting bigger and smaller, bigger and smaller.

Well, I just stared at it and all of a sudden like this force came over my body, it was weird as hell. I was getting the painless jolts of electricity thing. I don’t know what this is called but it felt like my body was being electrocuted but didn’t hurt at all. I was looking at the HI and saw some cool stuff. Man it was pretty cool and the feeling from the thing I had was awesome.

But I was sleeping on my side and on my stomach was a pillow and it was extremely uncomfortable so I decided to wake up, move the pillow, and reposistion my body so I won’t have to move for the rest of the night. Well, I couldn’t get that feeling back after like trying for 30 minutes so I just gave it up and went to sleep.

How close was I to entering my REM sleep? When does the HS kick in? When do I go into SP?

You were getting pretty close to REM. Next time you have that feeling try to relax and soon you won’t feel your body at all which means you will be in SP, usually around that time a scene (your dream) begins to develop.

Congrats on getting so close. I find that if i try to get me body to enter SP it doen’t work, so i just try to think about nothing as i wait for the SP

I find I can induce SP much faster after sleeping for 5 or 6 hours then going back to bed after slapping the Alarm. I’m talking I can get HI in about 2 minutes and go into SP shortly there after.

I was reading on another site and I found out that the ‘mild vibrations’ I experienced was actually SP… is this true?

After the onset of SP, how long does it usually take for the dream to develop.

It can be the lead up to, or happen during SP I believe. But I’m not epxert (haven’t WILD once), os don’t take my word for it :wink:.
