I’ve had around three hypnagogic hallucinations, the most recent having been a year ago. I felt really scared and I felt like if my heart was being crushed and I felt like I was being electrecuted or something.

Anyways, I don’t want to sound like a showoff or something, but I’ve had lucid dreams pretty regularly since I was a little kid. I usually have one once a month. I had no idea that lucid dreams were rare naturally, I thought everyone got them every once in a while. I also did not know that it was possible to have them voluntarily, I found out just last night! I’m very eager to become a lucid dreamer. So last night I tried by counting backwards from 100 saying “I am dreaming” in between each number and when I got to around 20, I started feeling my body “going to sleep.” Boy did it feel weird! Anyways, I got to zero and started again from 100 but just fell asleep and ended up having no lucid dreams

Or maybe I just didn’t remember them! lol

But yeah, the whole time while I was counting for some reason I thought that I was going to have a hypnagogic hallucinations.

Er[size=100]rr[/size]… [size=92]yes, this idea came[/size][size=75] into my mind[/size].

stop scaring me

I tried a WILD 2 times this night, but I don’t think its the right technique for me. When I count after a short time I end up saying 13, I’m drown 14, and a half hour. I also become easily distracted by my ventilation thing. Not to mention the irresistable itches of terror… Also I woke up this night and the night before at 3 o’clock. Approximatly after 4 hours of sleep. 4 hours is too short to do a WILD right? Or any other technique?

I’ve been trying each night again and I’ve had no results! It seems that I was better off before I started these techniques lol

well, i’ve started keeping a dream journal and i’ve been remebering two dreams a night, which i hear is pretty good.

I guess the WILD technique hasn’t worked for me yet, but for some reason I feel that it will work if I keep trying.

Snow, i think it’s supposed to be six hours but four hours i think could work
