I almost had an LD!

Quest for Lucidity
1

I almost did it!

I took 10 deep breaths while counting then I kept saying “I will be lucid”

Then OMG I see things getting darker while swirling blackness and I get scared :sad: and feel numb wake up and picked up my black barrie and here I am :sad:

Once I’m in I keep trying to leave

Topic title changed from “OMFG!!!” to “I almost had an LD!” for clarification. :dragon:

There isn’t anything to be scared of.
Don’t worry about it. The more you worry, the more likely you are to get freaked out. It’s a bit of fun and its a very special thing.

Just relax, and have fun. Remember that you’ll be able to take control… :smile:

Never give up!

I’m exited/scared/happy it felt so weird!

I started sweating a lot when I woke up… How long does it take before the LD start?(starting from the dark part)

It varies depending on how long it takes you to fall asleep, anticipation, how tired you are… a multitude of things. There is no set time so you should just go with the flow of it.

I nearly successfully performed a WILD on my first night of trying, I got weirded out and I’ve regretted it because I haven’t been able to recreate it since.

Yeah Luke, same thing happened for me :open_mouth: I tried WILD on my first night of trying, and I got to the part where my bed was shaking and I saw like colorful images dancing on the inside of my eyelids. I got a bit chocked from the events so I stopped, and never have a gotten the same effect from WILD again.

i tried again now i am not scarred AT all i want to be lucid but i cant do it anymore :’(

you need to not really want to be lucid, just know that you are going to be lucid. Wanting it to much can get you less focused. I learned that the hard way, about 20 times… :bored:

can somone tell me how long it takes when first starting WILD/MILD to getting in the dream?

It varies from person to person. For me if you want to know, it’s about 20-30 minutes. MILD , I fall asleep once I become numb and my body begins to twitch. WILD , it takes a different amount of time everytime for me. One time I was laying there for what I’d say 30-50 mins? It’s hard to keep track of time when your focusing that much.
