Question I am extremly curious about

Hey everybody! i would like to say i am newish to lucid dreaming. I started the whole “research” thing about a month ago. It became very interesting to me. I have been aiming to have a lucid dream for a month now. I have tried a few of the methods like WILD and WBTB.

Some times, i am falling asleep and i feel like i am entering a dream. It’s like a half dream. Then something happens and i fall off of something in my dream and it goes white. I get this really odd feeling in my stomach and feel like i am falling off my own bed. When i open my eyes i am in the same position as always. My question is, does this have to do with lucid dreaming or something else? I feel like i have learned about this somewhere sometime but i don’t remember what.

                       Thanks! :smile:

The falling feeling might be the inner ear balance shutting down for the night… not sure about the white-outs and stomach tingles, but I’d say it’s also hypnogogic stuff. :tongue:

Those are probably Hypnagogic Hallucinations, which occur about 5-15 minutes before you enter a dream. Next time try not to do anything when you have the same hallucinations. Simply lay very still and you might enter a dream after a few minutes. :wink:

thanks to both of you! mostly vampirism45! i will definitely try that. actually a few nights ago, I tried a WILD and came so close!!! lol…probably because i didn’t get a hypnagogic hallucination or whatever it could be. haha
