Trial and Error

Hey i’m new :content:
But i’ll be down with business right away :smile:

For several months now i am trying to achieve lucidity. I have read miles of text on the internet (including this website :cool: ),and though i think i made progress, i never had control in my dreams. But i do recall them perfectly ( i think).

It started with letting my body sleep and descend in SP. I managed that in 4 nights, quite comfortable really. But then the Hypno-thingey, i dont recognize images,not when i imagine,think,visualize nor focus on anything whatsoever.
What does happen, my eyeballs are itching like sand in your bathing-suit. And thus i really need to scratch, disrupting my attempt, and making me start all over again.

That was WILD, and MILD worked out in not sleeping at all, (i never sleep well, a reason why i am trying to master lucidity.)
So i am really exhausted, but very familiar with all the techniques and every time i think something is happening, nothing happens, resulting in a considerable smack on my bedroom wall .

Further more, i do hear high pitched sounds, plural actually. And the only thing i think i see , is the little bit of light from my blended window, dancing in my head, but always turning out to be a result of ‘‘nearly-but-not-completely’’ closed eyes.
i have read not to sleep in pitch black, however i tried blindfolds on numerous attempts, same result though :tongue: .?

As far as RC goes, in wake, i accustomed my self with checking my nose and fingers, now i do not even notice my self wanting to check, only the check results;

  • ‘‘yup, my nose is here’’
    -’‘still 10 fingers!’’
    And that like 15-25 times a day :neutral: .
    the right way or?

What i do feel while SP, is my rhythym of breathing slowing down, and then my stomach feels tingley. And eventually not feeling my self breathing unless i pay attention to it(always afraid i’m sufficating :bored: ). But is that part of ascending in to lucidity? because my breath really is slowing down!.

And then my heart beat, i can feel it in the fold of my ear on my pillow. But thats one hell of a beat, which slows down aswell accompanied by breath.

So yeah, those have been my experiences so far, and i am asking for an analysis/tips/tricks/or something because i havent slept for 43 hours now and thought to my self: ‘‘time to ask the professionals’’ :happy: . All i want, is a peacefull/usefull sleep on command, and all the lucid fun that comes with it. :cool:

Medical solutions according to pscycho-dudes and hospital are : sleeping pills…
I am checked every month physically, but i am A ok every time. So if i am right, its all in my head, or one slight mistake somewhere!? Because i kinda don’t know what to do about it :bored: .

Thanks in advance :happy: !!
P.S. If i forgot something to mention or any stupid remarks from me, i hereby apologize upfront because my focus is asleep without me :woo: .

When doing RCs, you have to really believe it is a dream. i do RCs whenever somethign weird happened, or something occurs that usually occurs in my room when I am trying to go to sleep (a sudden burst of music for example=alarm clock…XD)
If you are trying to LD without having enough DR, then I would suggest relaxing a little bit and sleep regularly; extra concentration on dream recall.
I noticed that if I get to sleep earlier, I will wake up some time in the night. g2g now!:smiley:

So i need to practice RC’s whenever something out of the ordinary occurs? and thus being aware of them?
Im gonna try to sleep now, :cool:

Well no luck on the dreaming, nor the sleeping last night :cry: :help:
