this morning i woke up and i tried HILD last night and i couldn’t remember any dreams or anything. anyway i got up and i was still really sleep so i decided to try and WILD i sat there for like 20 minutes counting to 100 over and over again then i started seeing all these things like little faces and they were rushing across my eyes like rainfall or something but every once and a while they would piece together to form someones face, it looked weird but i just kept letting them flow, i did this for a while then the phone rang what i wanna know is, was i almost to SP or about to enter a dream?
Sounds like Hypnogogic Imagery… I have never experianced this but to my knowlege that is what you describe…And HI is what you experiance before you enter a dream so I would say, yes you were close.
what is HILD?
Close enough for me! All you gotta do is when you see that kind of HI…try and zoom yourself in to it. Like maximize it in a sense. And soon enough you will see it around you, and you finally realise, hey this is a dream…I’m in a dream!
It seems you were very close, Ilovelucid ! Good luck for your next try !
There are at least 2 HILD methods. LOL ! What HILD were you using, Ilovelucid ?
Well I’ve had to many WILD’s and I can say I did that, well I saw what your talking about. That phone shouldn’t of rang, because after the faces, I had REM, then it turned white, more faces, trees, buildings, dream. No wait, woke up when trying to itch my brow, and found I couldn’t move. Freaked out and woke up…Try not to do that. I mixed my SC with my body.
i was using a 13 step one that took a really long time
