What is the vibration??? Beginning of LD, or OBE, or both?

Quest for Lucidity

Hi guys… Thanks again for everyone’s input in my other post “So what is it like”

I wanted to start a new post to get more input(Since sometimes people don’t look at an old post after they have read it…Hope that is ok)

Anyway something happen yesterday morning I am pretty excited about… One of the things I had experimented with is a supplement pill called “Lucid Dreams” I have only tried the pills maybe 5 or 6 times in the past year… I had never really had any success using them.

So I got up about 6 am to help my son get off for school…I was a little tired and decided to go back to bed… At the same time I decided what the heck and took 2 of the Lucid Dreaming pills before going back to bed.

The first thing that occurred is I think I had a false awaking… I remember waking up and my son was back in bed with me and I told him in a panic to get up and he was late for school(Which really was not the case… He had already left for school)

Next I felt almost between waking a sleeping… All the sudden I started having like these waves of vibrations roll over me… At first it was a little scary but then I kind of realized what was going on and went with it… It seem to go on for several minuets and at one point I even remember trying to will myself(My dream body) to get up… I even felt like my dream body was on the verge of standing up) I also remember a strange loud sound during all this…

Also my eyes closed but like I could still see,

And then all this stopped and I continued to sleep…

I have a book (cant remember the title right now) that I read 2 years ago specifically about the use of supplements to achive LD or OBE’s and what he described in the book is what I experienced, Kind of a combo of using the supplements, then a WBTB and then a WILD…

So my question is what are these vibrations??? Do some of you have these??? What does it mean??? Was I close??? I felt close to somethin strange going on…

I know there is all kind of theories on the subject of LD’s vs OBE’s… After much reading, I tend to lean towards the theory that an OBE is a really special kind of LD…

What do you guys think???

I am excited as I think this is the closest I have come so far…

Thanks!

It sounds like when you half-awoke you were in a state of sleep paralysis. This is a natural state in which your mind is awake but your body is asleep. The reason it happens is to keep you from acting out your dreams while you’re asleep. Many people report having strange tingling sensations, as well as seeing and hearing things. This is called Hypnagogic Imagery (HI) or Hypnagogic Hallucinations(HH). I myself have had HH of my wife trying to tell me she was on her way to work and then getting mad at me when I couldn’t respond because I was experiencing SP.

P.S. SP is wonderful for lucid dreaming, and the WILD technique actually strives to get you into a state of SP. Way to go! :content:
