hi all, first post so i apoligise for the inevitable “posted a million times” thread .
im very new 2 lucid dreaming, only had 1 on purpose, and it only lasted a few seconds due 2 my lack of knowledge (but on the first night i tryed so cant complain). but i decided 2 try 2 wild, just 2 see what the first stage was like.
i must of been in my trance (or wateva) for a good 30 - 45 mins, and id like 2 get an idea of which sensations where me getting over exited, and which are ones i should welcomle. and also how close i got for a first atempt, as i previously felt like wild wasnt for me as i normally take a good hour or 2 (or 3) to get to sleep as it is because i cant switch off my thinking.
first i felt a a numbness completely envolpe my body. it happened all of a sunden and was very plesent, next i felt like my tounge had swolen up so big, that it was taking up most of my mouth, and swallowing saliva became very diffucult. then as i felt i was seriously getting into this, my heartrate rocketed for no reason and breathing because difficult and shalow but i never felt in danger, i didnt feel like i was getting exited, but mayby i was.
i didnt see any colours… or mayby im expecting somthing else and ignoring them. and when i was counting between breaths, am i ment to concentrate on the numbers or just leave my mind to do it on its own? because for me staying focused wasnt the problems, it was sleeping. i was happily counting even if my mind did wander a bit.
would you say i was anywhere near close? im going to leave wild behind anyway because i need 2 work on my dream recall and my mild first, but i may return again when my quest for lucidity is thruther along
