lucid dreaming...?

Question

I was reading about it and I tried the whole counting backwards from 100 followed by "i am dreaming" thing. I started to feel tingly and heavy all over, but the refrigerator snapped me out of it when it came on. I was just wondering if the fact that I felt that way meant it was working?

another thing is, when I am falling asleep I am thinking of things and as I get closer to sleep the things I am thinking begin to become nonsense, but I am still aware of them and how ridiculous they are. Is this usually how it starts?

Answer 1

Duh! I did not read your question closely enough. I think the tingly and heavy thing was probably a result of relaxation and maybe a certain amount of self-hypnosis (which is basically just an extreme kind of internal focus). I'll go ahead and keep the rest of my original answer underneath the dotted line. Hopefully the formatting box doesn't mess with it too much!

If you haven't already read it, may I recommend the book, "Lucid Dreaming," by Stephen Lebarge?

I can offer a few suggestions, but I must admit that I never had much luck trying to lucid dream. I was always able to lucid hypnogogic imagery shortly after going to bed, but I was never able to acheive it in any real dream sense.

First of all, in the book, He suggests what he calls the "Mild" technique. I don't really remember what it stands for, but the upshot is this,

When you wake up in the night after a dream, instead of just falling back to sleep, while you are falling back to sleep, rehearse the whole dream in your mind, except also add in a moment where you realize that you are dreaming.

Also, it helps to keep a dream diary, becaus you will start to see patterns (repeated material, symbols, etc...)that enable you to recognize when you are dreaming.

Also, it helps to several times a day, question whether you are dreaming. Look around at the objects surrounding you and realize that it could be a dream. If you get into the habit of doing this daily, then you will probably carry that habit into your dreams. Some people have had good success with using their watch alarms set to once every hour.

Things to watch for, in dreams, for some reason, written text does not stay still. The letters move, change, and won't stay down, so if you're ever in doubt, check some text if you have some near you.

Also, if you acheive lucid dreaming, don't look at your hands. For some reason that nobody has quite figured out why, many people report that if they try to watch their hands, they wake up. So much for my hopes of practicing piano lucidly in my dreams!

Answer 3

What you experienced is something called sleep paralyze. It sometimes happens, when you are about to dream. I have the same feeling to sometimes, its like you can't move at all, not even if you try, unless of course, some type of noise interferes with it. This may happen right before you are about to dream, or have another dream, right after you wake up. I think that while you are dreaming something just click in your brain and you realize you are dreaming, thats how it happens to me.
