So last night I had my first FILD. It was very brief. So what happened was I did the finger movement thing for around 10 minutes, then, as I continued to do it, I realized I wasn't really moving my fingers. It was like I was moving then in a dream state. Upon this realization, I would snap back into consciousness. Eventually, I went into a lucid. It only lasted a couple of seconds.
So, here's my problem: The FILD has been the most effective method for me so far, but it put me into such a light dream state, that upon becoming lucid, I woke almost immediately.
Any recommendations?
