Heyy Eddydpyl!

Can't give you a lot of info based on the things you said here you should wait for the "experts" from the forum to look at your post

Now for the ears thing. He might be feeling sleep paralysis or just some of tha fases of it. I dont know a lot about natural lucid dreamers only that they are rare. The "plug" sound was maybe because of his mind shifting to the dream. Like a shift of some sort. Like the sound in "Inception" or "The Matrix".

As you said when he starts feeling that he just starts lucid dreaming or goes in the dream it self. Its his way of entering the dream and its a good thing he discovered it .

I don't sugest you go and do the things step by step like him. You have to keep in mind that everyone is different. As your friend he is a natural and so he found that signall, but you maybe arent a natural and you might not expirience it like him.

What I sugest is try to find your way "in the dream". Try doing some of the techniques here on the forum. Do them your way. The way they suit you.

Umm I am kind a freaked out about the eye roll thing. Now do you mean his eyes roll up all the way up like he literly doesnt see or like his eyes are twitching. If you get some more information on that I would be glad to read it.

Anyway I wish you good luck in your next lucid expirience my friend!
