I've been trying different techniques to get another lucid dream. I guess the first time must have been a fluke, because it's been a week and a half and I still haven't got that feeling back.

So I tried wild for a few nights now, even though I know it's hard, it sounds like it's very reliable. I think I'm making progress but I'm not sure.

At first I just couldn't fall asleep and gave up.

After a couple more tries, I got this like, involuntary muscle spasming in my neck. I guess it could be described as vibrations. I'm not sure if this was because of the wild, or just my pillow. I still couldn't fall asleep.

After a couple more tries, two nights ago, I got the spasms in my neck, but also my arms. I was like "Oh boy! is this it?" which of course pulled me right out of it.

Was that it? or the beginnings of it?

Also, every time I do this, especially if i have my hands on my chest, but even if my arms are straight at my sides, to a lesser extent, my hands and forearms get totally numb. Is this supposed to happen? Or am I compressing a vertebrae or something?

Am I getting closer, or should I forget wild for now? I don't want to waste nights chasing wild geese.

thx gais.
