My mother woke me up early turning off the light in my room and then just left me to sleep, so I decided to try a WILD seeing as it was roughly 6 hours after I went to sleep and that was supposed to be a good time or something.
So I lay down really still and counted my breaths and just relaxed in general. After a little while, all of a sudden my hands started to be a bit tingly and I had a really weird falling sensation in my chest and stomach. It was like... a rush, like they were collapsing in or something.
Maybe I was just imagining it or something, but it seemed to me like what was supposed to happen when you start to enter a lucid dream (I may be wrong though, so correct me if I am) but I got such a shock from it that I immediately opened my eyes and sat up, and the rushing feeling left me .
Don't be sad, that's really cool! You were totally on the edge of WILD. Those sensations you felt: tingly, falling, the rush, they're all landmarks to help you get there. The only thing now is how to use those sensations. For example, I get vibrations all over my body, mainly face head and hands (like your tingles and rush perhaps, a little different for everybody).. the main thing at that point is to remain calm, and let those sensations do the work for you, for a few moments. I'll wait a few relaxed seconds, focusing on the sensations, and letting them devour my whole body without dissipating. Then I'll either "open my dream eyes", or try to imagine a scene unfold in front of my eyelids. In the latter version, it's almost like my eyelids become transparent, and I can see my room, and I can get up and start my LD, and I never lost awareness from awake to this lucid dream.

I'd like to direct you to a thread that talks in depth about all the different sensations that a dreamer experiences while going through all the various possible WILD phases: http://www.dreamviews.com/wake-initi...ntry-wild.html. WORTH THE READ.


Anyway, back on topic: I had the teeth-falling-out-dream AGAIN last night. For me it's never a tooth here and there, rather HUGE chunks. Like impossibly large clumps of teeth that are all connected, and couldn't possibly have ever fit in my mouth. I have several dreams like this every year and I should really be getting over this by now :/
