Hello everybody, I'm Eduardo, from Mexico, and I'm really exited about finding this community!, since I was 15 more or less (I'm 24 now) I've been interested in lucid dreams and outer body experiences although I haven't succeed to achieve neither of them yet (by purpose). I remember when I was a child sometimes I was partially conscious when I was dreaming, I even remember to change the dream or the environment by jumping, and jump "harder" or hit the ground strongly when I wanted to wake up. Eventually I forgot about that until about 9 or 8 years ago when during the night, suddenly I was upside down over my bed (like grabbed by my ankle), fully conscious and watching at my room, and something under the blankets (that assumed was me), everything super realistic. I tried to scream but anything but a hoarse came out of my mouth, and suddenly I was back on my body. Since then I research about this, and in different periods of my life tried to achieve an OBE or LD, but ended up frustrated and stopped. Also, I have a chronic problem with SP (specially when I have bad seep habits for several days), which somehow in my case is accompanied by pain (plus hallucinations and the other stuff), and most of the times I tried to have an OBE or LD the attempts ended up in SP, so it wasn't really nice.

Now that I found this forum and read more experiences and techniques I am exited and committed to, at least for now, try LD through DILD method, and maybe WILD if I don't have SP episodes, (I rarely have them now) before experimenting with OBE. I'm now incorporating reality tests and last night tried WILD for the fist time, and though I feel asleep and could't remember much of the dream, at least it was related to the intention that I set before starting, so for me, its an step!. Lets see
