Hi -

I just right now tonight joined. I've had about a half dozen LDs. At first they were longer, clearer and generally more sucessful. (Beginner's luck?) Lately it has been difficult for me to remain asleep upon becoming lucid. But what happens then is of more concern to me.

As of late I have had distinctive and prolonged sensations of tingling and kind of "energy rushes" up and down my legs,
shoulders and head upon waking from a dream. It also includes lightheadedness. I feel as though waves of something were rolling over me. It gets very intense at times if I let myself go into it. It mostly happens when I almost become lucid and wake up or when I have a dream in which there was a very clear missed oppurtunity to become lucid. (I have identified 7 or 8 repetitive motifs (dream signs) in my dreams so far.)

In short, I have not improved in my ability to attain lucidness but I seem to be getting awesome at this aftermath body tingle. It's getting so I can kind of will it on during the daytime if I please. But I see no value to it nor have any idea what it is leading to or if it's skill worth cultivating (it is kind of pleasant once I got past the fear.). Any insights any body?
