Thread: WILD Attempt - Also a few Questions.

Hey, heard about Lucid Dreaming yesterday and tried to start doing it this morning after I prematurely woke up from sleep and just continued on with my day.

Anyways, my wild experience first I guess - I lay in the bed for like 20 mins, probably started counting 10 minutes in (wrong time i think), but eventually i couldn't feel my body etc, breathing became hard and I started to choke, and I began to see an array of lights behind my eyelids. I was enjoying the progress when some annoying noises outside distracted me and i began to be able to breathe properly again and just had a hard time focusing, I should have probably kept trying to go but i frustratingly just got out of bed and looked for earplugs, well I couldn't find any so i just downloaded a white sound track onto my ipod, unsure if it would even work, tried to do WILD again and ended up falling to sleep after reaching the 60s of "1 i am dreaming" I've only documented 2 dreams so far, and nothing I've written down about them really counts as a dreamsign. Now, onto my questions

Sorry if they're somewhere on the site, i mind as well get them all done in one thread though.

What is/are the best RC's to practice? Right now I'm just looking at a dot on my hand.
Would white noise from an ipod (designed to block out the other noises for me I guess) be beneficial or detrimental? could it interrupt anything?

What is my best chance at getting a Lucid Dream within the next few nights? And if it requires some absurd sacrifice, is there a stable and reliable LD Technique I can just use at night times? (Instead of naps etc, I really only take them after i get home from school)

Also how do I learn to remember dream signs? So I can program myself to do a reality check when I see something out of the ordinary, how will I recognize it?

Thanks, hopefully that's all of them
