I didnt achieve a lucid dream first time, of course, but last night I made my first attempt at a Wake Induced Lucid Dream and managed to get well into the beginning of the transition.
I began to get hypnagogic sounds and imagery (A bright light and unusual swirls of colour, birds and someone far away calling me) and my body began to feel as if it wasnt in bed anymore, as if I was just somewhere.

Now, what got me, was my heartbeat was VERY fast, and as a first attempt at a lucid, it was all a bit much I guess too much too soon and it freaked me out a bit, but is a rapid heart rate normal?

Also, I attempted this when going to bed at a normal time, I know this is not a great time for a WILD, but could it still work? It took me 10 minutes of meditation to get to that stage, nothing had really formed, but it was beginning to fall into place.

Thanks guys
