After reading the WILD (Wake-Initiated Lucid Dreams) technique in my book, I had to try it for myself. The steps were : 1) relax completely, every muscle in your body, start with your toes, and work your way up untill you're completely relaxed. 2) Put your hards on flat on your stomach so your thumbs are at the bottom of your rib cage, and your middle fingers meet at the navle.3) focus on takeing deep breathes. let your hands feel your lungs fill with air. concentrate on breatheing for afew min, and then regulate your breathing.

I turned off all my lights, my computer, I shut my blinds, layed in the dark on my bed and did all the steps. just concentrating on breathing was something i'd never tried before, and I could feel something happening with my mind, almost as if it was getting unstable. After awhile of doing this....Something very strange happend.

The book said I would see strange geometric pattrens. That did happen, but I also heard noises. A "wom..wom..wom..wom..wom..wom.." that got louder, and louder. At this point, I snap myself out of it, and open my eyes. I feel myself breathing heavly, and my heart pounding. I then start crying like a big pussy. I think I cried because I had just realized that this actually works, and that kind of freaked me out. If I had stuck with it, I think I would have entered the dream state consciously, but I could be wrong.Hell I could have put myself in a coma for all I know. I'm motivated to try this again, even though it scared the sh*t out of me.

Can anyone tell me what happend? In the book I'm reading about lucid dreaming, it doesn't say anything about hearing these loud noises. Help me out.
