A low hum

To cut a long story short I have been trying WILDs lately. I can see it will be useful to learn and that I have an idea of how to do it, as I would like to get more routine LDs and practice more. Today I did get quite far. I started with counting breaths to 300, then went into a mantra meditation known as <PERSON> meditation. I got to a point where I was getting moving images. Did not quite make it to sleep paralysis and then decided to go to sleep normally. I dreamt one of my sisters gave me a surprise visit in my flat. After waking up I was thinking about asking her by text if it really happened or was it a figment of my imagination, then I lay down on my other side. I could hear a ringing in my ears and let it get stronger - it sounded like motorbike humming. Next thing I had some moving imagery of a motorbike and it going out of control. Next thing I was in a dream, but did not realise it (my penis was in front of me, but in 2D and flat). Had I realised it would have been actually a DILD, induced because of the WILD process. Early days, but I can see this progressing with practice.

Wow...I had such a shock last night. It came in so unexpectedly, I did not know what to think! Okay, so last night I woke up around 4:30. Not from a dream, or lucid dream, but I just woke up
