I’ve been trying to lucid dream on and off for the past couple weeks through a couple different methods. I’ve gotten pretty close I think a few times, but last night I really feel like I was almost there. usually I get to where my body is mostly numb and my legs feel like they’re pointing in the wrong direction, but last night my whole body felt numb and really wide(? like stretched out?) and jumbled up and my vision started feeling like it was zooming in on the space behind my eyelids.
what messes me up every time is parts of my body start aching really really bad. obviously I know it’s normal for them to twitch and it’s normal to get the urge to move but the urge to move starts turning into an unbearable pain. on previous nights it’s been in my arms or legs but last night it was in my chest and radiated outward, getting worse and worse, until finally I couldn’t take it anymore and had to move. I really want to lucid dream but I cant get past the pain. any advice?
