tension headache during visualization

[Swaroop]

your problem is somewhat shared by me too...
I get tension head ache...but I dont think that is due to OBE attempts

[BOATS]

I believe that the phasing idea is really a great idea to AP.  I know three times awaking from a vivid dream I lay in bed and visualized myself going back into the dream I just exited from.  I understand this is also called WILD.  If I am successfully at this AP it is almost as if I black out for a split second and get a jolt like being tapped on the forehead.  And then say WOW because I find myself lucid in the AP or dreamscape.  The problem I encounter while attempting to do this from a fully awake state into the hypnagotic is while trying to visualize the number 12 or the black 3D landscape with my third eye as Monroe suggested I get a tension headache which throws my concentration off.  When I relax my third eye I then get a lot of imagery all over my field of vision but can not lock on to anything with out bringing back the tension.  Another problem I encounter when attempting to create imagery is that there is a definite reduction in my heart rate that annoys me because it gives me a little chest pain or upper abdominal pain. Last night I awoke ten times and entered very vivid dreams but my dream body just does not get it and become lucid.  It is frustrating.  Any sujestions would be helpful.  Meaby an asprin is all I need.
