Having some wild WILD symptoms

Pardon the play on words in the title, I couldn't help myself

Anyways, last night I attempted WILD with SSILD. I experienced a pressure in both of my temples that came in constant waves accompanied by hot flashes in my head. I tend to experience similar sensations when I meditate too much and am overly-mindful (as bizarre as that sounds). It usually follows the sensation of falling/spinning I experience after losing body awareness. If it gets too intense and too frequent I experience panic, headaches, and depersonalization. I have interpreted it as a sign of not being grounded enough. So understandably, I like to stop it in its tracks. I'm just wondering if anyone else experiences this or something similar while attempting WILD or other techniques. So far I haven't found anyone who can relate..

Falling, spinning, moving... those could all be signs of falling asleep and being near a dream. I do experience them a lot when WILDing/DEILDing.

Not sure about headaches, since I never had any painful experience. Could be a coincidence.

It's not the falling sensation that bothers me but the feeling of head pressure/twisting after. I don't take any medication either. I'm surprised it seems so uncommon. Oh well.
