Has anyone experienced this type of body-load before during WILD?

Whenever I try WILD, the black field of vision starts to shrink slowly from all sides, leaving a "white absolute emptiness" behind.
It is the absolute meaning of nothingness; Nothing exists in that spot, not even empty space itself.

Then the black vision field (which is the only thing that "exists") shrinks to the size of an electron.
It really feels that the entire world (which contains me inside itself) has shrunken to the size of an electron, leaving a vast pure nothingness which even is free of space itself.

The shrinking process is so horrible that I cannot tolerate the sheer terror of it, and open my eyes to end the mad cosmic theater.
Just imagine, the whole world around you suddenly start to shrink to nothing, wouldn't you get terrorized?
It also bears a really horrible annihilating body-load, similar to what the astronauts experience during light-speed travel in sci-fi movies.

I'm sure that if I tolerate it just one extra second, the entire world will vanish, and the emptiness will transform into the dream world.
But I haven't managed to do that yet, I fail and open my eyes everytime

What do you suggest to overcome the fear and the trembling body-load?

I have experienced something similar. Black space behind my closed eyelids changing into 3D blackness that was infinitely deep, or changing into a white semi-transparant "plexiglass" that was illuminated from behind. This white field always came with me noticing that part of my brain (upper back) literally came to life and started to hum and make sounds like water going through a waterhose. That was such a powerful sensation, when that happened I knew I just switched into different state of existence. I still get this "switch on" feeling and the humming and at that moment I know I'm transitioning into a lucid dream.

I have also had intense physical sensations that bordered on being unberably painful, or I knew they had a potential to become painful and that was a scary feeling. I overcame this by telling myself whatever happens it's safe and when it's over, I will be in a lucid dream. Oh, and I also LOVE all those sensations, even the "scary" or "painful" ones. Just because they are something unique and intense you can never get in waking life.

The body distortions that astronauts get when flying at speed of light - I get this and I call it "flying at warp speed". I can feel my face distorting like you see on skydivers or indeed in movies with astronauts. Reminds me of Jodi Foster in movie Contact. This sensation is incredibly intense and I love it. For the longest time I had no idea how to exit from it into a lucid dream. Then I spoke to OpheliaBlue who is a badass WILDer and she spoke about how she opens her dream eyes to start her lucids. Since I don't have any more of these warp speed transitions, I can't test this, but I have tried opening my dream eyes at ather transitions and I believe you can do the same, radium. Before I knew about this, I opened my dream eyes twice. First time I was flying in space near a beautiful pink nebula, and second time I ended up on a hill in a lucid dream.

I think that the key is to go into WILDing with very opened mind and with "no matter what happens, I know I'm safe" attitude. Good luck and happy dreams!
