Yes, every time I attempt it (probably every night for the last week) I feel like something heavy is covering my body, starting with my feet and hands and working it's way up... but after that I feel like I can still move |
|
During my last two WILD attempts, I've experienced what I wrote in the title- moments of high pulse and a sensation that the body is strongly shaking. Althoug this may sound like SP, I haven't felt that I haven't been able to move during this stage. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this sensation? Is it maybe something you feel before getting SP? The sensation lasts for maybe 30 seconds then it starts dying out and it returns to calmness. I usually have some HI and twitches before this stage. |

Are you dreaming now? Do a reality check.
I've felt like this once or twice before. It freaked me out at first, and I jumped out of my bed when it happened, lol. Don't worry though, it's normal. I have those feelings mosly when I wake up in the middle of the night and I'm barely conscious. |
|
Lucid dreaming makes for a wonderful night's play.
I had something similar during a WILD attempt, probably my closest one. By the time I started feeling the "vibrations", my heart was pounding so fast andf hard (it wasn't really the speed but how loud it was), I mean moreso than I can remember ever experiencing, I had to stop and it took a few minutes for me to get it back under control. |
|
Both the heart pulse and vibrations aren't really happening |
|
This happens to me as well. Every time I attempt to WILD. My rate rate seems to stay the same, but its louder; and as if a numbness is growing from the bottom of my feet, up to my head. Then I can't handle it and stop trying to WILD. I have never been able to WILD successfully, and I probably won't be able to until I get past that phase. |
|
Why would you stop if you feel the numbness coming up? That's a good sign. I think you're focussing too much on what's hapenning with your body (which is pretty normal when experiencing a new thing like this), but it actually isn't really helping your WILD. Stay relaxed and try not to focus on what's going on with your body. Start counting in your head or something, try some of the mental exercices described in many WILD tutorials, try to forget you have a body. |

This happened to me about 3 times when i tried to DEILD. |

Thanks for the answers. Yeah, I think it has to do with excitement, like taylor mentioned. Always when something happens that you don't expect, you react to it and then it disappears. When the shaking starts for me, I always think "Yes I'm getting closer to LD!", and even though I think I'm relaxed the body probably notices it and then gradually shuts off the vibrations. |

This happens to me sometimes, but usually not when attempting a WILD. I might just be lying in bed, trying to fall asleep, when suddenly a large tremor jolts me. I assume it was just my shoulder twitching, but an earthquake commences, and I sit up quickly to find that it was all in my mind. |

Haven't had a lucid dream in 3 years, and I'm looking to get back into it.

I'm not too experienced in this, so I can't give you high-quality tips. |

The sensation you're feeling is called Hypnagogic Hallucinations. |

Pl, thanks again for your answers. Last night I tried to WILD again, and what I found interesting is that my night-WILDs seem quite different from my nap-WILDs. Last night I slept a few hours and then the alarm woke me up. And when I started to WILD it didn't take me that long to reach what seemed to be SP because I had a very hard time moving. Also, there was a strong sensation that something was pressing down on my chest so that I couldn't breath properly and my pulse decreased alot. This freaked me out a little so I moved, and after that I found myself in SP again 1 or 2 times but they ended the same way. |

The feeling of pressure on your chest is sometimes referred to as "The old hag". |

Hi i just started this week trying to lucid dream, im aware it takes practice but the last two night before sleeping (but attempting to sleep, while focusing on tje fact that ill be in a lucid dream) 5-10 minutes later my body starts to shake and I feel numb but also awake, eventually id dies out after about 30 seconds as after the first night i tryed keeping calm throughout this, but from what ive read people are somehow accessing lucid dreams after this but im unsure about how i go about entering from this stage. |
