Strange WBTB morning

[Bowie]

This morning I had quite a strange experience. I was trying WBTB, which has been succesful for reaching lucidity for me a few times before. But this time was different. I did everything the way I usually do it: get up, get something to eat, read some and then go back to sleep while doing MILD (repeating a mantra). As I was falling asleep, a few things happened to my body. First of all, I had the sensation of tumbling or falling. I have this regularly, and it has actually helped me get lucid once, so I didn't find this strange. However, I also felt a pulsating pressure on my stomach. The 'waves' of this pressure became increasingly intense, almost to the point that I wanted to stop falling asleep. Simultaneously with the waves stomach pressure, there was pressure on my ears, also pulsating in a slow tempo. This all was paired with a even more intense orgasm-like feeling in my genital area. I've had sleep paralysis quite often before, but this was different. I was not paralyzed at any time during all this. I decided to let all this happen and see if I could enter the dream from the waking state. At a certain point I felt tiles below my hands, or at least something hard and cold. I also started hearing some sounds. However, before any visuals started to appear, I slowly started fading back to the waking state. Now this didn't just happen once, it at happened at least 3 or 4 times. I just couldn't fall asleep. Anyway, I justed wanted to share this experience. Has anyone experienced similar things? I'd be interested to know more

Woah well i mean, the pressure waves on your stomach makes is sound alot like SP but, going to your feeling of an orgasm type feeling, i get this once in a while when im trying to do SP or WILD. I never really questioned it too much. As for the waking up, were you calm during all 3/4 of these experiences? Were you focusing too much on what was going on, or your physical body?

I was pretty calm, yes. I was focusing on the sensations in my body, or at least observing them, because I wanted to stay concious to enter the dream lucidly. I guess this is probably why I wouldn't fall asleep. It was as if my mind knew that I was concious, and therefore not 'letting me' start dreaming.

It was as if my mind knew that I was concious, and therefore not 'letting me' start dreaming. been there done that bro, takes alot of practice to get in that mindstate.

been there done that bro, takes alot of practice to get in that mindstate. Yeah I guess so. I'm pretty happy with doing WBTB+MILD though, so I don't really mind for now. As long as it doesn't happen anytime I try to fall asleep after MILD.
