Thread: hypnagogic imagery before sleep paralysis

Hey, i have a few questions on the topic title. let me start with what happened last night:

What i did was went to sleep and planned on waking up through my alarm. i did, waking up at 5 (i usually go to sleep at 10 or eleven) and i moved around a little. then i followed yoshi's wild technique. what happened was that i started seeing colors of red and black moving like i was in a tunnel (sorry, if i could explain any better i would). i did not go into sleep paralysis but i know why.

the questions i have are the following however:

- arent you supposed to experience HI after you go through sleep paralysis?
-If so, what was it i experiencing? a sign that i was about to go to sleep paralysis?
-What should i do when i see these colors again?
- (this one is kind of random) when you breathe, For WILDing, do you use your nose or your mouth. or a combo of both. can you please explain?

let me say that these colors don't come just from me closing my eyes and waiting like a min or so. i have to be relaxed for it to happen. I would like it if you can answer all my questions but will be happy if you only know a few. Thanks in advance!!

btw i do plan on posting here alot more!!!!
