Ok, so I didnt WILD all the way yet, but here's what happened...

This morning while I was using the WBTB method I got closer than ever to a successfull WILD. I was only trying to use MILD to induce a lucid dream since that has been working really well for me lately (lucids 4 out of 5 days trying). I had started to drift off into sleep when I realized the signs of a WILD coming on. My body felt stiff but I could feel waves of energy going through me. I tried telling myself to just calm down and ride the waves and at first I was, but the closer I got the harder my heart was beating until it felt like a drum inside my chest. The feeling subsided but I stayed still and told my body to relax again and I was soon having the same wave feeling as before but I must have been to excited again because they went away also. As a last effort I though maybe I had made it and just not realized, but that was shot down as soon as my reality check told me I was awake. I still ended up having a lucid dream this morning so the night wasn't a waste.

If anyone could give me some pointers on what I might want to think of or focus on next time this situation happens so that I dont over react and wake myself up from the WILD.
During the actual waves, there were no Hypnagogic images, just me and my body. Thats about it... all in all it was a very interesting morning for me!
