Almost had my first WILD

I appreciate the advice that I am getting. This morning I manage to get my physical body to fall asleep on me it didn't take long this time though. About 4 mins while being like this I usually don't exprience this but I started hallucinating frequently. I know this is a way to enter a lucid dream correct? However I am not familar with this technique so I wasn't sure what to do while experiencing it. Eventually the images began to become more real, at first it was just glances of images flashing and then disappearing. Then the images started lasting longer and seem very real intill I actually felt like I was inside the thought that appeared. I heard a ringing sound when I was suck in to it and I saw that I was in a restroom with a purple glove with hot water pouring over it. I was lucid but I don't really think I could consider this a lucid dream as it ended in a second. The image just place me in and then push me out. How do I continue to go foward in this process?

I'm still new to all this, but even though it didn't last for very long, if you were dreaming and aware of it, you were probably having a lucid dream.

I'm also practicing this technique. Tricking my body to fall asleep while my mind is still aware, but the feeling of being paralyzed scares me to death so I always start struggling and just wake back up. Since you said this was your first time, maybe it just came as a shock to you? I would just keep practicing. Most first experiences I hear of don't last for very long.

I see, I find the idea of being paralyzed to be ok. It makes it much easier for me to focus on staying awake. You should use your determination to move mentally instead of physically trying to wake yourself up from sleep paralysis. Also thanks I'll keep practicing.

I'm not talking with my experience, but I'll tell you what I've read around about WILD.

When you get to that point, you're not supposed to "wait" and see what happens, because you'll probably just wake up. You are supposed to "enter the dream". Some say that you have to imagine yourself holding an object, and you probably will see that and find yourself doing it.

Also, someone around here mentioned an experience telling than when they saw the scene, they tried to reach it with the dream hands, first not feeling their body, and as they hold to something in the dreamworld and dragged themselves in, they finally found themselves inside the dream, feeling the dream body (not the one in the bed).

So maybe you just have to try interacting with the scene, or "jumping" into it.

Oh, of course, any expert that doesn't agree with this please correct me!

Good luck!
