Successfully experiencing WILDs
I feel so lucky. I started having sleep paralysis at the age of 14, it was a damn scary and crazy experience and went on sometimes daily for years. I have had it easily over 1000 times. It faded off as I got older and rarely happened. I knew it was basically me being caught between some sleep wake state. But until the age of 27 when I got online and did some research on lucid dreaming did I find the medical explanation of sleep paralysis which forever changed my life. I know many people that can't get past the fear during sleep paralysis no matter what they try. I was able to the first time I attempted and it showed me how powerful our minds our and how in control we are. After that I started having lucid dreams and then once in awhile when I would have sleep paralysis I would have an amazing experience and either OBE or have a lucid dream from that state.
In the last 3 months things have gotten a bit crazy. I started having sleep paralysis again on a regular basis. With me usually I will black out momentarily and then wake up in the paralysis state minutes later. Here is an account of one amazing experience if you're interested. http://www.dreamjournal.org/dj/index.cfm?d...&dream_id=24417
Anyway in the last 3 months instead of blacking out and then being in the paralysis state, I started randomly falling asleep and remaining conscious. Of course when this happens the state you are in is actually sleep paralysis, you just are awake for the entire transition and it was very freaky the first time it happened, I honestly thought I was dying. Then I realized what had just occurred. In this state I can physically open my eyes, one night i opened them and saw a glowing green light pulsating from my chest. I had never done much studying on chakras but looked it up online after and was amazed at what I found and it explained what I saw. My heart chakra, fully open. Truly incredible.
Well in the last month i have started to try to will myself into that state rather then have it happen randomly. I was successful every single time i tried (assuming i didnt accidentally fall asleep first which has happened lol). I feel incredibly blessed that I am able to do this with such ease and really can't explain why. One of the things that lead me to create my website http://www.dreamjournal.net was obviously the experience I have had. Now I am actually going to be going back to school to study Cognative Science. Can't wait. Anyway just thought I'd share. :)
