My take on WILD

I'm going to offer some information about my personal experiences with WILD, since they seem to differ alot from the majority of others, and may provide some more insight on WILD.

I don't think it is necessary to feel the unwanted side effects of going through the WILD process. For example: I can be lying in bed and go straight from a waking state into a Lucid dream without feeling any weird vibrations, or hearing strange noises. It seems a lot of people are turned off because of horror stories related with the paralysis and scary imagery / sounds. If that part of the WILD could be skipped, for those that don't want to experience it, it would be beneficial.

Last night I decided to attempt a WILD and actually wait for the wierd vibrations and sounds. (I do this occastionally because I find it fun, and it's usually not a negative experience) I say waited for the weird vibrations / paralysis and sounds, because there is a transition point where I have not yet had the opportunity to experience anything negative associated with the WILD, but yet know I'm dreaming or am in a "dream preparation" state. I believe that before the onset of perceived / felt paralysis and strange sounds, you are indeed already paralyzed. It is the realization of this that allows you to totally skip the negative effects associated with the WILD and still have extremely vivid lucid dreams.

I tested this. Like I said, I wanted to WILD WITH the vibrations / noises. I let myself slowly drift off when suddenly I realized that I could see, basically, my dream eyes were working and were looking at precisely what would be in my room as if my eyes were open in real life. Well if I'm trying to fall asleep, my eyes surely shouldn't be open. This worked as an automatic reality check. At this point I knew I could get up and move my dream body around. I'm already lucid. Then came the onset of the FEELING of paralysis, the intense vibrations and some of the most disturbing imagery I've ever had to deal with. It was ridiculously scary. Knowing what it was, it didn't affect me so much because I was anticipating it. I then endured the rest of the transition, but was put out of the dream at the end because of the intensity and lack of concentration.

I woke up, went to get some water, and went back to sleep. I wanted to test WILDing without having to wait for the vibrations. Much as I expected, there was a point before I would normally feel the onset of paralization where I knew I was in my pre-dream state. My dream eyes again were working (much like an FA). This not being possible if I were asleep (real eyes should be closed), I decided to get out of my dream bed and go about my lucid dream totally skipping over any vibrations and or disturbing voices I could have experienced had I waited the WILD process out. Basically, my real self is already paralyzed before I feel or sense the paralysis and vibrations going into effect.

The only real downfall with this, is most of the time the dream starts off in your room or wherever you are sleeping. For those people that have trouble going to places they would rather dream about, it may be more difficult to have fun and see the things they want to see.

I'm curious if anyone else would like to try this and hopefully verify what I've found besides myself. I'm 100% certain you can WILD without the vibrations and having to deal with anything negative. I'm just hoping someone else can repeat the experience.
