Heart Rate Jumping

[Northastings]

Every time I ever try to do a WILD or anytime I have sleep paralysis my heart rate races. I can get vibrations, HI, falling sensations, I've even had OBE's while trying to WILD. But anytime I actually notice them my body is like "Oh shit, what's happening" and then my heart rate races up but in my brain I'm saying "Stop, settle down" but it does not work. Does anyone have these problems or any solutions?

YES! I have the EXACT same problem and so far I haven't been able to defeat it and achieve WILD. I've posted about this issue before, any I think the responses were pretty much that I needed to just try and relax. I haven't tried LDing much since then (around Dec. 2006), but I'm going to get back at it again now, and this whole heartrate problem is going to be difficult to overcome. It's like a natural, unstoppable "fright" that I get as soon as I realize something (HI, SP, falling sensations) is happening. My heart begins to race and then I lose all the progress I was making. Several people have told me that I was within inches of realizing a WILD, so I assume I (we) just need to keep trying. EDIT: I found my previous thread on this topic. As you can see, it is the exact same thing you have and others responded saying they have the same problem, http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=31219
