REM while WILDing, not WBTB

[feren6]

Hey everyone, Just incase you don't know me, i'm new here...I just started getting interested after I saw a link to this forum from a polyphasic sleep website (I was just browsing). Anyways, I tried to WILD last night, and I sat in my bed for an hour..nothing exciting happened. I'd just count, try and keep my concentration, and every once in a while i'd see streaks of light..like little green blobs go across my eyes. I squinted so I could see the images better, and my eyes started to SHAKE like crazy...is this REM? I tried to persist..my heartbeat become very high, and then the lights went away and it was like I was back to the start. I didn't move the whole time, except when I had to swallow my saliva..and small head/toe twitches. Is this normal? Was I close? What should I do? Thanks.

If you squinted your eyes technically speaking you moved your eyes which you are not supposed to do so this could of messed up your WILD attempt.

Brandon Heat -- thanks for the info! I'll be sure not to move my eyes when I try and WILD.

If you see any images, blobs, or streaks of light what you are supposed to do is notice them and that's about it. If you will notice with your eyes closed you can see everything whether it be in the corners in front above below etc. What you want to do is notice what is going on, but to not focus on any one thing or move your eyes.
