My First WILD Attempt

[Jared Boz 87]

I have gotten to where I consistently recall dreams every time I get a full night's sleep, so this morning I decided to try a WILD. I got as far as having tingling sensations in some of my muscles and at the peak I suddenly tensed up, my chest puffed up, and my breathing became very shallow. I thought that might be the choking sensation some describe. But then I relaxed again. I decided to go for broke, open my eyes, and do some reality checks. To my disappointment I was wide awake. I also saw that I had spent almost an hour trying to get there. If anyone had similar experiences with their first attempt, I'd like it if you could give me some of your personal pointers to get me going.
