WILD Vibrations

[redder]

Over the weekend this question came to me. In most of the WILD guides I have read, it mentions that you may feel vibrations. I was wondering, does it just feel like your vibrating, or are you actually vibrating?

i have never actually WILD'd successfully, or gotten that close, but i assume that you would just feel like you are vibrating, not actually be vibrating. since around that stage, sleep paralysis should be setting on, i couldn't imagine that your body could physically vibrate while you're losing a connection to your physical body.

The so-called vibrations are part of a series of things that happen in hypnagogia. Hypnagogia is the sleep onset situations your body goes through every night when falling asleep. The vibrations themselves are an indicator of entering Sleep Paralysis, in which your mind detaches from your real body. It happens so that, when you try to move, you won't move your real body at all. Instead, your mind will try to visualise yourself moving, creating your Dream Body. Feeling the vibrations means you are close to entering a dream when WILDing. It oftens comes together with other kinds of hallucinations, such as hearing loud voices, falling sensations, spinning sensation, and the similar. There's nothing to worry about it: it's all made by your mind.

I remember the first time i tried to have a WILD. I was somewhere along in the state of hypnagogia (looking back I was very close to achieving lucidity) and the intense numbing out-of-body paralysis experience freaked me out so bad that i shook myself awake and had trouble falling asleep for the next three or four nights.
