just a quick question.. I tried a WILD but failed last night. While getting towards the point of SP certain parts of my body would twitch unintentionally. I think I have read somewhere before that this is normal but id like to be reassured.

This is normal.

Yeah, I had a major head twitch once! It feels weird! My head 'jumped' and moved positions!

It was quite freaky for a new comer like myself! But nevertheless quite amusing

So I sort of inadvertently tried this last night, as I've become really interested in lucid dreams again.
I found a description of a meditation technique and it was basically this, I'll list my experiences:

.I lay down and relaxed my whole body
.I then concentrated on just breathing with my diaphragm and keeping my stomach still
.After a while a wave of heat came over my body and with a tingling sensation
.Other things also happened such as my arms started to feel like they were disappearing, but every time something like this happened I got excited and couldn’t control my breathing and then it would start to fade
.At one point I started focusing on the spots on my eyes, when I did this my head started to feel like it was spinning and vibrating
.I also kept getting twitches throughout my body
.After about half an hour I felt like I should get up, I didn’t know about resisting this, so I did.



Is this sort of common for the first attempt? I'm going to try again tomorow morning when I first wake up from deep sleep.

Very good explanations behind things. I liked that.

But I don't think I have any of those problems. I really don't even know what my god damn problem is.

But this was still interesting, there were things behind those things that I didn't know at first.

I was getting more confidence to do this, and then I read about bloodcurdling screams.
Wtf, no way am I doing something where I might hear people screaming. That would give me nightmares.
Yikes.
