Okay last night I managed to WILD when going straight to sleep! Never been able to do this before and never really heard too many people saying they can do it either...

Basically as you know hypnopompic sleep paralysis is the SP you experience in the mornings when you wake up before your body does, as oposed to hypnagogic sleep paralysis which is the SP you experience when you fall to sleep.

So last night I was in bed, and decided for fun I would try to WILD - even though usually you need to WBTB before you can. And I started to feel the shifting sensations as I do when I WILD and all of a sudden I found myself in sleep paralysis, like hypnopompic sleep paralysis, the type you get when you awaken, it was really weird and never happened like this before...

Has anyone else experienced this before, or know why it happened like this? Also has anyone managed to WILD when going straight to bed? I have never even tried it, since usually you need to be in REM sleep to have a decent LD. I am going to be trying this again tonight, it was really easy and I think it took little over 5 minutes from deciding to try to actually reaching SP then then onto a lucid dream

Anyway thought I would share and get your thoughts on this? I might write up a kind of mini technique if anyone else is interested in trying this, seemed to work really well...

Adam.
