Thread: Pushing past SP

Last night was my first attempt to WILD. I felt like I had reached SP but my breathing got really shallow. I'm thinking this is normal as when you sleep you don't need as much oxygen, however, as soon as I realised it I could feel my pulse beating really hard (especially in my stomach) and I need to breathe deeply again which I can feel pulls me out of the SP stage.

Has anyone else had this? I'm wary about ignoring it as although I'm sure it's just natural but I don't want to accidently kill myself through self-asphyxiation

The furthest I got was where I started to see flashing images in my mind's eye, I felt really heavy and I could hear footsteps but I couldn't bring myself to try and move as I knew I was close but not quite there. Next thing I knew it was 09:45 and I had to get up and go to college. I'd set my alarm for 05:00 to try a WBTB but I slept through it.

I'm pretty happy I got to SP on my first attempt, but it's hard to push past. Any tips?
