      So close?

      So, I decided to attempt a WILD this morning. I awoke at 8am having slept around six hours and was in bed nearly ten minutes later. It was rough at first, I couldn't get comfortable, sunlight made my room too bright and too warm, my dad was on the phone, and his television was annoying the hell out of me. But, I eventually got passed it, lol. I hit partial sleep paralysis a few times, but was unable to maintain the feeling for some reason. The last sleep paralysis I endured was the most interesting by far. Soon after beginning to feel the effects of paralysis, I began hearing high pitched screeching noises. Yes, they were annoying as hell, but I stuck with it. Eventually, the screeching ceased and other sounds began to emerge. Eventually, I noticed that my vision had changed - not my imagery - to a completly new perspective. Simultaneously, the hearing changed from external to internal and I heard my girlfriend say, "She's in the closet! Madeline's in the closet!" Realizing that this was impossible in reality, I made the decision to get out of my body, and for a moment it honestly felt like I was lifting out. However, around half-way through, I noticed something wasn't right. The sounds had stopped and the entire situation didn't feel "right." I opened my eyes, reality checked the clock, and sure enough, I was awake.

      No doubt a cool experience and well worth the frustration the early morning hours posed, but what happened? Was I simply in sleep paralysis listening to audible hallucinations? Was I in a dream and ruined it somehow?

      Madeline's in the closet?!

      I know they were up to something!

      Jokin', You either succeeded, or you were very close.

      Either way - Congratulations on the effort!

      Edit - Or maybe you did an OBE!

      Well, there were hardly any visuals that went along with this experience. I figured my dream eyes were just closed...obviosuly not...

      An OBE would be cool but terrifying lol...I want my first lucid dream before my first OBE for sure!

      Well, as I've said to alot of people. You're on the right track buddy.

      Just keep doing what you do, and you'll soon succeed.

      Oh and - You should put the information you gave in the original post in a dream journal, start on here on DV in the "Dream Journal" section.

      Cool, good to know for next time...

      I just couldn't resist the temptation to see why the hell the girl was in the closet haha...

      BTW - Did you mean near sleep paralysis?...or near lucid dream? I'm pretty sure I was in full sleep paralysis. I couldn't feel my body, it only felt like my mind was there.

      I meant a Dream. It seems like you were pretty close to entering it
