I've accomplished a WILD before, but now I'm too afraid to even attempt it again. I've accomplished it waking after 5 hours of sleep, and entered SP directly from going to bed at night (around 12 PM when I normally sleep)

On certain nights, I have an extremely certain feeling that I can enter SP easily. I also know when I will not be able to enter SP... its because I'm not relaxed enough or too frustrated. On the nights I know SP is easy, I feel like I somewhat am about to enter SP (things like I can't feel my hands, or I start to hallucinate mildly). Once I get these feelings I get sorta nervous and repress them, causing me not to enter SP.

I'm most nervous / scared of SP because of all the bad experiences I hear about it... and some of the weird experiences I've had with hypnagogia. I just don't want to be scared of odd noises or images. People (on this forum) have told me time and time again that I shouldn't be afraid because nothing can harm you. I know nothing can harm me but I still am afraid... I say that to myself during pre-SP in bed... but I'm still all freaked out. I'm not afraid of being hurt... its just those images / sounds are creepy, and just invoke fear in me.

Does anyone have advice that can help me conquer my fear of what scary things I may see / hear? I need something that will calm me and make me feel fearless in a time of hypnogogia. I just want to be at peace when attempting /experiencing SP.
