Hi,
I've spent a lot of nights getting what I think is close to a WILD. I lie awake at night, just thinking, and then I would feel a kind of sensation (Kind of like an electrical surge throughout my senses, and sounds slightly like a scream to my ears). These 'screams' would happen more and more frequently until I enter sleep paralysis, or what I think it is.
What I feel at this point is a weird sound and I think I'm observing hypnagogic hallucinations. My body feels like it's tremoring and I see white light with a lot of unreal things.
I keep failing at this point. I notice that I can still feel my bed or I feel my mouth getting dry. All of the images fade away and then I open my eyes and end up back in my room.
Last night, I was able to count down from 100 to 93 thinking to myself "I'm dreaming".

How close am I? Am I doing something wrong?
