      How close am I?

      Last night, I went into sleep paralysis for the first time. It's the weirdest sensation I've ever felt. I think I got close to a WILD, but I can't be sure. Here's what happened:
      I was meditating, trying to keep a clear mind and try to HILD (Hypnosis, supposedly you do it once and then your mind automatically gives you lucids), when I started to see vague static images. I concentrated hard on one, an apple, and tried to give it form. All of a sudden, the patterns became much faster and my eyes felt like they were rolling back in my head. My heart must have been going 150 BPM. It was like I was spinning a little, but I could tell I wasn't moving. Then, I think I heard audio HH - But it's nothing like what other people have said. I heard what sounded like a guy opening a soda can, and then footsteps coming towards me. I got scared then, and tried to get out because it sounded so real. When it stopped, I sat up in bed, did an RC, then wrote about it in my journal. That night I didn't remember any dreams.

      So, the question is, just how close am I to WILDing? And should I try to get better dream recall before I keep going? Any help would be appreciated.

      Thanks!

      If you were able to sit up, you weren't in sleep paralysis. Hallucinations =/= Sleep Paralysis. These were just hypnagogic hallucinations, which are certainly a step up for someone trying to WILD. Just keep it up.

      Spoiler for if you really want to learn to 'HILD' don't read this part:
