Yesterday I was once again trying WILD like I've been doing almost every night. I got very relaxed and in little time started feeling the mild spasms through my body.

Afterwards, I started feeling something that never happened in my previous attempt. My body started feeling very light, and my head felt like a complete different organ. It almost felt as if I was leaving my body, but I don't think it was an Out Of Body Experience. Afterwards I realized that I couldn't really feel much of my body or hands, but I kept concentrating on being conscious. I don't think I was near REM because I didn't see any swirl of colors, and because I didn't feel my body "jolting" as a result of sleep paralysis. After a long time with no further results I changed positions in bed and realized I had been laying there for 2 hours. Any insights if that usually happens (the feeling of my body floating), or on what sleep stage I might have been on?

My biggest question regarding WILD is what happens on the transition from awake to dreaming. Do you only yawn in the transition from wake to deep sleep, or also in other stages of sleep? Will I ruin the whole WILD process if I try to move fingers or toes to check for sleep paralysis? If you're around deep sleep, are you able to open your eyes to see if you're dreaming already or should you be able to see all images with your eyes closed? Will you completely wake up and ruin everything if you try to open your eyes?

Sorry for all the questions. I could only find explanations on what happens right before the dream, but I have yet to get that far.
