JLP

Last night I attempted another WILD.
It was a very strange night. I laid down and started my breathing and Mantra. (BTW, thanks Sageous: "Find Me" was much easier). I began to lose feeling in my arms and legs as my body shut down. pretty sure I was in SP for awhile. I didn't pay much attention to it, I just kept on concentrating on breathing and my mantra. I kept a small light on in my room but its set to go off at a certain time. While it's not 'bright' it was enough to trigger something when it went off.
As soon as the light dimmed my vision behind closed eyelids went completely dark. I told myself that was just the light going off and kept on falling. However, as soon as the light went off I felt like a shadow had covered my thoughts too. I started seeing a face but it was very unclear. My heart started racing as I thought of all the evil things it could be. Then as I was s remembered that my subconscious is ME. Anything I see is ME! I almost embraced the dark shadow in front of me. Sent those "warm feelings" towards it.

And then I fell asleep.
No lucid or non lucid dream that I can remember.

I always attempt a WBTB as well. I put on a gentle alarm at my optimal moment and I got up and got a drink and used the bathroom. When i laid back down I fell pretty quickly into sleep. When I woke I FELT like I had dreamed but have no recollection of the dream. Very strange.

So, I think I need to re-read some of the WILDing techniques about that moment right before you fall asleep. Also, I think I should get rid of the light.
