Paralysed and awake on the edge of a WILD

Firstly, great stuff to this forum, only just stumbled upon it..

This happened about a year ago. I was trying to WILD and had succeeded only a few times prior. This time was stranger though and have never encountered it since.

I was just slipping peacefully across and the visuals were becoming brighter. Still saying to myself 'This is becoming more and more lucid with every breath' over and over. Then as I entered the lucid state without getting over excited, just marvelling at my environment, something must have made a noise or brought me back as an intense buzzing inside my head began to get louder and louder. It interupted the flow and brought me out of the dream.

The weird thing was I opened my eyes in bed and the buzzing got louder and louder and I couldn't move! Louder and louder still. I kept calm but was fully aware this wasn't usually on the menu. Now like a jack hammer inside my skull and I was starting to sweat and tingle as if been electrocuted. At this point after a minute or so I started to lose my cool and gave a concerted effort to move my arms to raise myself up in bed.

It was a biblical effort, as if I was being pushed down by someone. And so loud; imagine pressing your forehead against a washing machine on full spin! But I started to make progress, as soon as I managed with all my effort to get an arm up to wrench myself up in bed the buzzing started to subside and the loudness faded out over the course of about thirty seconds.

Its never detered me, I love becoming lucid. Its got to be the most powerfull use of consciousness that we have. But that was certainly weird. Waking paralysis induced by lucidity.

Anyone else shared a similar experience?

happy dreaming!

Hey there, iv had a some what similar experience quite a few times in the past, some were not even intentional though. Some nights id be lying bed bed, and because id be thinking about so many things with my eyes closed id slowly drift off into a near state of sleep. For me it feels as iff someone is in the room, watching me as i sleep, my heart rate increases as iff something bad is going to happen, i open my eyes by this time my heart rate is going crazy and i cannot move! I feel as though im being pressed down and i can hear a high pitched noise in the background whilst im feeling really on edge, give it around 10 seconds and i feel fine again. Very interesting to feel though, can be pretty freaky for me though as it makes me feel as iff someone is watching me sleeping and it makes me paranoid then haha :)
