Still hearing the sound, i decided to move and just as i twitched a muscle the sound turned into a tiny "shhhhhhh" sound comming from the compressor. So it was kinda like the sound was amplified x10.
It's so weird isn't it? Last night I tried WILDing again, but every single time I reached the part where the lightning storm of different colored lights appeared my eyes kept slowing opening. I used a bandana to cover my eyes for the lack of a sleeping mask, which worked for a little bit, but my eyes still opened and finally I noticed I was actually wide awake. BUT I did have some strange dreams, which I'm going to put into the Dream Journal on this site pretty soon

That's a good way of looking at it. Next time I get to this part I'll try to just ride it through. However, getting to the full body numbing sensation is the easiest part about this process that I've noticed. But I shant give up!
