Thread: Worm holes: Was this a WILD? If not, what was it?

I had some very spectacular transitions. One of them was a wormhole with checkered pattern. I like them, because somehow it is easier for me to stay aware. I can lose myself if it is a soft transition. I wonder that after a "beam me up, Scotty" WILD you was losing your awareness so fast.

Thanks for the confirmation of a WILD! Also it's good to hear others have had this experience too! I've only ever had this once so at least I know the signs to look for and perhaps try and replicate it again. I think at the time, this was probably between 5-10 years ago when it happened I had a massive drug problem, so seeing tunnels in closed eye visuals was a common occurrence for me, kind of like psychedelic or kaleidoscopic tunnel vision. It's interesting that you mention the tunnel in relation to supplements, perhaps there's some very mild psychedelic compounds contained within some of them which entice closed eye visuals, as I know from experience that psychedelics do create this effect. Not that I'm advocating the use of psychedelics for inducing dreams, but perhaps using other methods to induce closed eye visuals such as sensory deprivation or meditation, and using the mind to focus and try to hone in on the concept of the tunnel during a WILD attempt might make this experience more successful. This is something I'm definitely going to try and experiment with!
