What it a WILD?

[adkriech599]

Just curious. A few years ago, I had woken up in the middle of night, I'm guessing around 3 o'clock in the morning. I was drifting off to sleep, when I saw this bright green flash and heard man screaming something in my head. I think he said, "STOP TALKING!!!" Even though it didn't mean anything, it still scared the hell out of me. After that was all over, a couple seconds later I could feel another one coming on, but somehow I managed to avoid another episode. Was this some stage of a WILD? I had always wondered what these episodes were. [/i]

Sounds like WILD, there are often visuals, sounds and physical hallucinations involved. The fact that you had a second episode only proves that you had a WILD experience. And yes, WILDs can be scary even if you are prepared. That's why I advise to completely ignore any hallucinations you experience during WILD, as they dont seem to mean anything and can be quite distracting.

Hypnagogia with both audio and visual hallucinations apparently. Since you were startled and woke from sleep due to it it, it was likely a hypnic jerk.
