Thread: WILDing "pulse"

As the pulse begins, turn around. Some find them selfs in a dream, just as they've turned around. It might work for you aswell

I'm currently working on the cause of the pulse. I've considered that it may be the low levels of melatonin the body switches to that may stop the depolerization of nerves so we don't move in a dream. That chemical change while our minds remain conscious might produce a pulse or rush. I'm currently working on a theory that WILDs' vibrations and pulses originates from the eustachian tube as with yawns. This may have to do with pressure changes, which I haven't been able to reason a logical answer for. Also, another reason why we pulse is because the change between sleep breathing/pulse and conscious breathing/pulse. As our bodies have an automated breathing system when we sleep, we change over to that when we WILD. This change of oxygen in the blood and blood pressure might produce an intense rush, and a shocking (intimidating) experience.

I have no justification for any of this, which is why I haven't concluded my research.... but it sure sounds good to me.

Marvo - Thanks for the advice; I'll try as soon as I manage to reach another pulse : I've only had one so far. While WILDing I'm always really hypersensitive about the environment, which probably doesn't help I keep expecting creepy voices in my ear XD

Gawain - That's a really interesting theory! What do you mean by pressure changes exactly, though? The only pressure change I've experienced (keeping in mind that I've only WILDed, like, 4 times XD) was when I seemed to switch from surround-sound to just sound in one ear. It felt like when you're going up on an airplane and your ears stuff up. Is that what you mean?

Yes, as in when one's ears pop to accomidate the new pressure. Next time you yawn, try to feel something in your ear. It sometimes feels like a WILD as there's a buzzing/humming sensation in the middle ear. Last time I had a good long WILD, it felt like I was yawning.

I have also found that when I wake up from naps, my ears are sensitive to pressure, as I had undergone WILDing recently, just unconsciously. If I hiccup after a nap or something, I feel the pressure on my ears.

I don't know why WILDing would have anything to do with pressure, but it sure feels like it does. It shouldn't quite feel like a pop though. If one has never felt the sensation during a yawn, then I can't explain it to them.
(The yawn must be a real one, as in with mouth fully open. Half yawns don't do anything.)
