The problem is, I'm initially fearful. Something about hallucinations and intense vibrations makes me nervous. Deep down I know that nothing bad would happen, but at the same time, I wouldn't want to experience things that were frightening or just plain disturbing.
I guess hearing "it's not that bad" would be helpful, but more importantly, what is it like? I've read a bunch of the WILD posts, and they mostly talk about swirling colors and mild vibrations. I've heard about sounds too (this would probably scare me the most.) Is it very overwhelming, or is it a gentle slope into dreaming? If I was just lying in bed and suddenly I'm shaking, seeing things, and hearing loud noises, I'm probably going to pee myself and stay awake for a few days.
