I didnt go into sleep paralysis but I noticed that my right arm started to feel heavy and tingled here and there. I'd feel a bit jumpy inside after each slight feeling. However i know that this was probably just psychological because i still felt very much awake. I felt slight disorientation but not even to the point of almost drifting off. Finally i decided to forget about it and went on my left side and fell asleep. I still wanna try this so can someone help me on how to just relax since its not a bid deal? Oh and post your experiences in the WILD because im still clueless and mystified by the whole conscious all the way through thing and then "leaving your body" or whatever.[/b]
Hey, i know what you mean about feeling a bit scared trying this. I've only did a WILD like once (and it never worked. lol), and it was kinda weird but not scary if you know it's all in your head. I dunno, but are you trying to WILD when you go straight to bed? Or are you doing the "wake back to bed" before you try to WILD? i dunno if you can WILD before getting any sleep but maybe somebodys done it.

Theres a few good ways to relax that you can prolly read about on this site. When i tried a WILD, it was after going to sleep and then waking up really early and then going back to bed but relaxing and focusing on my breathing. I focused hard on my breathing till i felt myself go numb, then vibrations sorta took over and i couldn't move. Then i screwed up and lost the vibrations but i think if you get to that point, all you have to do is concentrate on a dreamscape and you'll go into a dream still being conscious and then you're lucid

It's really nothing to be scared of though. SP can be pretty cool actually if you just relax while it's happening.

I hope that helped
