Whenever i attempt a WILD I get to the point where my body goes numb. My heart rate increases, my breathing slows, i go numb, etc. I saw light patterns and heard noises on two occasions, but the numbness is what always seems to occur, its what I can always count on to occur. Is this the transition stage?
Sounds like it to me.
Though when I WILD I rarely ever feel anything other than a very slight shifting sensation in the mind to alert me that I'm now in dream mode.
Its complicated. Most people confuse this stage with sleep paralysis. When really it is only a very deep state of relaxation. I can reach this stage any time i lay down. I feel almost like im floating, weightless even. Sleep paralysis on the other hand, once it sets in is an intense tingling or vibration over your whole body. I have reached SP twice. I believe that is the final transition. Dont take my word for it though. :)
Yes, thats what i think it is, too. One night i suddenly woke up and was in what i think is the SP stage, needless to say it scared the hell out of me because i didn't know what was going on lol. That deep state of relaxation is about as far as i can get. Every time i have a lucid dream it is by accident. Ive been practicing WILD diligently as of late and i believe i am slowly making progress, though.Quote:

Im sorry i just have to dissagree. Im not the dream god but im pretty sure if it was SP you would know it because it is extremely intense. You will feel a strong vibration in your whole body almost like your being electricuted or something.Quote:

Felt like someone licked or stroked my hair or something, the wierd thing is that when the energypulses and that goes on i actually CAN move or open my eyes, but then it all stop. But i use to get a little freaked out because my head get so hot that i think im passing out or something :P
Last night i got about 4 hours of sleep and woke up to attempt a WILD. I started out by concentrating on my breathing, but that wasn't working. Instead i decided that i would just go to sleep and focus on the hypnogogic imagery as it formed. What happened next is somewhat hazy, but i recall experiencing vibrations and a slight pain in the back of my head. This went on for a few moments. Next i remember seeing my mind leave my body and start to float all around my room! I was floating around the room for a few moments until i wound up back in my original body (which i remember seeing on my bed). Is this the transition stage? lol...I didn't end up in a dream though, unless me floating around was the dream? I had lucid dreams the last two days, but none of them were induced, i just happened to realize I was dreaming.
What he describes is what I associate with SP. It can be very different for different people.Quote:
