aww.. I would just go with it if I could. See what happens. Even if it feels scary, that's how you overcome it.. By facing it I'm sure eventually you'll grow familiar with it and it won't freak you out so much anymore. |

I've never willingly done a WILD before, I've done them spontaneously long before I knew what they were. Often, on days I have off and I can sleep in, I will feel the stages of WILD without willingly starting them. I remember very well the first time I entered a dream from a waking state, without losing my consciousness. I closed my eyes, and bam, I "fell" into a dream, and woke up within seconds because the feeling freaked me out. |

But I try to face it when it happens, but everytime, I just chicken out at the last moment! Oh well. |
|
It's not the WILD that is scary, it's the Sleep Paralysis... And I agree: this can be very scary!! |

My Dream Journal (starting @ 2008)
Lucid count 2008:
DILD=14:: WILD=8 :: total lucid time: approx 3h 50 mins
2007: DILD=16, WILD=13, total lucid time approx 1h 50mins
I would think that a spontaneous WILD would be scarier than a WILD you were intentionally trying to have.. simply because you're expecting the symptoms/body reactions when you're "trying" to WILD. |
|
Ok... So I've tried to be brave and face them... |
|
RAAWRR!! I'm so jealous!! |

I know it can be scary going into SP like that, but try to stay calm and remember that you go through it every night during normal dreams. I actually find it sort of relaxing now, though I've never actually had a WILD. I came pretty close one time, but I'd have to call it a WID because I didn't become lucid. Stupid for not RCing. |

A piece of advice from an experienced WILD-er. |

A little update: It's currently 4:20 AM, and I've finally "dared" to have a spontaneous WILD, I actually had no choice, it was WILD or no sleep. After I went to bed, I felt my body fall asleep before my consciousness, and I think I spent a lot of time in the state between sleep and waking before I woke up again. I first had a bit of a WILD where I was fully aware that I was about to enter a lucid dream; at first I fought it because I still can't get used to the vibrating and tingling, not to mention the moments between awake and lucid dream. I then realised that I had no choice because this state wouldn't stop, so I finally gave in, lost consciousness, and had a kind of short but very vivid lucid dream about a fawn in the grass in some mountains. |

Wilds are as bad as many think they are. Most actually get scared by the SP, and the HI. |

You do this every fucking time.
No sweat.
No tears.
No guilt.
You do this every fucking time.

Yay I can say something that no one else has yet although I can't take credit for its message cause i think clarity came up with it in her wild technique. As a wilder something that helped me over the scaryness of sp (other than what everyone else said) was that I would imagine myself flying toward the dreamscape which would always be like a portal in appearance and very peaceful. As I was flying I would go through barriers and as I went through them they would rattle me and make noise and all the other things that accompanied SP but I realized that they could never hurt me for they were just force fields and I needed to get through them to enter the dream. This helped me because it gave my mind a reason and for what was happening and kept it busy to help calm me down, I hope it helps you. |

Well, I ended up pretty much passing out, but I had lots and lots of lucid dreams, just not spontaneous WILDs. I drank ginger tea last night before bedtime, and will again tonight, just to see if it's affecting my spontaneous WILDs. Though they scare me less now. |
|
Ahh, I love the vibrations. It's always like that at first, it's a new feeling. Just relax next time around and remember one thing: |
|
I've had more spontaneous WILDs after my last post here... I've managed to go through with some of them, but I usually still chicken out. Now, they seem to happen every time I sleep more than 9 hours. After 9 hours, I wake up, and when I try to fall back asleep, it happens. It actually happened like 30 minutes ago, and I chickened out again. But they happen more than once a week. Aaah! |
|
There is no point chickening out when there is nothing at all to be afraid of. |
|
what gets me are the sensations of people being in your room.and i HATE auditory noises that come from SP D: even though i tell myself theyre not real they still FEEL real :/ |

I haven't succeeded in making it to the transition phase yet , but the audio, visual and sometimes physical sensations while attemping to have a WILD, are quite scary! Gunshots, loud snapping and cracking noises, the feeling of getting kicked in the back lol, extremly bright flashes and so on. |
|
Maybe try starting with a DEILD instead? The SP lasts way less and are easier to get into for some people. If it's the dream itself, then you just need to practice. I got a bit spooked my first few times, too. |

We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

Have questions about lucid dreaming? DM me.
I really want to WILD but have a fear of the unknown. Like someone else said about the presences. I'm not too afraid about the buzzing and shit but I'm scared of feeling like there is prensences in my room and that i'm paralysed and can't do anything. |
