I'm mad...

**Hollings** · 07-25-2008 08:52 PM

I woke up at about 6am and was still really tired so I tried to do a WILD because it felt like the perfect time to do it. So I start thinking about stuff and what I want my dream to be like, and I start feeling my arms going numb-ish...Yes it working! Soon my whole body is numb and I start forgetting where everything is and how I was laying in my bed. Then I feel the "vibrations" that everyone talks about...

Then the worst thing in the world happens... I feel something itchy on my ear, I'm like "that's okay, it will go away soon." then I feel It moving around, and I'm trying to decide whether I'm just hallucinating or something is walking on me.
after about ten minutes of trying not to think of the itchy thing I finally give up and I went to scratch the itch.

It turns out they was a little spider walking around on me.

I'm mad...I was so close!

At least I know that I can do it..

I would so HATE that!!!! I'm fine with spiders at a distance, but crawling ON me?!?! Um, I'll pass... But yeah, at least you know you can do it.

*shudders* Gah...spiders....crawling ON me......yuck...

You could use the spider as something to focus on, maybe...

People usually tell you to focus on your breathing, or count, or whatever.
Maybe focusing on it, trying to locate each leg, imagine it but not getting too into it would help you maintain consciousness? :0

Just an idea... Hmm, I don't know

Anyways, it's good that you got close, and indeed, now you know you can do it! I think that helps alot!

EDIT: Oh hah, similar experience I had when I was younger, I wasn't trying anything but to fall asleep, when I got an itch on my cheek. I was just going "Oh no not again, I can't be bothered to scratch it." then it went up over my eyes. Then I opened my eyes, and a black silhouette of some insect went over my eye o_o'

Nice attempt, you almost had it! And I'm sorry....but that was really funny!

**Imac** · 07-25-2008 09:13 PM

Oh gees I'm never trying a WILD now..

AHH.. spiders

**Hollings** · 07-25-2008 09:15 PM

I'm usually not freakedout by spiders, but all today everytime I'm itchy anywhere I get all scared

at least I know I'm doing things right

lol Spider. He was probably biting the crap out of your ear.

OMG! Same thing happened last night! Except it was a mosquito. I felt like there were two mosquito's biting me. I had to stop and shoo them away. Turns out I have three bug bits on my body.

Haha! Clean your room and vacuum the spiders up

As for the mosquitoes, take vitamin B1 supplement (they hate the smell of it) or point a fan at your bed so they have difficulty flying toward you.

Thank you! I have been getting bit by mosquitoes daily for over a few months. My GF does not have ANY bites, but she takes a multi-vitamin. I think thats why I started to attract the damn bugs.

Spiders suck I'd hate to know that one was crawling on my face

**Abra** · 07-26-2008 05:09 PM

Heh, I had a daddy long legs on my face a while back. The funny thing is, I was in NREM sleep, unconsciously scratching and rubbing the minor annoyance. Finally, I woke up and found that not only was a spider on my face, but I had rubbed half of its legs off (a couple on my bed, another few sticking to my face). Pretty gross, but whatever.
